This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your data in accordance with applicable data protection regulations in the United Kingdom, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. By using Buffalo Spins Casino, you acknowledge and consent to the practices described in this document.

When you register and use Buffalo Spins Casino, we collect various types of personal information necessary to provide our gaming services and comply with legal obligations. The information we gather includes identification details such as your full name, date of birth, residential address, email address, and telephone number. During account creation and subsequent transactions, we collect financial information including payment card details, bank account information, transaction history, and deposit and withdrawal records.
We automatically collect technical data when you access our platform, including your IP address, browser type and version, device information, operating system, time zone settings, and geographic location. Your gameplay activity is also recorded, encompassing games played, wagering patterns, session duration, bet amounts, wins and losses, and bonus usage. Communication records are maintained for customer service interactions, including live chat transcripts, email correspondence, and telephone call recordings where applicable.
For verification purposes and to comply with anti-money laundering regulations, we may request identity documents such as passport or driving licence copies, proof of address documents including utility bills or bank statements, and payment method verification documents. This information is essential for maintaining the security and integrity of Buffalo Spins Casino whilst ensuring safe gaming practices for all users.
How We Use Your Information
The personal data collected by Buffalo Spins Casino is processed for specific, legitimate purposes that are essential to operating our online gaming platform. We use your information primarily to manage your gaming account, process deposits and withdrawals, facilitate gameplay on our slot games, and maintain accurate records of your transactions and gaming history.
Compliance with legal and regulatory requirements represents a fundamental use of your data. We verify your age to ensure you are legally permitted to gamble, conduct identity checks to prevent fraud and money laundering, fulfil reporting obligations to regulatory authorities, and respond to lawful requests from law enforcement agencies. The UK Gambling Commission mandates strict adherence to these verification processes.
Your information enables us to provide customer support services, respond to enquiries and complaints, resolve technical issues, and improve our service quality based on user feedback. We analyse gameplay data and user behaviour to enhance the Buffalo Spins Casino platform, develop new features, personalise your gaming experience, and ensure our games operate fairly and transparently.
Marketing communications are sent only with your explicit consent and may include information about new slot games, promotional offers, bonuses, tournaments, and loyalty programmes. You retain the right to withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time through your account settings or by contacting our support team. All data processing activities are conducted in accordance with lawful bases under UK GDPR, ensuring your privacy rights are respected throughout your interaction with Buffalo Spins Casino.
Data Sharing and Third-Party Disclosure
Buffalo Spins Casino maintains strict control over your personal information and shares data only when necessary for operational purposes or legal compliance. We work with carefully selected third-party service providers who assist in delivering our gaming services, and these partners are bound by confidentiality agreements and data protection obligations.
Payment processing providers handle your financial transactions, including deposits and withdrawals, and have access to payment information necessary to complete these operations securely. Identity verification services conduct age verification and anti-fraud checks using the documentation you provide. Our technical service providers maintain the gaming platform infrastructure, including hosting services, software developers, and IT security specialists.
Regulatory authorities, including the UK Gambling Commission, may receive information as required to demonstrate compliance with licensing conditions and gambling regulations. Law enforcement agencies may access your data when legally obligated through court orders or statutory requirements. Marketing partners may receive limited information if you have consented to third-party marketing, though this is always optional and can be revoked.
The following table outlines the categories of third parties with whom Buffalo Spins Casino may share your information:

Your Privacy Rights
Under UK data protection legislation, you possess several rights regarding your personal information held by Buffalo Spins Casino. You have the right to access your personal data and receive a copy of the information we hold about you. This includes details about how your data is processed, the purposes of processing, and the categories of recipients with whom it may be shared.
The right to rectification enables you to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information in your account. If you believe any data we hold is incorrect, you may contact our support team to have it amended. You can exercise the right to erasure, also known as the right to be forgotten, requesting deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or when you withdraw consent for processing based solely on consent.
You may restrict the processing of your personal information in specific situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing based on legitimate interests. The right to data portability allows you to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and transmit it to another service provider where technically feasible.
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time, and we will cease such processing upon receipt of your objection. For processing based on legitimate interests, you may object on grounds relating to your particular situation, and we will assess whether our legitimate grounds override your interests and rights.
To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at the email address or postal address provided on the Buffalo Spins Casino website. We will respond to your request within one month, though this may be extended by two further months for complex requests. Verification of your identity will be required before processing any requests to ensure your data security.
If you are dissatisfied with how Buffalo Spins Casino handles your personal information, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s supervisory authority for data protection matters. The ICO can be contacted through their website at ico.org.uk or by telephone at 0303 123 1113. We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly and work towards a resolution that respects your privacy rights whilst maintaining safe gaming standards on our platform.
