One of our primary goals is the maintenance of the security of our Services and your data. In order to achieve the required level of security that meets our standards, which can be referred to as one of the highest in the industry, and that of our partners, we incorporate industry level standards, procedures, and client-friendly policies geared towards the protection, safeguard, and safety of user data.

Since the Company is an organization that operates worldwide, we are, by default due to different laws, required to share your data with countries outside of the European Union (EU). In cases where the country we send your data to does not have laws similar to the EU when it comes to the protection of user data, we shall take every single necessary step to ensure, to the highest level of assurance attainable, your Personal Information is well protected. Examples of the steps we might take include:

• In cases where we work with service providers, we will implement specific contractual agreements that impose similar data protection that the European Commission uses for Personal Information.
• We, the Company, will only transfer, to avoid unnecessary data leaks and theft, your Personal Information to countries that have laws proven to offer an adequate or sufficient level of protection, when compared to our exceptional standards, for users’ data similar to that of the European Commission.
• In the event we have no other choice than to transfer, with the care, of course, your data to service providers in the USA, we will only do this if such service providers have signed up to the Privacy Shield. For clarity, the Privacy Shield by design offers what can be described as very similar protection to that of the European Commission.

If at any point, you feel your data has not been given the adequate protection it deserves, please feel free to contact us at support@bestcasinoplay.com. In the case there is a data breach that involves any of your Personal Information, we will take steps to inform you as required by the law.
