Personal information collected through the platform is used strictly for lawful, transparent, and clearly defined purposes. No data is processed in a manner inconsistent with the reasons for which it was collected.

Access to Information

Users retain rights over their personal information at all stages of the relationship with the platform. The following procedures apply to the exercise of those rights.

Accessing Personal Data

Users may submit a written request to obtain a copy of the personal information held about them. Requests are processed within 30 days of receipt, subject to identity verification. In cases where the volume or complexity of the request warrants additional time, users will be notified of any extension.

Correcting Personal Data

If a user identifies inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information in their account, a correction request may be submitted through the account portal or directly to the support team. Corrections are applied promptly upon verification.

Deletion of Personal Data

Users may request the deletion of their personal information where:

  • The data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected;
  • Consent has been withdrawn and no overriding legal basis for retention exists;
  • The data has been processed unlawfully.

Certain categories of data may be retained beyond a deletion request where required by law, including records necessary for AML compliance or dispute resolution.

Consent to Security and Payment Processing

By registering and using the platform, users acknowledge and consent to:

  • Identity and security verification checks conducted by Crowngreen or its authorized third-party verification partners;
  • The processing of payment information by licensed payment service providers for the purpose of completing financial transactions.

Protection of Children’s Privacy

Age Verification

Crowngreen cannot independently verify the age of every individual who accesses the platform without reviewing appropriate identification documents. Users are required to confirm their age during registration. Where age cannot be confirmed, account access may be suspended pending document review.

Discovery of a Minor’s Account

If it is discovered, or reported by a parent or legal guardian, that a person under the age of 18 has registered an account or submitted personal information, the following steps will be taken:

  • The account will be suspended immediately;
  • All personal data associated with the account will be deleted from active records as promptly as technically feasible;
  • Any funds deposited may be subject to reversal in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

The platform is intended exclusively for users who are 18 years of age or older. Access to the services is restricted to adults, consistent with Canadian provincial gambling regulations.

Parents or guardians who believe a minor has registered on the platform are encouraged to contact the support team without delay.

Crowngreen requires all third-party partners who receive personal data to maintain confidentiality obligations and implement appropriate data protection measures. Data sharing agreements are established with partners to ensure that transferred information is handled in a manner consistent with this policy and applicable law.
