This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites, services, providers, or applications that have separate privacy policies and that do not directly reference or incorporate this Privacy Policy, even if such third-party platforms are available or accessible our Services.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using and/or accessing the Services. Your use of the Services is subject to this Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into our <<Terms of Use>> (the “Terms”). The Terms also apply when you access or use the Services. By using any of our Services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy. If any term in this Privacy Policy is unacceptable to you, please do not use the Services or provide any personal information.
When you interact with our Services, we collect information about you, which includes personal information. The term “personal information” means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to you, or the term may be defined under applicable privacy or data protection laws. We collect personal information:

Depending on your device’s operating system, we automatically collect the following categories of personal information:
Depending on how you interact with the Services, we collect personal information about you from third-party sources, including:
We may combine the personal information we receive from and about you, including information you provide to us and information we automatically collect through our Services, as well as information collected from other sources to, for example, provide you with a better user experience, to improve the quality and value of the Services, and to analyze how the Services are used.
When you use our Services, we and our third-party partners collect information about you and your electronic device(s) through cookies and similar technologies:
We use our own as well as third party analytic technologies, which are integrated into our Services, to gather information about how you use our Services. These analytics technologies help us, for example, to measure and analyze events within our Services, improve your user experience, monitor the success of marketing campaigns, or to prevent mobile advertising fraud.
Some of the functions within the Services are provided, developed, or hosted by third parties that are not affiliated with the Company. These entities may process information automatically as you use the Services. These third parties include:
The information these third parties collect may include personal information as well as information about your online activities over time and across different websites, applications, and other online services websites that are not affiliated with us. They may use this information to provide you with interest-based (e.g., behavioral) advertising or other targeted content.
We may use the personal information about you for the following purposes:
We also may use anonymous and/or aggregate personal information for commercial, marketing, and/or business purposes, such as reporting and conducting research and development in order to enhance our existing Services and/or develop new products and Services. Anonymous or aggregated information does not identify you, and we may use or disclose such information in a number of ways, including research, internal analysis, analytics, and any other legally permissible manners. We may share this information internally and/or with third parties for our or their purposes in an anonymous or aggregated form that is designed to prevent anyone from identifying you. For clarity, we also share and disclose non-anonymized and non-aggregated personal information in accordance with Section 4 (“Disclosure of Your Personal Information”) below.
We may share your personal information with any member of our corporate group, which means our subsidiaries, our ultimate holding company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, and affiliates (including our owned, operated, and managed casinos, online, mobile and web based businesses, and other corporate entities or affiliates). Doing so allows us to provide the products and services you have requested and quickly respond to applications for credit or other financial services. We may also disclose your Personal Information to our affiliates if you participate in our “self-exclusion” programs.
We also may share your personal information (from each category identified above) with selected third parties, including:
The security of your personal information is important to us. The Company maintains commercially reasonable security safeguards that are designed to protect the personal information we collect against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Despite the steps we take to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee or warrant the security or integrity of your information and shall not be liable for breaches of security or integrity, third-party interception in transit, or any damage caused to your computer or other property by visiting our Services. If you have any questions about the security of our Services, you can contact us using the communication methods identified in Section 20 (“Contact Details”), below.
You have certain choices regarding your personal information, including:
We do not control third parties' collection or use of your information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your information collected or used in this way. Some of these third parties may participate in the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising, which you can learn more about by visiting their website detailing choices for mobile applications. Some of these third parties also may be members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”), and you can learn about your opt-out options from members by visiting NAI’s website.
The Website may contain links to other websites, products, advertisements, or services. The fact that the Website inks to a website or presents a banner ad or other type of advertisement does not mean that we endorse or authorize that third party, nor is it a representation of our affiliation with that third party. This Privacy Policy does not cover any collection or use of information that third party websites may collect from you, or the practices used by third parties to collect such information, and third party websites should have separate and independent privacy policies and terms of use for the purpose of collecting personal information about you. We are in no way responsible for the privacy policies or the content of these other websites that you choose to access from the Website. Please be sure to read the privacy policies of those websites when exiting the Website. If you decide to use, click on, access, or provide any personal information to a third-party website, you acknowledge that you are doing so at your own risk.
In the event that as part of a promotion, we offer the award of a financial payment based on your use of the Services, we may process the payments through a third-party website, including, but not limited to, third-party payment processors. The third-party website may collect certain financial information from you in order to process a payment, including your name, email address, address and other financial information. In order to delete your financial information, you may need to do so with the third party, as we only have minimal secure access to those records as needed to provide the Services.

If you are a user accessing the Services from the European Union, Asia, or other region with laws or regulations governing personal data collection, use, and disclosure that differ from the United States laws, please be advised that you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with U.S. federal, state, and local laws. Through your continued use of the Website or Services, which are governed by U.S. law, this Privacy Policy, and our Terms, you are transferring your personal information to the United States and you consent to that transfer.

If you are a resident of California, the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and “Shine the Light” laws provide you with additional rights regarding your personal information.
Under the CCPA, eligible California residents have the following rights, which can be exercised directly or in certain cases, through an authorized agent (as discussed below in the “How to Exercise Your CCPA Rights” subsection):
To exercise the rights described above, please submit a request to us by:
Before we can process your request, we must be able to verify your identity as the owner of the account and/or personal information you are inquiring about. We will not be able to fulfill your request until we can do so. In general, we verify your identity by confirming that you are the owner of the e-mail address associated with the account, but the data we request from you during the verification process will depend on the nature of your request (e.g., whether you are seeking access to specific pieces of personal information or requesting deletion of personal information).
PLEASE PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING WHEN MAKING YOUR REQUEST:
When we receive your request, we also may contact you via e-mail, telephone, and/or other secured communication channels to verify your identity. Where you request access to the specific pieces of personal information we hold about you or deletion of your personal information, we may ask you to sign a declaration under penalty of perjury that you are the user whose personal information is the subject of the request.
In order to designate someone to act on your behalf (i.e., an authorized agent), we must verify your identity and your agent’s identity. We also collect proof that your agent is authorized to make a request on your behalf through a signed written authorization and proof that the agent has power of attorney or is otherwise registered with the California Secretary of State. Absent such documentation, we reserve the right to refuse to comply with third-party requests for information.
We aim to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. When additional time is needed, we may take up to an additional forty-five (45) days (for a maximum total of 90 days) to comply with the request, and we will inform you of the reason(s) why the extension is necessary within the first forty-five (45) days of receiving your request.
In the twelve months preceding the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we may have sold—as this term is defined under the CCPA—certain categories of your personal information to third parties.
We may have sold or disclosed for valuable consideration certain categories of your personal information to our corporate affiliates (e.g., Bally’s corporate entities) and to select third-party business partners (e.g., our third-party promotional partners, entities that refer you to our Services, and other business partners). The categories of personal information we disclose to these third parties may include your personal identifiers, user account information, information regarding the products or Services purchased, obtained, or considered, internet usage information, and other information you provide when you interact with the Services.

To the extent that the term “sale” under the CCPA is interpreted to cover such advertising and analytics practices, you may request to opt out by following the instructions identified in the “How to Exercise Your CCPA Rights” subsection above. You also may adjust your device or browser’s settings to limit how your internet usage data and device data is shared with third parties. Please refer to the “Your Choices” section for references to some tools for adjusting your preferences.
