Cookies and similar tracking technologies help us understand how you use our platform and enable us to personalise your experience.
How We Use Your Information
The information collected serves multiple essential functions within our operations. We use your personal data to create and manage your gaming account, verify your identity, and ensure compliance with age verification requirements mandated by UK gambling regulations. Your details enable us to process deposits, withdrawals, and other financial transactions securely. We analyse gameplay data to detect fraudulent activity, prevent money laundering, and maintain the integrity of our gaming platform. Marketing communications are sent to players who have opted in, providing updates about promotions, new features, and responsible gaming resources. Technical information helps us optimise game performance, troubleshoot issues, and enhance user experience across different devices. We utilise your data to fulfil our legal obligations, including reporting to the UK Gambling Commission and maintaining records for regulatory audits. Safe gaming initiatives rely on behavioural data to identify patterns that may indicate problem gambling, allowing us to intervene appropriately.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
Chicken Road shares your personal information with selected third parties under specific circumstances. Payment processors handle your financial transactions securely, operating under strict data protection standards. We work with identity verification services to confirm your age and identity in compliance with UK gambling laws. Gaming platform providers and technical service partners receive necessary data to maintain game functionality and server operations. Regulatory authorities, including the UK Gambling Commission, may access your information during compliance checks or investigations. We share data with fraud prevention agencies to protect both you and our platform from criminal activity. Marketing partners may receive anonymised data for analytical purposes, though they never access personally identifiable information without your explicit consent. In the event of a business transfer, merger, or acquisition, your data may be shared with the relevant parties, and you will be notified of any such changes. We require all third parties to maintain appropriate security measures and process your data only for specified purposes.

Under UK data protection legislation, you possess several rights regarding your personal information. You may request access to the data we hold about you, receiving a copy of your information in a commonly used format. The right to rectification allows you to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal details in your account.

The right to restrict processing enables you to limit how we use your data whilst maintaining your account. You may object to specific types of processing, including marketing communications and automated decision-making.
