Legal Basis for Processing
OBSERVE: While Ice Casino targets Canadian players, we operate within an international regulatory and corporate environment and apply GDPR-aligned legal bases, along with Canadian privacy expectations.
EXPAND: We explain each primary legal ground and map it to typical processing activities such as account operation, AML/KYC, fraud prevention, and marketing.

- Record-keeping of transactions and verification documents for legally mandated periods.
- Responding to lawful requests from courts, regulators, and law enforcement agencies.
- Regional compliance note: For Canadian players, we apply comparable standards to those required by Canadian privacy laws (e.g., PIPEDA principles) even though we operate as an offshore entity.

Purpose of Processing
OBSERVE: Each category of data is tied to one or more purposes.
EXPAND: We specify and delimit the purposes to satisfy transparency and purpose-limitation principles.

Disclosure & Sharing
OBSERVE: Operation of Ice Casino relies on several third-party providers and regulatory interfaces.
EXPAND: We identify categories of recipients and conditions for disclosure, including cross-border aspects and advertising networks.
REFLECT: This allows users to understand when their information leaves our direct control and under what safeguards.
Group Companies and Operational Partners
- Group entities: Brivio Limited and Invicta Networks N.V., as well as other entities within the same corporate group or platform infrastructure (e.g., sister brands such as Vulkan Vegas) where data sharing is strictly limited to necessary operational, risk, and compliance purposes.
- Payment service providers: Banks, card schemes, e-wallet providers, and other payment processors who handle deposits and withdrawals. We share only the information required to execute the transaction, verify your identity, and prevent fraud.
Service Providers (Processors)
- IT hosting providers, cloud infrastructure services, and content delivery networks.
- Customer support tools (e.g., live chat platforms, ticketing systems).
- Analytics providers, business intelligence tools, and anti-fraud / risk management platforms.
- Identity verification, KYC, and AML screening providers.
These service providers process personal information on our behalf and under our instructions, subject to contractual obligations of confidentiality, data security, and limited purpose use.
Regulators, Authorities, and Dispute Bodies
- Gambling regulators, including Antillephone N.V. in Curaçao, and other competent authorities, where required by licence conditions or applicable law.
- Law enforcement agencies, courts, and governmental bodies where disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
- Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) bodies or similar entities, which may include [email protected], when you escalate a complaint and data disclosure is needed to handle the dispute.
Marketing and Affiliate Partners
- Affiliate partners and marketing networks that refer players to Ice Casino. We may share limited data necessary for attribution, fraud prevention, and commission calculations, typically in pseudonymized or aggregated form.
- Advertising and retargeting networks, where allowed by applicable law and subject to your consent for advertising cookies and similar technologies.
Business Transfers
- In the event of a merger, acquisition, corporate restructuring, or sale of assets, your personal information may be transferred to the relevant third parties as part of the transaction, subject to confidentiality obligations and, where required, further safeguards or notifications.
No Sale of Personal Information
We do not "sell" your personal information for monetary consideration as that term is typically understood in modern data protection frameworks. Any disclosures to third parties are limited to the purposes described in this Policy.
International Transfers
OBSERVE: Data of Canadian players is processed and stored using an infrastructure involving Cyprus, Curaçao, and other locations.
EXPAND: We clarify destinations, typical safeguards, and contractual arrangements, adopting GDPR-aligned concepts such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), even though our primary users are Canadian.
REFLECT: This supports informed decision-making about cross-border risks and protections.
Locations of Processing
- Your personal information may be processed and stored in:
- The Republic of Cyprus (corporate management, payments, customer support, risk management).
- Curaçao (licence compliance, certain operational and regulatory functions).
- Other countries within the European Economic Area (EEA) where our service providers are located.
- In limited cases, other jurisdictions (e.g., cloud hosting regions) where our technical infrastructure or specific vendors operate.
Safeguards for International Transfers
- We use appropriate safeguards for data transfers, which may include:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or equivalent contractual protections.
- Contractual data protection obligations requiring service providers to apply adequate security and confidentiality measures.
- Technical safeguards such as encryption, access control, and pseudonymization to reduce risks associated with cross-border transfers.
- Where local laws in a destination country may offer a lower level of protection, we strive to ensure that processing remains consistent with the principles of this Policy and applicable privacy standards.
Data Retention
OBSERVE: Gambling operators must retain certain records for regulatory and AML purposes, while not keeping data longer than necessary for other uses.
EXPAND: We describe typical retention periods by category and specify criteria for deletion, anonymization, or archiving.
REFLECT: This balances regulatory requirements with data minimization and storage limitation principles.
General Retention Principles
- We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, including:
- Operating your account and providing services.
- Complying with legal and regulatory obligations.
- Resolving disputes and enforcing our agreements.
- Where possible, we anonymize or aggregate data so that it no longer identifies you personally, and retain such data for longer periods for analytics and reporting.
Indicative Retention Periods
- Account and identification data: Generally retained for the period of your active account and for up to 5 - 7 years after account closure, in line with typical AML and gambling regulatory requirements applicable to our licence.
- Transaction and payment data: Retained for at least 5 - 7 years from the date of the relevant transaction, to comply with financial and AML record-keeping obligations.
- Customer support and complaint records: Retained for the lifetime of the account and typically for up to 5 years after closure, or longer if necessary in connection with disputes or regulatory investigations.
- Marketing data: Retained for as long as you remain subscribed to marketing communications, and for a limited period (usually up to 2 years) after you unsubscribe, solely to document your preferences and demonstrate compliance.
- Technical logs and security data: Retained for a period appropriate to security and operational needs, generally between 6 months and 5 years, depending on the type of log and associated risks.
Deletion and Anonymization
- When personal information is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected and there is no legal obligation requiring retention, we will:
- Securely delete it, or
- Irreversibly anonymize it so that you are no longer identifiable.
- We may retain minimal information (e.g., identifiers, contact details, and notes) to honour self-exclusion, block re-registration in cases of fraud or abuse, or maintain suppression lists for marketing opt-outs.
Your Rights
OBSERVE: Players should be able to understand and exercise rights over their personal information.
EXPAND: Although Canadian players are primarily governed by Canadian laws (such as PIPEDA concepts) and our offshore regulatory framework, we adopt a rights model broadly aligned with GDPR standards. The prompt also references Mexican law; we therefore align with modern international standards of transparency, access, and control without asserting direct application of Mexican regulations.
REFLECT: This section sets out practical procedures, deadlines, and limitations, ensuring transparency and realistic expectations.
Overview of Available Rights
- Right of access: You can request confirmation whether we process your personal information and obtain a copy of your data, along with information about how we process it.
- Right to rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): You can request deletion of your personal information where:
- It is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, or
- You have withdrawn consent (where processing was based on consent), or
- You have successfully objected to processing and there is no overriding legitimate ground.
We may not be able to delete certain data where we must retain it for legal, regulatory, or contractual reasons, especially in relation to AML, gambling regulations, or dispute handling.
- Right to restriction of processing: You can request that we limit processing of your data (other than storage) when:
- Its accuracy is contested, for the period necessary to verify it.
- Processing is unlawful and you prefer restriction instead of deletion.
- We no longer need the data, but you require it for legal claims.
- Right to object: You may object at any time to:
- Processing based on our legitimate interests, on grounds relating to your particular situation.
- Processing for direct marketing, in which case we will stop such processing immediately.
- Right to data portability: In certain circumstances, you can request that we provide you with personal information you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and request that we transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing communications, non-essential cookies), you may withdraw consent at any time through your account settings or by using the opt-out links in communications.
How to Exercise Your Rights
- Submit your request: You may submit a request by:
- Sending an e-mail to [email protected], or
- Using the "Contact" or live chat function on https://ice-ca.com, or
- Writing to: Data Protection Officer, Brivio Limited, Office 102, 12A Lekorpouzier, Limassol, Cyprus.
- Provide necessary information: For security and fraud prevention, we may ask you to confirm certain account details or provide identification to verify your identity before acting on your request.
- Response times: We aim to respond to all valid requests within 30 days of receipt. If your request is complex or numerous, we may extend this period by a further 30 days, in which case we will inform you of the extension and reasons.
- Fees: We generally handle your requests free of charge. However, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive, in line with international best practices.
Limitations and Jurisdictional Considerations
- Your rights may be subject to limitations where:
- We must retain data to comply with AML or gambling regulations.
- Disclosure would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other individuals.
- Requests conflict with legal privilege or ongoing investigations.
- For Canadian players, we also align with core principles similar to those in Canadian federal privacy legislation (e.g., openness, access, accuracy, and safeguards), while operating under the laws applicable to our jurisdictions of establishment and licensing.
- Where Mexican or EU data protection concepts are relevant (for example, where our processing infrastructure is located in the EU), we adopt comparable standards, but this does not imply that Mexican or EU law directly governs all aspects of your relationship with us.

EXPAND: We distinguish types and purposes, and offer practical management options, consistent with international best practices.
REFLECT: This supports informed choices about tracking while preserving essential site operations.

Data Security
OBSERVE: Online gambling involves sensitive financial and identity information that must be protected against various threats.

REFLECT: This provides assurance that we treat information security as a core obligation.

We endeavour to align our security practices with recognised international standards such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2 principles, although we may not hold formal certification in every area.
Incident Response
- We maintain procedures to detect, assess, and respond to suspected personal data breaches or security incidents.
- Where required by applicable laws, we will notify relevant authorities and affected individuals without undue delay, describing the nature of the breach, likely consequences, and measures taken or proposed to mitigate its effects.
Complaints & Contacts
OBSERVE: Users need clear channels to raise concerns or complaints about privacy and data use.
