Neither us nor our partners will pass on or resell your location information to any third party except that they reserve the right to provide location information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or government agency request.

Tracking Technologies. As you navigate through and interact with our Services, we may use automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions and patterns.  This information may include details of your visits to our Sites and Betting Apps, including traffic data, location data, logs, and other communication data and the resources that you access and use on the Sites and Betting Apps; and information about your computer or mobile device and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system and browser type.  We may also use these technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across third-party websites or other online services.  The information we collect through these technologies may include Personal Information, or we may maintain it and associate it with Personal Information we collect in other ways or receive from third parties.  It helps us to improve our Services to deliver a better and more personalized service, including by enabling us to: estimate our audience size and usage patterns; store information about your preferences, allowing us to customize our Services according to your individual interests; speed up your searches; and recognize you when you return to our Services.  The technologies we use for this automatic data collection may include:

  • Log Data.

Like many websites, we also use “cookie” technology to collect additional website usage data and to improve our Services.  A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk or your mobile device’s internal storage.  A session cookie enables certain features of the Services and is deleted from your computer or mobile device when you disconnect from or leave the Service.  A persistent cookie remains after you close your browser and may be used by your browser on subsequent visits to the Services.  Persistent cookies can be removed by following your web browser help file directions.  Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies.  The Company may use both session cookies and persistent cookies to better understand how you interact with our Services, to monitor aggregate usage by our users and web traffic routing on the Services, and to improve our Services.

We may obtain information about you from our affiliates, affiliated casinos, resorts, and properties that are owned, operated, managed by or affiliated with other gaming licensees (collectively “Gaming Affiliates”) and from third parties, including our business partners.

Interactions with Third Party Services. Third party advertisers or ad network companies may sometimes deliver (or “serve”) advertisements, that may appear on our Sites, directly to users. These companies may automatically receive your IP address or other information about your wireless device or personal computer when serving advertisements. These third parties may also download cookies to your computer or use other technologies such as JavaScript and “web beacons” (also known as “1×1 gifs”), to measure the effectiveness of the advertisements served and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertiser or ad network to recognize your computer or wireless device each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of the ad and to personalize advertising content. These companies may compile information about the sites or services visited when seeing advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked. We do not access or have control of the cookies that these third party advertisers or ad networks may place. Likewise, third party advertisers and ad networks do not have access to your personal information stored with us unless you choose to share it with them. This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of tracking technologies or personal data by any such third party advertisers or ad networks. We encourage you to learn about the privacy practices of those third parties.

  1. Security

Non-gaming information and non-live gaming data collected by us through the Services is stored on secure servers located in the United States. Internet wagering data collected by us through the Services is stored on secure servers in various states as required by law. Our United States-based servers may not offer a level of privacy protection as great as that offered in other jurisdictions. We make no representation that the practices described in this Policy are compliant with laws outside of the United States.

Our servers are protected by firewalls and other industry standard security measures. These security measures are intended to protect our servers from unauthorized access. However, no security system is impenetrable, and these systems could become accessible in the event of a security breach. We have controls in place that are designed to detect potential data breaches, contain and minimize the loss of data, and conduct forensic investigations of a breach.

Our staff is required to take reasonable measures to ensure that unauthorized persons cannot view or access your personal information. Employees who violate our policies and procedures are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

We cannot enforce or control the security of the computers, electronic devices, or electronic communication method that you may use to send e-mails and submit information to us over the Internet. You are responsible for ensuring that the computers, electronic devices and electronic communication methods you use will provide adequate security for communicating with us. We are not responsible for the disclosure or interception of information that you send us before we receive it.

As a standard security practice, we will take reasonable steps which are generally recognized in the industry to ensure that the communication methods used to support the Services do not permit connection or communication by methods that have known security weaknesses or vulnerabilities. As such, if you experience trouble using the Services, it may be an indication that you need to upgrade to a newer version that supports more secure communication methods.

In situations where your Personal Information is collected by third parties under contract with us for performance of their contractual duties and other purposes, we require such third parties to exercise reasonable care to protect that information and restrict the use of your Personal Information to the purposes for which it was provided. When we share your Personal Information with Gaming Affiliates or third parties in accordance with this Policy, we require them to exercise reasonable care to protect such information and restrict the use of such information to the purposes for which it was provided to them.

  • Comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (Cal. Penal Code § 1546 et. seq.).
  • Engage in public or peer-reviewed scientific, historical or statistical research in the public interest that adheres to all other applicable ethics and privacy laws, when the information’s deletion may likely render impossible or seriously impair the research’s achievement, if you previously provided informed consent.

How to Exercise Your Rights.  To exercise the access, data portability and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by either:

  • Calling us at 855-474-0606; or
  • Emailing us at marketing@williamhill.us

Only you, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your Personal Information.  You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.

You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.  The verifiable consumer request must:

  • Provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected Personal Information or an authorized representative of that person.
  • Describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate and respond to it.

We cannot respond to your request to exercise your access, data portability and/or deletion rights if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the Personal Information relates to you.

Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.  However, we do consider requests made through your password-protected account sufficiently verified when the request relates to Personal Information associated with that specific account.

We will only use Personal Information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.

Response Timing and Format.  We attempt to respond to a verifiable consumer request within 45 days after we receive it.  If we require more time (up to 90 days), we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing within 45 days after we receive your initial request.

We will deliver our written response by mail or electronically, at your option.

Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period prior to the date we receive the verifiable consumer request.  The response we provide will also provide the reasons we cannot comply with a request, if applicable.  For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.

We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded.  If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.

Non-Discrimination.  We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA.  Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not:

  • Deny you goods or Services.
  • Charge you different prices or rates for goods or Services, including through granting discounts or other benefits, or imposing penalties.
  • Provide you a different level or quality of goods or Services.
  • Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or Services or a different level or quality of goods or Services.

However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates or quality levels.  Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your Personal Information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects.  Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt-in consent, which you may revoke at any time.
