1. Privacy notice for individuals
Under data protection law, individuals have a right to be informed about how we use any
personal data that we hold about them. We comply with this right by providing ‘privacy notices’
(sometimes called ‘fair processing notices’) to individuals where we are processing their personal data.

This privacy notice explains how we collect, store and use personal data about individuals.
We, at FireHawk Gaming are the ‘data controller’ for the purposes of data protection law.

Our legal basis for using this data
We only collect and use personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we process it where:

Less commonly, we may also process personal data in situations where:
• We have obtained consent to use it in a certain way
• We need to protect the individual’s vital interests (or someone else’s interests)

Where we have obtained consent to use personal data, this consent can be withdrawn at any time.
We will make this clear when we ask for consent, and explain how consent can be withdrawn.
Some of the reasons listed above for collecting and using personal data overlap, and there may be several grounds which justify our use of this data.
Collecting this information
While the majority of information we collect is mandatory, there is some information that can be provided voluntarily.
Whenever we seek to collect information from you, we make it clear whether providing it is
mandatory or optional. If it is mandatory, we will explain the possible consequences of not complying.
