Welcome to Maximus Multiplus! This Privacy Policy explains how Colosseum Gaming Ltd. ("we", "us", "our"), the official provider of the Maximus Multiplus slot game, collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal data when you visit our website at maximus-multiplus.uk.
We understand that you are entrusting us with your personal and financial information, especially on a site related to online gambling. We take this responsibility very seriously.

2. WHAT DATA WE COLLECT
When you interact with Maximus Multiplus, we may collect various types of personal data about you. The specific data collected depends on how you use our site. We limit data collection to what is necessary for our stated purposes.
- Identity and Contact Data: If you register an account on an affiliated casino site through our links, or contact us directly, this might include your first name, last name, date of birth, address, email address, telephone number, and nationality. This data is primarily handled by the casino operator, but we may process it if you contact us directly.
- Financial Data: While we do not directly process payments or hold your financial account details, if you access casino services through our site, any financial transactions (deposits, withdrawals, bet amounts) will be handled by the respective casino operator.

4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR DATA
We will only share your personal data with third parties when it is necessary for our operations, legally required, or with your explicit consent. We require all third parties to respect the security of your personal data and to treat it in accordance with the law.
- M Studios (Game Developer): As the developer of 'Maximus Multiplus', M Studios may receive aggregated and anonymised gameplay data to further develop and improve their games.
- Licensed Casino Operators: If you click on an affiliate link and register with a casino, your data will be collected and processed by that casino operator according to their own privacy policy. We do not share your personal data directly with these operators unless you have specifically authorised us to do so.
- Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party service providers who perform functions on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics (e.g., Yandex.Metrica), IT support, and customer service. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for the purposes we specify.
- Regulators and Law Enforcement: We may disclose your data if legally required to do so by the UK Gambling Commission, law enforcement agencies, or other governmental authorities.

5. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS (YANDEX.METRICA SPECIFICS)
To provide our website analytics, we utilise Yandex.Metrica, a service provided by Yandex LLC, which involves the transfer of data to servers located in Russia.
Important Notice Regarding Data Transfers to Russia
The UK government does not currently recognise Russia as providing an adequate level of data protection under UK GDPR. This means that the data protection laws in Russia may not offer the same level of protection as those in the UK.
Our Safeguards:
- Pseudonymisation/Anonymisation: We configure Yandex.Metrica to collect data in a pseudonymised or anonymised form wherever possible, meaning direct identification of individuals is minimised.
- Contractual Clauses: While Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are typically used for transfers to non-adequate countries, their enforceability in Russia can be complex. We strive to implement appropriate contractual safeguards where feasible and rely on the anonymised nature of the data collected by Yandex.Metrica to mitigate risks.
- Purpose Limitation: Data transferred is strictly for website analytics, such as understanding user engagement with 'Maximus Multiplus' features and identifying popular sections of the site. It is not used for personal identification or targeting.
- Transparency: We are providing this explicit disclosure to ensure you are fully informed about this data transfer.
By continuing to use our website and accepting our cookies (which includes analytics cookies), you acknowledge and agree to this international transfer of pseudonymised data to Russia for analytics purposes. If you do not agree, you can adjust your cookie settings via our cookie consent banner or refrain from using our website.
6. DATA SECURITY
We are committed to protecting your personal data. We implement robust technical and organisational security measures to prevent your data from being accidentally lost, used, accessed in an unauthorised way, altered, or disclosed. These measures include:
- Encryption: Using SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit to protect against interception.
- Access Controls: Limiting access to your personal data to employees, agents, contractors, and other third parties on a 'need-to-know' basis, subject to strict confidentiality agreements.
- Regular Audits: Performing regular security assessments and penetration testing.
- Data Minimisation: Collecting only the data necessary for our purposes.
- PCI DSS Compliance: While we don't directly handle payment card details, we ensure that any third-party payment processors linked from our site are PCI DSS compliant, protecting your financial transactions.
We have procedures in place to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
7. DATA RETENTION
We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
For example, data related to game fairness and regulatory compliance may be kept for longer periods as required by the UK Gambling Commission. Anonymised data, which can no longer identify you, may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.
