Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Pinnacle, as operated for the Pinnacle project on pinnecler.com, collects, uses, discloses, and protects your personal data.

Who We Are

For the Pinnacle project, the online betting services available through pinnecler.com are provided under the Pinnacle brand by Impyrial Holdings Ltd (the "Company", "we", "us", "our"). Impyrial Holdings Ltd operates Pinnacle-branded services under, among others, Curacao licence number 8048/JAZ2013-013 and Malta Gaming Authority licence MGA/B2C/290/2015.

As a result, users in the United Kingdom do not benefit from UKGC protections, GamStop, or IBAS when using pinnecler.com.

Impyrial Holdings Ltd is the data controller for personal data processed in connection with pinnecler.com for Pinnacle. The Company is established outside the United Kingdom (including in Malta and Curacao), and its current registered office and contact details are published on its official sites, including pinnacle.com.

  • Postal address: marked "Data Protection Officer - Impyrial Holdings Ltd", to the registered office address as published from time to time on pinnacle.com

  • Protection of vital interests and public interest: In rare cases, we may process data to protect your vital interests or those of others, or where processing is necessary in the public interest under applicable laws.

Purpose of Processing

We OBSERVE the reasons for which your data is collected, EXPAND them into clearly defined processing purposes, and REFLECT them through specific operational controls.

  • Provision of services: To register and manage your account on pinnecler.com for Pinnacle, enable you to place bets and use gaming services, verify your identity and age, process payments, administer bonuses, and provide customer support.
  • Legal and regulatory compliance: To comply with KYC/AML requirements, licensing conditions in Curacao and Malta, responsible gambling rules, record-keeping duties, tax and financial regulations, and lawful requests from competent authorities in relevant jurisdictions.
  • Risk management and fraud prevention: To detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, money laundering, match-fixing, bonus abuse, and other prohibited conduct, including by monitoring betting patterns, device fingerprints, log-in behaviours, and transaction anomalies.
  • Service improvement and analytics: To analyse how users interact with pinnecler.com, assess performance and stability, identify usability issues, and develop new features, products, and services, including through aggregated or pseudonymised data.

  • Dispute resolution and enforcement: To handle complaints, resolve disputes, enforce our terms and conditions, manage chargebacks, and defend or assert legal claims in any relevant jurisdiction.
  • Security and integrity: To secure our systems, prevent unauthorised access, conduct security audits, and ensure the technical and organisational integrity of pinnecler.com and related services.

Disclosure & Sharing

We OBSERVE the need to share personal data only where necessary, EXPAND sharing arrangements through appropriate contracts and safeguards, and REFLECT transparency by explaining with whom and why we share your information. We do not sell your personal data.

Service Providers and Technical Partners

  • Payment processors and banks: To process deposits, withdrawals, refunds, and chargebacks, we share relevant identification, transaction, and verification data with payment gateways, banks, and financial institutions.
  • IT and hosting providers: We use third-party hosting, cloud, and IT service providers to operate pinnecler.com, store data, manage backups, and provide technical support. These providers act as processors and are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations.
  • Security and anti-fraud tools: We may share limited data with providers of fraud detection, identity verification, risk scoring, and security solutions to protect the integrity of our services.

Corporate Group, Affiliates, and Partners

  • Group companies and affiliates: Where relevant, we may share data with entities within the wider Pinnacle corporate group (operating under Impyrial Holdings Ltd) for operational support, consolidated reporting, and internal controls, always in connection with pinnecler.com and Pinnacle.
  • Marketing and affiliate partners: With your consent where required, we may share limited data (such as pseudonymised identifiers or transaction indicators) with marketing networks, affiliate partners, and analytics providers that help us measure and improve the performance of campaigns relating to pinnecler.com.
  • Brokers and intermediaries: If you access our services via a broker or intermediary, that third party may be independently responsible for your data under its own licence (often also in Curacao). In such cases, relevant data may be exchanged between us and the broker for verification, risk management, and settlement purposes.

Authorities and Regulators

  • Regulatory and licensing bodies: We may disclose data to regulators and supervisory authorities in Curacao, Malta, or other relevant jurisdictions to comply with licence conditions, audits, investigations, or reporting duties.
  • Law enforcement and courts: Where required by law or necessary to protect our rights or the rights of others, we may share data with law enforcement agencies, courts, and legal advisers.

Business Transactions

  • Corporate restructuring: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of assets, relevant personal data may be transferred to the acquiring or successor entity, subject to appropriate safeguards and continued compliance with applicable data protection laws.

In all cases, we limit the data shared to what is strictly necessary, ensure that recipients are subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations, and maintain records of disclosures in line with our legal obligations.

International Transfers

Because Impyrial Holdings Ltd is established outside the United Kingdom and operates under licences in Curacao and Malta, your personal data may be processed and stored in countries that do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK. We OBSERVE these cross-border risks, EXPAND protective measures using legally recognised transfer tools, and REFLECT them in our contractual arrangements.

  • Transfers within the EEA and to Malta: Where data is transferred between the UK and the European Economic Area (EEA), including Malta, we rely on relevant adequacy regulations or UK-approved safeguards to ensure an equivalent level of protection.
  • Transfers to Curacao and other third countries: When personal data is transferred to Curacao or any other country that is not subject to an adequacy regulation, we implement appropriate safeguards such as:
    • UK-approved or EU standard contractual clauses (SCCs) supplemented where necessary by additional technical and organisational measures,
    • strict access controls and encryption of data in transit and at rest, and
    • detailed data processing agreements with our service providers and partners.
  • Access from other jurisdictions: Our staff, group companies, and service providers may access data from different locations worldwide, strictly on a need-to-know basis and subject to contractual and organisational safeguards.
  • Information for UK data subjects: You may request further details of the safeguards we use for international transfers (including copies of standard contractual clauses) by contacting us using the details in the "Complaints & Contacts" section, subject to redactions for commercial or security reasons.

Data Retention

We OBSERVE the retention requirements imposed by law and our operational needs, EXPAND them into concrete retention schedules for different data categories, and REFLECT them by securely deleting or anonymising data when no longer required. We retain personal data for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

  • Account and identification data: Core account data, identity verification records, and KYC/AML documentation are typically retained for the duration of your relationship with us and for up to five (5) to seven (7) years after account closure or your last transaction, as required by applicable anti-money laundering and regulatory rules in relevant jurisdictions (including Curacao and Malta).
  • Betting, gaming, and transaction data: Betting history, transaction records, and related logs are generally retained for up to seven (7) years after the transaction or account closure, to comply with financial, regulatory, and dispute-resolution requirements.
  • Technical and security logs: Security logs, device identifiers, and access logs are retained for shorter periods where possible (for example, from several months up to two (2) years), unless a longer retention is necessary for security investigations or legal proceedings.
  • Marketing and communication data: Records of marketing preferences and communications are retained during the period in which you have not withdrawn consent or objected, and for a limited period thereafter to demonstrate compliance with your choices.
  • Complaint and dispute records: Complaints, support tickets, and dispute files are usually retained for up to seven (7) years after closure of the case, or longer where necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

When data is no longer required for the purposes described above, we will either securely delete it or irreversibly anonymise it so that it no longer constitutes personal data. Where deletion is not possible in the short term due to technical or operational constraints, we will isolate and securely store the data until deletion is feasible.

Your Rights

We OBSERVE your rights as a data subject, EXPAND them into concrete procedures, and REFLECT them in how we respond to your requests. If you are located in the UK, your rights arise primarily under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Where relevant, similar rights are recognised under Mexican privacy law, including the Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP).

Data Protection Rights

  • Right of access: You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, if so, to request a copy of your data and additional information about our processing.
  • Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. In many cases, you can update certain details directly in your account on pinnecler.com.
  • Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where, for example, the data is no longer necessary, you have withdrawn consent, or you validly object to processing. This right is subject to legal retention obligations (for example, KYC/AML requirements).
  • Right to restriction: You may request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as while we verify its accuracy or assess an objection.
  • Right to object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling, on grounds relating to your particular situation. You always have the right to object to direct marketing, including profiling related to such marketing.
  • Right to data portability: Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and have it transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.
  • Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent (for example, for certain marketing communications or cookies), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Mexican Privacy Law Alignment

For users whose data may be subject to Mexican privacy law, similar rights typically recognised include access, rectification, cancellation, and opposition (ARCO rights). We aim to align our procedures so that you can exercise these rights in a manner consistent with both UK GDPR and applicable Mexican data protection requirements.

How to Exercise Your Rights

  • Submission of requests: You may exercise your rights by contacting us using the details provided in the "Complaints & Contacts" section, clearly indicating your identity, the right you wish to exercise, and, where applicable, the data or processing activities concerned.
  • Verification: To protect your privacy, we may need to request additional information to verify your identity before acting on your request.
  • Response time: We will respond to your request without undue delay and in any event within one (1) month of receipt. This period may be extended by up to two (2) further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests. If we extend the period, we will inform you of the reasons.
  • Fees: Requests are generally handled free of charge. However, where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request, in accordance with the law.
  • Limitations: Certain rights may be limited, for example where processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations, for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, or for reasons of important public interest.

Data Security

We OBSERVE the sensitivity of the data we handle, EXPAND our security programme to address evolving threats, and REFLECT these measures in concrete technical and organisational controls. While no system can be completely secure, we implement security safeguards designed to protect your data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access.

  • Encryption: We use industry-standard transport layer security (TLS 1.2 or higher) to protect data in transit between your device and our servers. Where appropriate, we apply strong encryption to data at rest, including financial and authentication information.

  • Staff training: Employees and contractors who handle personal data receive training on data protection, security, and confidentiality obligations, and are subject to disciplinary measures for non-compliance.
  • Incident response: We maintain incident response procedures to identify, assess, and respond to suspected data breaches. Where required by law, we will notify relevant supervisory authorities and affected individuals without undue delay.
