Privacy statement

Holland Casino is strongly committed to the protection of your privacy and the security of your personal data. We handle your personal data responsibly and will process your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter: "AVG").

We hereby wish to inform you of how we handle and secure your personal data. This privacy statement applies to the collection and processing of personal data of (potential) visitors to (the website of) Holland Casino.

When you visit an establishment or its website, order or purchase Holland Casino's products or services or when you contact Holland Casino, Holland Casino will collect personal data from you. The collection of your personal data is essential to enable us to offer you our services. We may also use your personal data to personalise and improve your experience with our services and/or products and to provide you with information from time to time.

Holland Casino does this in the manner and for the purposes described bel.

Holland Casino collects your personal data insofar as this is necessary for a predetermined purpose, such as:

• to facilitate your access to and stay at the establishments of Holland Casino; 

• to offer you Holland Casino's products and services;

• to conduct an effective security policy in the establishments of Holland Casino;

• to combat gambling addiction;

• to offer you the Holland Casino website;

• to send you (where you have given your consent) our general e-mail newsletter or to keep you informed of Holland Casino's general promotions and offers;

• to inform you (where you have given your permission) of specific Holland Casino products and services based on Holland Casino's known preferences;

• to comply with Holland Casino's legal obligations;

• to process your requests and enquiries and

• to invite you (where you have given your consent) to participate in surveys relating to Holland Casino;

• to contact you in response to your application;

• to process your requests and questions about the application procedure.

The grounds for processing your personal data by Holland Casino are different depending on our purpose. The grounds used by us are (see below for an overview of the data):

1. a legal obligation;  

2. your consent; 

3. the performance of an agreement; 

4. a legitimate interest. 

For guests, the execution of an agreement concerns the Favorites loyalty programme or holding an Xperience Card, for which we have entered into a contract with you. We ask for your preferences and name, address, place of residence, date of birth and e-mail address. Based on your gaming behaviour, we identify potential guests for different segments within the loyalty programme Favorites.

Your consent mainly concerns the commercial e-mail messages and mail we send to you. You can easily withdraw this consent by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in the e-mail or by contacting our Customer Service (see "5. Commercial communication", below).

The legal obligation mainly concerns the Games of Chance Act (WoK) and the Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act (Wwft) (see "6. Prevention policy and incidents" below).

In other cases, the basis for processing personal data is legitimate interest. For example, we make trend analyses within different groups of people and identify (game) needs within our target group. We use this to improve our services to you. Invoking the legitimate interest requires balancing the legitimate interests of Holland Casino against your interests as a data subject.

Furthermore, only a limited number of employees have access to your personal data and Holland Casino has secured your personal data properly.

Holland Casino does not make significant decisions based on automated decision-making. This means that the way in which we draw up a profile has no legal consequences with a significant impact on you. We do not use special personal data for marketing purposes. Holland Casino does make marketing profiles of guests, as this is necessary to optimise our business operations, make you better offers and provide better service. Among other things, it is necessary to be able to assess whether a guest qualifies for a different or higher level in the loyalty programme Favorites. This involves automatic analysis of data from our own (CRM) systems to predict which persons are interested in certain products or services. 
We have set up our systems to fairly and accurately ensure the accuracy of personal data. The Privacy Officer has conducted a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) on our method of profiling. When processing your personal data, we apply the principles of privacy by design and privacy by default.

Managing User Interactions and Data Collection through Online Advertisements and/or Social Media

When you as a user interact with our online ads or our social media, for example by participating in our promotions, responding to posts or clicking on ads, we may collect information such as your profile name and other data you have made public. We sometimes ask for personal information in activities such as quizzes or polls, but we only use the information you share with us for this purpose through your social media profiles. Our activities on social media, including the posting of questions, articles and discussions, are in line with laws such as the AVG and laws and regulations for gambling. In the case of other actions on these platforms, the privacy statements of the relevant providers apply, which may differ from our privacy statement.

Secure Sharing and Optimisation of Data in Marketing and Social Media

Holland Casino may share the data we collect during your use of our platform with social media and marketing partners (such as Meta). The purpose of this data sharing is to improve our advertising strategies, evaluate the effectiveness of our campaigns and protect vulnerable groups from unwanted marketing activities.

This may mean that if you are (or have been) involved in an incident we register this in our incident register. This is our social responsibility and legal duty.

Holland Casino makes use of camera surveillance in its establishments to guarantee the safety of its guests and employees based on its legitimate interest. These images are automatically deleted after 4 weeks, unless there is an incident, in which case the term is extended under strict conditions.

When you contact us by telephone, this telephone conversation may be recorded. We record these telephone calls for the benefit of Holland Casino's corporate security. Only a limited number of employees of the Compliance Department have access to the images and recordings and these data are properly secured.

In the application process, Holland casino uses 'Equalture' neuroscience games, these neuroscience games are aimed at making the application process as fair as possible.

Before you take part in one of these neuroscience games, we will ask for your permission to process your data and to share it with Equalture. Our recruiters will treat your application personally and with care.
