We also gather technical information such as IP address, device type, browser information, and gameplay data including session duration, bet amounts, winnings, and game preferences.
The collected information serves multiple purposes essential to our operations. We use your data to create and manage your account, process deposits and withdrawals, verify your age and identity as required by gambling regulations, deliver personalised gaming experience, communicate important updates about the service, comply with anti-money laundering requirements, and fulfil our legal obligations under Irish and EU gambling legislation. All data processing activities are conducted in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant Irish data protection laws.

Data Security and Retention
We implement robust security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Joker Stoker employs industry-standard encryption protocols for data transmission, secure socket layer (SSL) technology for all financial transactions, regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, restricted access controls limiting employee access to personal data, and secure servers located in facilities with appropriate physical security measures.
Your personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy. Account information and transaction records are maintained for a minimum period as required by Irish gambling regulations and tax legislation, typically seven years from account closure or last transaction. Gameplay data and marketing preferences are retained whilst your account remains active and for up to two years following account closure. You may request earlier deletion of certain data types, subject to our legal retention obligations.
We regularly review stored data to ensure compliance with our retention schedules and securely delete or anonymise information that is no longer required. In cases where we must retain data for legal or regulatory purposes, access to such information is strictly limited and protected with enhanced security measures.
Third-Party Sharing and Transfers
Joker Stoker does not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your data with carefully selected partners and service providers who assist in delivering our services. These include payment processors who handle deposits and withdrawals, age verification services that confirm player eligibility, customer support platforms, hosting and IT infrastructure providers, and regulatory bodies or law enforcement agencies when legally required.
All third-party processors are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and must comply with GDPR requirements. We ensure that any data transfers outside the European Economic Area are protected by appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission or transfers to countries with adequacy decisions.
| Third-Party Category | Data Shared | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Payment processors | Name, financial details, transaction amounts | Secure payment handling |
| Identity verification providers | Name, date of birth, address, identification documents | Age and identity confirmation |
| Customer support systems | Contact details, communication history | Service assistance |

Your Rights and Controls
Under GDPR and Irish data protection law, you possess specific rights regarding your personal information. You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you and receive a copy in a commonly used electronic format. You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, request deletion of your data where we no longer have a legal basis to retain it, object to certain processing activities including direct marketing, restrict processing in specific circumstances, and withdraw consent where processing is based on your agreement.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission in Ireland if you believe we have processed your data inappropriately. However, we encourage you to contact us first so we may address your concerns directly.
