Terms & Conditions

PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy is applicable to any personal information, which is given to Pikum! by players and hosts via the Pikum! Website. This Policy is devised to help you feel more confident about the privacy and security of your personal details.

Data Collection

To deposit funds and place bets on Pikum!, you will be asked to enter player information. Such player information will only be used for the purposes as set out in this Privacy Policy.

By entering your player information, you accept that Pikum! may retain your information and that it may be held by Pikum! or any third party company which processes it on Pikum!s behalf.

Pikum! reserves the right to perform statistical analyses of player’s behaviour and characteristics in order to measure interest in, and use of, the various areas of the Pikum! site and, in addition, to inform advertisers of such information as well as the number of players that have been exposed to or who have clicked on their advertising banners. We will provide only non- personally identifiable aggregated data from these analyses to third parties.

You agree that (unless you request Pikum! to not do so by pressing the appropriate button on the registration page) you do not object to Pikum!, our associated companies, business partners or third parties contacting you for any of the above purposes whether by telephone, e-mail, fax or in writing. You confirm that you do not and will not consider any of the above as being a breach of your rights under the Telecommunications (Data Protection and Privacy) Regulations 1999.

If you choose to provide us with personal information, you expressly consent to us transferring that information to, and storing it on, servers located outside of the United Kingdom and/ or the European Union (“Other Territories”). As part of this process we may transfer your personal information to our holding and subsidiary companies, associated parties and service providers. The laws on holding personal data in Other Territories may be less stringent than the laws applicable to the United Kingdom and/ or the European Union, but we will transfer and store your information in a safe, confidential and secure environment.

Disclosure

We shall be entitled to sell or otherwise make available your information in order to send information about Pikum! and Pikum!s affiliates, associated companies and organisations, for the following purposes including but not limited to:

  • promotional and/or marketing material about products, services and offers;
  • market research or compliance;
  • transfers to third parties as required;
  • any requirements imposed by applicable law; and
  • AGCC (Alderney Gaming Control Commission which regulates the e-Gambling on behalf of the Alderney States) will have unrestricted access to all player’s personal details

We are not responsible for any actions or policies of any third parties who request your information and you should check the applicable privacy policy of such third parties.

You should assume that all use of the Pikum! website, and emails, instant messages and telephone calls between you and Pikum! will be recorded. These recordings will be the sole property of Pikum! and may be used as evidence in the event of any dispute or to improve customer services.

Cookies

You should be aware that information and data may be automatically collected through the use of Cookies. "Cookies" are small test files that store basic information that a website can use to recognise repeat site visits and as an example, re-call your username if this has been previously supplied. We may use this to observe behaviour and compile aggregate data in order to improve the websites, target advertising and assess general effectiveness of such advertising.

Cookies do not attach to your system and damage your files. If you do not want information collected through the use of Cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the Cookie feature. Note, however, that "personalised" services may be affected if the cookie option is disabled.

Security

Security is very important to Pikum! Secure Socket layer ("SSL") encryption technology is used for protection of information in transit for any sensitive transactions such as payments. Additional security procedures are in place to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your information.

We reserve the right, at any time, to modify, alter, or update this Privacy Policy.

Recording of Calls

In the interests of customer and staff protection and to assist us in resolving queries, many telephone calls to our Customer Service help lines are recorded on security tape and may be monitored.
