We do not share your personal information to third parties outside the Kindred Group for marketing purposes. However, there are circumstances when we share your personal data with other companies in the Kindred Group, with third parties that provide services to you on our behalf, and with other third parties in the course of complying with our legal obligations. Other examples of when we share your personal information include when we enter any kind of merger or business sale. Even when it is shared, we ensure that your personal information will only be used for the purposes outlined in this policy.With other companies within Kindred GroupWe may share the personal data we collect with other companies in the Kindred Group for the following purposes:

• providing you with products and services and notifying you about either important changes or developments to the features and operation of those products and services;
• responding to your enquiries and complaints;

With third partiesWe may share personal data with third parties in the following circumstances:

• providing you with products and services and notifying you about either important changes or developments to the features and operation of those products and services;
• when ordered to do so by any regulatory body and/or under any legal provision contained in the governing law;
• we may instruct and authorise the Financial Institution with which an Account Holder's account is held to disclose any information as may be requested by the Regulator in respect of an Account Holder's account;
• in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights;
• for fraud detection and control purposes, we may transfer your personal data to third parties, including but not limited to so-called Address Verification System service providers, Payment Service Providers and Financial Institutions. Furthermore, we reserve the right to disclose the Account Holder’s personal data to relevant parties where Kindred has reasonable grounds to suspect irregularities involving a Kindred Account;
• with service providers to enable us to provide our services, such as companies that help us with technology services, storing and combining data, and processing payments or providing relevant online advertising for our products and services;
• with external auditors who may carry out independent checks as part of our accreditations
• to an organisation we sell or transfer (or enter into negotiations to sell or transfer) any of our businesses or any of our rights or obligations under any agreement we may have with you to.

• to any other successors in title to our business.

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA"). It may also be processed by companies operating outside the EEA who work for us or for one of our service providers. For instance, the computer servers used to host a website could be located outside the EEA – this is not unusual given that the internet is a global environment. Your personal information could be held at a destination which offers a different level of data protection than in the EEA, including Australia, Serbia, India, US. To ensure your personal information remains safe when transferred like this, we will take all reasonable steps to maintain a suitable level of protection in line with this Policy. Any transfer of your personal information to a location outside the EEA will be based on:

• the contractual Model Clauses adopted by the European Commission or a relevant data protection authority; or
• an adequacy decision from the European Commission, confirming that the third country provides adequate protection for your personal information; or
• Privacy Shield when transferring to the US (this is a form of certification which ensures that your data is handled in a way that is compatible with the strong EU protections); or
• Your consent, or another legal basis on which we are entitled to make the transfer.

We will only retain your information for as long as is reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes outlined above and to satisfy our legal obligations. While you are a customer, we will usually need to retain your information to meet our legal and contractual requirements. However, when you cease using Kindred services, we will normally still retain your personal information for a period of time. Typically, we will store your personal information for a period of ten years after you cease being a customer of Kindred, beginning at the date your account is closed. There are several reasons which we retain your information, these include:

• To comply with legal obligations under EU/local laws (for example, anti-money laundering regulations, or licensing regulations);
• To establish or defend legal claims (for example negligence claims) which could be made against us.

We appreciate that by law and subject to certain conditions, you have a number of rights concerning the personal information we hold about you. If you wish to exercise these rights, you should contact our Data Protection Officer using the details set out above in Section 3. These rights include the right to access, amend and erase the personal information we hold about you, the right to object to the processing of your data, the right to withdraw consent, and the right to data portability.

This includes when:

• we process your information based on our legitimate interests and we cannot demonstrate overriding legitimate grounds to continue processing the information;
• we don’t have a lawful ground under data protection law to process your information;
• the data has to be erased to comply with a legal requirement;

This right is subject to mandatory retention periods under EU/local laws.Right to restrict processingYou have the right to ask us to restrict (‘block’ or ‘suppress’) the processing of your personal information. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but will not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be ‘blocked’ to make sure the restriction is respected in the future. This right is available to you when:

• you dispute the accuracy of the personal information (while we verify matters);
• the processing is unlawful, and you object to the erasure of the information and request that we restrict processing instead;
• we no longer need the data, but you require it to establish, exercise or defend a legal claim; and
• we process your information for our legitimate business interests but you object and while we verify the grounds for continued processing.

Right to Data PortabilityYou have the right to receive personal information you provide to us, in a ‘commonly used machine-readable format’. This allows you to obtain and reuse your information for your own purposes across different services. For example, if you decide to switch to a different provider, this enables you to move, copy or transfer your information easily between our IT systems and theirs safely and securely, without affecting its usability. This is not a general right however, and only arises when the processing of your information is:

• based on your consent or where it is necessary for the performance of a contract, and
• when the information is processed by solely by automated means

Right to objectBased on your particular situation, you can object to the processing of your personal information, that is:

• based on our legitimate business interests (including profiling); or
• done for research and statistical purposes

You also have the right to object to the use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes (including profiling), such as when you receive emails from us notifying you about other Kindred Group services which we think will be of interest to you.Right to withdraw consentWhen we rely on your consent as the basis to process your personal information – such as for sales and marketing communications (see section 5D) – you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. We’ll always strive to make it easy for you to withdraw consent by choosing an “unsubscribe” option in every communication you receive from us. If you find this isn’t the case, then just get in touch with our Data Protection Officer in the ways outlined above in Section 3, and we’ll try to fix things ASAP.Rights related to automated decision making, including profilingWe sometimes use systems to make automated decisions based on your personal information. This helps us to make sure our decisions are quick, fair, efficient and correct, based on what we know. These automated decisions can affect the products, services or features we may offer you now or in the future, or the ability to use our services. We may use automate decisions making in the following situations:

• tailoring products and services – we may pace you in groups with similar customers (segments) to study and learn about preferences and your needs, and offer more tailored experience for you;
• detecting fraud - we use your personal information to help decide and detect if your account may be being used for fraud or money-laundering. If we think there is a risk of fraud, we may block or suspend the account;
• opening account - when you open an account with us, we check that the product or service is relevant for you, based on what we know. We also check that you meet the conditions needed to open the account. This may include checking age, residency, nationality or financial position;
• risk assessment connected to your bet, as more particularly explained in section 5A.

Data protection law seeks to safeguard individuals against harm that may arise from decision-making - including profiling - that takes place without human intervention. You have the right not to be subject to a decision - including profiling - when it is based on the automated processing of your personal information and it has a legal effect or a similarly significant effect on you. Please note that the right does not apply when the processing is:

• necessary for entering into or for the performance of a contract with you; or
• when it is authorised by law; or
• when it is based on your explicit consent.
