Welcome to soicalboardfi Social Casino Spot (“soicalboardfi”, “we”, “our”, “us”). We run a free-to-play, entertainment-only gaming website aimed at players in Finland and the EEA. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, the legal bases we rely on under the GDPR, and the choices and rights available to you.

If you do not agree with this Policy, please discontinue use of our site.

Data collected automatically

• Usage & device data: IP address, device/browser type, language, approximate location (country/city), pages viewed, session duration, referrer/UTM.
• Cookies & similar tech: identifiers that help us keep you logged in (if accounts are offered), remember settings, measure performance, prevent abuse, and (where you consent) personalize ads/affiliate attribution. See Section 6 and our Cookie Policy for details.

No real-money play: Our games are for entertainment only. We do not process payment details for wagering or cash-outs.

3) Why we process your data (GDPR legal bases)

• Provide and improve the service (e.g., run the website, troubleshoot, measure performance) — Legitimate interests / Contract (if you create an account).

• Security & fraud prevention (e.g., abuse detection, rate limiting) — Legitimate interests / Legal obligation.
• Analytics and audience measurement — Consent (where required in the EEA).
• Personalized advertising / affiliate attribution — Consent (where required in the EEA).
• Comply with laws and enforce our terms — Legal obligation / Legitimate interests.

You can withdraw your consent at any time (see Section 7).

4) How we use and share data

We use your data to operate the site, answer support requests, maintain leaderboards (if offered), and understand how features are used.

We share data only with:

• Service providers (hosting, analytics, customer support tools, anti-abuse, content delivery) bound by confidentiality and data-processing agreements.
• Advertising & affiliate partners (when you consent) to measure ad performance or track commission on outbound links; we do not sell your personal data.
• Authorities or third parties when required by law or to protect our rights and users’ safety.
• Business transfers (e.g., merger or acquisition) where your data may be transferred under the same protections.

5) International transfers

Some providers may process data outside the EEA. Where this occurs, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses and supplementary measures) to protect your information.

6) Cookies and similar technologies

We use:

• Strictly necessary cookies (security, load balancing, basic site functions).
• Preference cookies (remember settings like language or sound).
• Performance/analytics cookies (aggregate stats to improve features) — requires consent in the EEA.
• Advertising/affiliate cookies (to show or measure ads and track commissions) — requires consent in the EEA.

You can manage consent via our cookie banner and your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect certain features.

7) Your rights (EEA/GDPR, including Finland)

You have the right to:

• Access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object to processing, and data portability.
• Withdraw consent at any time (this won’t affect prior lawful processing).

You have the right to lodge a complaint with Finland’s supervisory authority (Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman).

8) Data retention

• Support inquiries: typically kept up to 24 months after we close your request.
• Account data (if enabled): kept until you delete your account or after a prolonged inactivity period, then removed or anonymized.
• Analytics records: stored in aggregate or pseudonymized form per tool defaults and our needs.
• Server logs & security data: typically up to 12 months, unless needed longer for security or legal reasons.

We retain data only as long as necessary for the purposes described above or as required by law.

9) Security

We use technical and organizational measures such as HTTPS/TLS, access controls, and monitoring to protect your data. No system is 100% secure, but we work to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Our site is intended for adults (18+) and for entertainment only. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided data to us, contact us from our website.

11) Links and third-party services

Our site may link to third-party websites, plugins, games, or offers (including affiliate links). Their data practices are governed by their own policies; please review them. We are not responsible for external sites.

12) Affiliate disclosure

Some pages contain affiliate links. If you sign up or make a purchase through those links, we may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate tracking may use cookies or similar technology where you have provided consent.
