Privacy and Data Protection Policy

Fantasy Footy League Ltd _Last updated: July 2026_

Fantasy Footy League Ltd operates a cash-prize fantasy football platform for players in the United Kingdom via our website and our iOS and Android mobile applications.

We are licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. We process your personal data in accordance with UK data protection laws, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Information We Collect and Why

We only collect information necessary to run your leagues, pay out your winnings, and meet our legal and regulatory duties as a licensed UK gambling provider.

Registration Data: When you sign up, we collect your name, UK address, date of birth, and email address. We use this to set up your account, confirm you are at least 18 years old, and contact you about your leagues.
Identity Verification (KYC): To comply with UK Gambling Commission regulations, we must verify your identity and age before you can deposit funds or gamble. If our automated systems cannot verify you using your registration details, we will ask you to upload a photo ID (such as a UK driving license or passport).
Payout Details: If you win a cash prize, we collect your bank details to transfer your winnings. We only use this information to process the payout; we do not store your bank details on our systems after the transfer is complete.
Payment Details: When you deposit entry fees, your payment card details go directly to our third-party payment acquirer. We do not collect or store your credit or debit card numbers.
Location Data: Because our UK Gambling Commission license only permits us to offer gambling services to players within the UK, we use your device's location to confirm you are physically located within the UK when using the platform.

2. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We only share your data with trusted partners who help us provide our services and remain compliant:

Identity Verification Providers: To verify your identity and age against UK databases to satisfy our regulatory requirements.
Payment Acquirers: To process your entry fee deposits securely.
Banking Partners: To send prize payouts directly to your UK bank account.
Regulators and Law Enforcement: Including the UK Gambling Commission (our regulator) or the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to meet our legal obligations and licensing conditions.

3. How Long We Keep Your Data

We hold data in line with strict retention schedules to meet UK financial and UK Gambling Commission regulations:

Transaction Data: We keep a record of all financial transactions for 5 years to satisfy gambling and anti-money laundering regulations.
Complaints Data: We keep records of all customer complaints and resolutions for 3 years as required by our licensing conditions.
Photo ID: Once we manually verify your identity, we securely delete your photo ID image immediately.
Account Data: We keep your active profile data for as long as you maintain your account with us.

4. App Permissions (iOS and Android)

Our mobile apps require specific permissions to function:

Location Services: You must enable location services so we can verify you are in the UK, satisfying our licensing rules.
Notifications: With your permission, we send push notifications about league deadlines, player injuries, and prize updates.

5. Your Rights Under UK Law

As a UK resident, you have specific rights under the UK GDPR:

Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
Erasure: You can ask us to delete your data, though we cannot delete records we are legally required to keep (like your 5-year transaction history or 3-year complaints history under gambling regulations).
Restriction and Objection: You can object to or restrict certain types of data processing.

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@fantasyfootyleague.co.uk. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
