Push Gaming is required to comply with legal obligations under AML regulations which includes verifying professional qualifications, vetting and screening of employees, workers and contractors. 

As appropriate, to comply with such obligations, and subject to applicable local laws, we conduct so called background checks on all workers and employees using third-party provider services which include information about imposed sanctions, PEP status, pending insolvency, law enforcement actions, or adverse media and similar.

Depending on the role you have applied for, we also collect copies of criminal records (for key personnel only - such as but not limited to roles within the departments of Legal & Compliance, Finance, Technology, Information Security etc., or higher managerial roles). Candidates applying for an employment position based in the UK, are referred to the Ex-Offenders Policy for further details.

If you fail to provide the information or documents when requested, which is necessary for us to consider your application, we will not be able to process your application successfully and/or offer you the job. For example, if we require the completion of a background check for this role and you fail to provide us with the relevant details or documents, we will not be able to take your application further or confirm your appointment.

6. How Do We Protect Personal data?
We are committed to keeping the personal data provided to us secure and we have implemented appropriate information security policies, rules and technical measures to protect the personal data that we have under our control from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification and unlawful destruction or accidental loss. We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected breach of personal data and will notify individuals and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

7. How long do we keep your personal data?
We may retain your personal data as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, and beyond such time as necessary to defend us in the context of legal claims, or for compliance and legal protection purposes.  

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. 

When we no longer require the personal data, we have collected about you, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible. If we fully anonymize your personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you), we may use this information indefinitely.

8. Your Privacy Rights

  • Right of access: you can ask us to provide you with information about our processing of your personal data and give you access to your personal data;
  • Right to rectification: if the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you are entitled to request to have it rectified;
  • Right to erasure: you can ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no lawful reason for us continuing to store or process it, where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons that will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request;
  • Right to restrict processing: you can ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data if, (i) you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (ii) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (iii) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (iv) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it; 
  • Right to object: where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation that makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms; 
  • Right to data portability: you have the right, in certain circumstances, to ask us to provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information for which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you; and 
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time: where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. 

Please note that some of these rights may be limited where we have an overriding interest or legal obligation to continue to process the personal data or where certain exemptions apply. 

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided below.

Although we urge you to contact us first to find a solution for every concern you may have, you always have the right to lodge a complaint with your competent data protection authority.

9.  International Data Transfers

We may transfer your personal data to recipients based outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and/or United Kingdom (“UK”). Some of these recipients are located in countries in respect of which either the European Commission and/or UK Government (as and where applicable) has issued adequacy decisions, in which case, the recipient’s country is recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection under UK and/or European data protection laws (as applicable) and the transfer is therefore permitted.

Some recipients of your personal data may be located in countries outside the EEA and/or the UK for which the European Commission or UK Government (as and where applicable) has not issued adequacy decisions in respect of the level of data protection in such countries (“Restricted Countries”). For example, the United States is a Restricted Country. Should we transfer your personal data to a recipient in a Restricted Country, we will either:

  • enter into appropriate data transfer agreements based on so-called Standard Contractual Clauses approved from time-to-time by the European Commission, the UK Information Commissioner’s Office or UK Government (as and where applicable); or
  • rely on other appropriate means permitted by the EU/UK GDPR, which establish that such recipients will provide an adequate level of data protection and that appropriate technical and organisational security measures are in place to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss or alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, and against all other unlawful forms of processing.

You may ask for a copy of such appropriate data transfer agreements, if applicable.
