Privacy Policy

Website Privacy Protection Statement
Version 2.0 — effective 17 August 2026. This version supersedes all previous versions.
(‘We’) UNIMAY LTD, Registration number: HE 458083, Registration address: A.G. Leventi, 5, THE LEVENTIS GALLERY TOWER, 13th floor, Flat/Office 1301, 1097, Nicosia, Cyprus, are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This policy sets out the basis on which we collect, store and process your personal data that you provide to us. We process your personal data on the legal bases set out in the section “Legal bases on which we process your data” below. Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time; where we rely on another legal basis, in particular the prevention of fraud and financial crime and the operation of our relationships with regulated payment service providers, withdrawal of consent does not affect that processing. Please read the following policy carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data and how we will treat it.
What information do we collect about you?
We may collect and process the following information about you:
Information that you provide by filling in forms on our site https://chessgambit.org (the ‘Site’), including your personal details, contact details, full name, address, phone, email and birthday date and other information you choose to provide to us when contacting us.
Your location according to your computer or mobile device (if such settings are enabled).
If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
Website usage information is also collected using cookies (see below under ‘Cookies’).
Transaction and account data: the games you have played, the stakes funded and the outcomes recorded, your winnings balance, payout requests, the payment card used (in masked form) and the records of any compliance alert raised in respect of your account.
Verification data collected under a compliance alert: where a compliance alert is raised under clause 3.3 of the Terms of Use, we may collect a copy of your passport or other government-issued identity document, evidence of your residential address, confirmation that the payment instrument used belongs to you and, where we consider it necessary, documentary evidence of the source of the funds you have staked. This data is collected only where a trigger applies and is not collected from all users as a matter of routine.
Legal bases on which we process your data
We process your personal data on the following bases:
Performance of a contract: to operate your account, match you with opponents, record the outcome of games, and process payout requests.
Our legitimate interests: to prevent fraud, collusion and misuse of the Service; to operate the compliance alerts and verification measures described in the Terms of Use; and to maintain our relationships with the regulated banks, acquirers and payment service providers through which payments are processed. We have assessed that these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.
Compliance with a legal obligation: where we are required by applicable law, by a court or by a competent authority to retain or disclose information.
Consent: for marketing communications and for non-essential cookies. You may withdraw this consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
How will we use the information about you?
We use the information we hold about you in the following ways:
To notify you of news, updates or announcements related to our business which we believe may be of interest to you.
To help us improve the structure, layout and usability of the Site, and to help personalise your repeat visits to the Site.
To answer any questions you may raise or respond to any comments you may send to us.
To notify you about changes to our service or the functionality of the Site.
To carry out market analysis and research.
To operate automated monitoring of transactions and of game activity, including the stake ceiling, velocity limits, restricted-jurisdiction blocking and the compliance alerts described in clause 3.3 of the Terms of Use.
To carry out verification and manual review where a compliance alert is raised, and to decide whether to release, hold or refuse a payout or to suspend or close an account.
To respond to queries raised by banks, acquirers, payment service providers and other financial institutions in respect of your account or transactions.
No decision producing legal or similarly significant effects for you is taken solely by automated means. Where an automated alert is raised, the resulting review and decision are carried out by a person.
Disclosure of your information
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy assets. In such transactions, the information we have collected about you will generally be one of the transferred business assets. Also in the unlikely event that we or our assets are purchased, your information will also be one of the transferred assets. We may share information about you with:
Other companies in the same corporate group as us. A buyer or prospective buyer of our business.
Our professional advisers, such as our lawyers, where it is necessary for them to advise us.
Other persons if we are under a duty to disclose or share your information in order to comply with any legal obligation.
Banks, acquirers, payment gateways and payment service providers involved in processing your payments, where those institutions request information in respect of your account or transactions in order to meet their own regulatory obligations. This may include the verification documentation described above.
Providers of sanctions and restricted-jurisdiction screening used in connection with registration and payment.
We may also share information about you with third parties that we engage to help us in certain areas; however, we will control and be responsible for the use of your information by these third parties. We may also provide information about you to other users of the Site as reasonably required in order to provide the services that you order from us.
If you use our services, you have the right to have your data erased when you stop using the services and close your account. This right does not extend to data which we are required to retain under the retention period set out below, or which we must keep in connection with an ongoing review, a query from a payment partner or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. To ask us to erase your data please contact Support at main@chessgambit.org.
How long do we keep your data?
Records of your transactions, payout requests, compliance alerts raised, correspondence in connection with a review, and any verification documentation received are retained for a period of five (5) years, in line with clause 3.8 of the Terms of Use and with the standard applied by our regulated payment partners. Other account data is retained for as long as your account remains open and is deleted on closure, subject to the retention period above.
Cookies
We may collect information about your computer, including where available your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregate information. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns and does not identify any individual. For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general internet usage by using a cookie file stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies enable us:
To estimate our audience size and usage pattern; to store information about your preferences and so customise the Site to your interests; to speed up your searches; and to recognise you when you return to the Site.
You can set your browser not to accept cookies. However, in a few cases some of the features on our Site may not function as a result. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to the Site.
Where we store your personal data
By submitting your personal data to us through the Site, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.
If any part of our Site requires login access, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to the Site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
Verification documentation received under a compliance alert is handled manually by designated personnel, is accessible only to those personnel and to the director, and is not passed to any third-party identity verification or document storage service.
We comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the General Data Protection Regulation) and with the Cyprus Law providing for the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data (Law 125(I)/2018). We undertake to keep your personal information confidential and will not sell it to any third party. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, we rely on an adequacy decision of the European Commission or on standard contractual clauses.

The Site may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our partner networks, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.
Access to information and correction
You have the right to request a copy of the information that we hold about you. If you would like a copy of some or all of your personal information, please contact us.
We want to make sure that your personal information is accurate and up to date. You can ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate at any time by contacting us.
You also have the right to object to processing carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests, to request restriction of processing, to receive your data in a portable format, and to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection of the Republic of Cyprus.

The Site is offered and available only to users who are 16 years of age or older, as set out in the Terms of Use. We do not knowingly collect personal data from any person below that age. Where we become aware that we have done so, the account will be closed and the data deleted.
