Users are required to provide accurate information regarding their age at the time of registration.

Discovery of Minor’s Data

In the event that Parimatch becomes aware that personal data belonging to a minor has been collected, such data will be deleted promptly. Parents or legal guardians who have reason to believe that a minor has registered on the platform or submitted personal data may contact the support team to request the immediate removal of the relevant information. Upon receiving such a request, Parimatch will take appropriate action to verify the claim and delete the data without undue delay.

Such transfers are necessary to provide the services available on the platform and to fulfil contractual and legal obligations. By accessing and using the Parimatch platform, users consent to the transfer of their personal data to these international locations.

Parimatch takes reasonable steps to ensure that all partners and third-party processors who receive personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations and apply appropriate data protection standards.
