If a parent or legal guardian becomes aware that their child has registered on the platform or submitted personal data, they are requested to contact the support team immediately. Upon verification, all associated data will be removed in accordance with this policy and applicable law.

Parimatch strongly encourages parents and guardians to monitor online activity and use available parental control tools to prevent underage access to gambling websites.

International Data Transfers

Parimatch operates as part of a global network of entities and engages service providers and partners located in various countries.

By creating an account and using the Parimatch platform, users provide their informed consent to the transfer and processing of their personal data in countries outside their country of residence. Such transfers are carried out where necessary to provide the services described in this policy.

Confidentiality Standards Applied to Partners

All third parties and partners to whom personal data is transferred are required to maintain confidentiality standards consistent with this Privacy Policy. Parimatch ensures, through contractual arrangements and due diligence, that partner entities handle personal data responsibly and in compliance with applicable data protection obligations.
