Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy outlines BPS Entertainment LLP ("we", "our" or "the Company") practices with respect to information collected from users who access our website at britishpokerseries.com ("Site"), or otherwise share personal information with us (collectively: "Users").

Grounds For Data Collection

Processing of your personal information, meaning any information which may potentially allow your identification with reasonable means, is necessary for the performance of our contractual obligations towards you and providing you with our services, to protect our legitimate interests and for compliance with legal and financial regulatory obligations to which we are subject.

When you use the Site, you consent to the collection, storage, use, disclosure and other uses of your Personal Information as described in this Privacy Policy.

We encourage our Users to carefully read the Privacy Policy and use it to make informed decisions.

What Information We Collect

We collect two types of data and information from Users.

The first type of information is un-identified and non-identifiable information pertaining to a User, which may be made available or gathered via your use of the Site ("Non-personal Information"). We are not aware of the identity of a User from which the Non-personal Information was collected.

Non-personal Information may include aggregated usage information and technical information transmitted by your device, including certain software and hardware information, such as the type of browser and operating system your device uses, language preference, access time and other information used to enhance the functionality of our Site. We may also collect information on your activity on the Site, such as pages viewed, online browsing, clicks and actions.

The second type of information is Personal Information, which is individually identifiable information that identifies an individual or may with reasonable effort identify an individual. Such information includes:

• Device Information: We collect Personal Information from your device. Such information includes geolocation data, IP address, unique identifiers, such as MAC address and UUID, and other information which relates to your activity through the Site.
• Registration information: When you register to our Site you may be asked to provide certain details such as full name, email or physical address, and other information.

Sources Of Personal Information

We receive your Personal Information from various sources:

• When you voluntarily provide us your personal details in order to register on our Site.
• When you use or access our Site in connection with your use of our services.
• From third party providers, services and public registers, for example traffic analytics vendors.

How We Use And Share Information

We do not rent, sell, or share Users' information with third parties except as described in this Privacy Policy.

We may use the information for the following:

• Communicating with you, sending notices regarding our services, providing technical information and responding to customer service issues.
• Keeping you informed of our latest updates and services.
• Serving advertisements when you use our Site.
• Marketing our websites and products.
• Conducting statistical and analytical purposes intended to improve the Site.

In addition to the uses listed above, we may transfer or disclose Personal Information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies and subcontractors.

We may share Personal Information with trusted third party providers, who may be located in different jurisdictions across the world, for any of the following purposes:

• Hosting and operating our Site.
• Providing you with our services, including a personalised display of our Site.
• Storing and processing such information on our behalf.
• Serving advertisements and helping us evaluate advertising campaigns and retarget users.
• Providing marketing offers and promotional materials related to our Site and services.
• Performing research, technical diagnostics or analytics.

We may also disclose information if we have good faith to believe that disclosure is helpful or reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request; enforce our policies; investigate, detect, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities or suspected fraud or security issues; establish or exercise our rights to defend against legal claims; prevent harm to the rights, property or safety of us, our users, yourself or any third party; or collaborate with law enforcement agencies where necessary to enforce intellectual property or other legal rights.

Photography, Video & Staff Conduct

Event Photography and Filming: During BPS events, photography and video recording may take place. These images may be used by BPS for promotional, marketing, and archival purposes across digital and print platforms, including websites, social media, press releases, and future event materials.

Your Rights: Under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), you have the right to object to the use of your image. If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed, please notify a member of BPS staff at the event or contact us in advance via player@britishpokerseries.com. You may also request the removal of any published content featuring your image.

Staff Responsibilities: All BPS staff are trained to handle personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy and UK GDPR. Staff are responsible for:

• Respecting attendee privacy preferences, including non-consent to photography or filming.
• Ensuring that any personal data collected during events is securely stored and processed.
• Responding promptly to data subject requests, including access, correction, or deletion of personal data.
• Reporting any data breaches or concerns to the designated Data Protection Officer.

Non-Consent Forms: Attendees who do not wish to appear in any media may complete a non-consent form at the event. BPS will make reasonable efforts to exclude individuals who have opted out from all promotional materials.

Please note that the British Poker Series is a live event where photography and videography are routinely conducted by both official media teams and third-party attendees. While we make every effort to honour non-consent requests, it is not always possible to guarantee complete exclusion from all footage or images taken in public or crowded settings. For individuals who wish to ensure they are not captured under any circumstances, we respectfully advise that participation in live events may not be suitable.

User Rights

You may request to:

1. Receive confirmation as to whether or not personal information concerning you is being processed, and access your stored personal information, together with supplementary information.
2. Receive a copy of personal information you directly volunteer to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
3. Request rectification of your personal information that is in our control.
4. Request erasure of your personal information.
5. Object to the processing of personal information by us.
6. Request to restrict processing of your personal information by us.
7. Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to our own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements.

If you wish to exercise any of the aforementioned rights, or receive more information, please contact our Data Protection Officer using player@britishpokerseries.com.

Retention

We will retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide our services, and as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies.

Retention periods will be determined taking into account the type of information collected and the purpose for which it is collected, bearing in mind applicable requirements and the need to destroy outdated, unused information at the earliest reasonable time.

Under applicable regulations, we will keep records containing client personal data, account opening documents, communications and anything else as required by applicable laws and regulations.

We may rectify, replenish or remove incomplete or inaccurate information at any time and at our own discretion.

Cookies

We and our trusted partners use cookies and other technologies in our related services, including when you visit our Site or access our services.

A cookie is a small piece of information that a website assigns to your device while you are viewing a website. Cookies can be used for various purposes, including allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, enabling automatic activation of certain features, remembering your preferences and making the interaction between you and our services quicker and easier.

Cookies are also used to help ensure that advertisements you see are relevant to you and your interests, and to compile statistical data on your use of our services.

The Site uses the following types of cookies:

• Session cookies: Stored only temporarily during a browsing session and deleted from your device when the browser is closed.
• Persistent cookies: Saved on your computer for a fixed period and used where we need to recognise repeat visits, for example to store preferences.

Cookies do not contain information that personally identifies you, but Personal Information that we store about you may be linked to information stored in and obtained from cookies. You may remove cookies by following the instructions of your device preferences. If you disable cookies, some features of our Site may not operate properly and your online experience may be limited.

We also use Google Analytics to collect information about your use of the Site, such as how often users access the Site and what pages they visit. We use this information only to improve our Site and services. Google Analytics collects the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit sites, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine information collected through Google Analytics with personally identifiable information.

Third Party Collection Of Information

Our policy only addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. To the extent you disclose your information to other parties or sites throughout the internet, different rules may apply to their use or disclosure of that information. We encourage you to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each third party that you choose to disclose information to.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to practices of companies that we do not own or control, or individuals whom we do not employ or manage, including any third parties to which we may disclose information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

How We Safeguard Your Information

We take care in implementing and maintaining the security of the Site and your information. We employ industry standard procedures and policies to ensure the safety of the information we collect and retain, prevent unauthorised use of such information, and require third parties to comply with similar security requirements in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Although we take reasonable steps to safeguard information, we cannot be responsible for the acts of those who gain unauthorised access or abuse our Site, and we make no warranty, express, implied or otherwise, that we will prevent such access.

You may opt out of many third-party ad networks, including those operated by members of the Network Advertising Initiative and the Digital Advertising Alliance.

Marketing

We may use your Personal Information, such as your name, email address and telephone number, ourselves or through third party subcontractors, for the purpose of providing promotional materials concerning our services which we believe may interest you.

Out of respect for your right to privacy, we provide you with means to decline receiving further marketing offers. If you unsubscribe, we will remove your email address or telephone number from our marketing distribution lists.

Even if you unsubscribe from marketing emails, we may send you other types of important email communications without offering the opportunity to opt out, including customer service announcements or administrative notices.

Corporate Transaction

We may share information in the event of a corporate transaction, such as sale of a substantial part of our business, merger, consolidation or asset sale. In such event, the transferee or acquiring company will assume the rights and obligations described in this Privacy Policy.

Minors

We understand the importance of protecting children's privacy, especially in an online environment. The Site is not designed for or directed at anyone under the age of 18. Under no circumstances shall we allow use of our services by minors. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from minors.
