All third-party service providers who handle your data are bound by confidentiality obligations and are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes beyond the agreed scope.
6 Account Security and Your Responsibilities
hoot51 uses SSL encryption across the platform and requires OTP verification for sensitive account actions including withdrawals and login from new devices. These measures protect your account from unauthorised access.
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential. Do not share your password or OTP codes with anyone, including people claiming to be hoot51 staff. hoot51 will never ask for your password through email, chat, or phone.
If you suspect your account has been accessed without your authorisation, contact [email protected] immediately so we can secure your account and investigate.
7 Data Retention
hoot51 keeps your personal data for as long as your account is active and for a defined period after closure. The specific retention period depends on the category of data and the legal obligations that apply:
- Account and identity information is retained for the duration of your account and for a standard period after closure to meet anti-money laundering and legal record-keeping requirements
- Transaction records (deposits, withdrawals, and gameplay) are retained as required by applicable financial and gaming record-keeping obligations
- Support communications are kept for a reasonable period to allow for follow-up and dispute resolution
- Technical logs (session data, IP records) are retained for a shorter period primarily for security monitoring purposes
Once retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer identify you.
