What Personal Data We Collect
OBSERVE: Operation of an online casino requires multiple data categories: identification, contact, technical, financial, behavioural, and tracking data.

Legal Basis for Processing
OBSERVE: Offshore gambling operators require multiple concurrent legal grounds for processing: contract, legal obligation, legitimate interests, and consent, depending on activity.
EXPAND: Although Yabby is operated from Curaçao and primarily targets Australia, we align our framework with internationally recognised standards such as GDPR while also considering local Australian expectations.
REFLECT: We identify the main legal bases clearly so users understand when processing is necessary, when it is optional, and when they may object.
Performance of a Contract
We process your personal data because it is necessary to enter into and perform our agreement with you, including:
- Creating and managing your player account
- Allowing you to deposit funds, place bets, and withdraw winnings
- Providing access to games, promotions, and loyalty programs
- Communicating with you about your account, transactions, and gameplay
- Providing customer support and resolving technical issues
Compliance with Legal and Regulatory Obligations
We process specific categories of data because we are legally required to do so under Curaçao law, licence conditions, and applicable anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism financing rules, including:

- Assessing and monitoring transactions for suspicious or unlawful activity
- Maintaining records for audit, tax, and regulatory reporting purposes

- Using certain non-essential cookies and tracking technologies for analytics and advertising
- Processing special categories of information you voluntarily provide (for example, health-related information in the context of problem gambling support)
If you withdraw consent, this will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before the withdrawal, but it may limit some features or services.

REFLECT: We describe categories of recipients, purposes of sharing, and safeguards applied.

We do not sell your personal data in exchange for money. Any sharing for marketing purposes is performed under strict contractual controls and, where required, based on your consent or an opt-out mechanism.
International Transfers
OBSERVE: Yabby operates from Curaçao and targets Australian users, so data flows cross-border by design.
EXPAND: Data may be stored and processed in multiple jurisdictions (for example, EU/EEA, the United States, Asia-Pacific) depending on hosting, game providers, and payment processors.
REFLECT: We explain these transfers and the safeguards used to protect your information.
Locations of Processing
- Curaçao: Primary place of incorporation, regulatory oversight, and some operational processing.
- European Economic Area (EEA) / United Kingdom: Possible hosting, payment providers, game providers, and professional advisers.
- United States and other third countries: Selected cloud services, analytics, fraud-prevention tools, or communication platforms.
- Australia: While our infrastructure is generally offshore, some third parties or CDN nodes may operate in or near Australia to optimise latency.
Protection Measures for International Transfers
- Contractual safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms where required by applicable law
- Vendor due diligence to ensure appropriate technical and organisational security measures
- Data minimisation and, where practical, pseudonymisation before transfer
- Continuous monitoring of legal developments affecting international data flows
By using yabby-au.com, you understand that your data may be processed in countries that may have different data protection standards than your home country. However, we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is handled securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Data Retention
OBSERVE: Gambling and AML rules require certain data to be kept for fixed minimum periods; privacy principles require that we do not retain data longer than necessary.
EXPAND: Different categories of data must be retained for different timeframes, with clear criteria for deletion or anonymisation.
REFLECT: We provide a retention framework and highlight that legal or regulatory obligations may override deletion requests for a period.
General Retention Principles
- We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting obligations and to resolve disputes.
- When data is no longer required, we will either securely delete it or irreversibly anonymise it so it can no longer be associated with you.
Indicative Retention Periods
- Account and identity data: Generally retained for the duration of your active account and for up to 5 - 7 years after account closure, to comply with AML, gaming, and record-keeping requirements and to defend legal claims.
- Financial and transaction data: Retained for at least 5 - 7 years from the date of the last transaction, in line with anti-money-laundering and tax documentation rules.
- Gameplay and behavioural data: Kept for the life of the account and typically for up to 5 years after closure for compliance, audit, and responsible gambling analysis, after which it may be aggregated or anonymised.
- Marketing and communication data: Retained until you withdraw consent or opt out of marketing, and for a further 2 years to document the fact that we honoured your request.
- Technical logs and security data: Retained typically for 6 - 24 months, unless longer retention is required for investigation of incidents or legal processes.
Deletion and Anonymisation
- Where you request erasure, we will remove or anonymise data that is not subject to a legal or regulatory retention requirement.
- Back-up copies may persist for a limited period until overwritten, but are subject to restricted access and eventual deletion.
Your Rights
OBSERVE: Even though Yabby is operated from Curaçao and primarily serves Australia, players expect rights similar to those under modern data protection regimes (e.g. GDPR). The prompt also refers to Mexican privacy law alignment; we address rights in a harmonised way.
EXPAND: Rights typically include access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent, along with complaints mechanisms and timelines.
REFLECT: We provide a rights catalogue, describe how to exercise them, specify response deadlines (normally 30 days), and clarify that we do not charge for standard requests.
Overview of Your Rights
- Right of access: You may request confirmation whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of such data, together with information about the processing.
- Right to rectification: You may ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data (for example, if your address or contact details change).
- Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where:
- It is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected;
- You withdraw consent where consent was the sole legal basis; or
- You have successfully objected to the processing.
- Right to restriction of processing: You may ask us to restrict processing in certain cases, for example while we verify the accuracy of data or assess an objection.
- Right to object: You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling, where your specific situation justifies it. You have an unconditional right to object to direct marketing at any time.
- Right to data portability: For data you provided to us and that we process by automated means on the basis of consent or contract, you may request a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable copy, and you may ask us to transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time. This does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing but may impact our ability to provide certain services (for example, marketing communications or certain cookies).
Procedures, Timeframes, and Costs
- How to submit a request: You can exercise your rights by contacting us via:
- E-mail: [email protected] or [email protected]
- Postal mail: Privacy & Compliance, Anden Online N.V., Abraham de Veerstraat 9, Willemstad, Curaçao
- Verification: For your security, we may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, for example by asking you to log in, provide certain account information, or supply identification documents.
- Response time: We aim to respond to all valid requests within 30 days of receipt. If a request is complex or numerous, we may extend this period by a further 30 days, informing you of the reasons and expected timeframe.
- Charges: We handle rights requests free of charge. However, where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act, in line with recognised international standards.
Our approach is informed by principles found in global privacy frameworks, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation. References in this Policy to alignment with Mexican or EU-style rights are for harmonisation and transparency; the primary applicable law is that of Curaçao and, where relevant, local laws of users' countries such as Australia.
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
OBSERVE: Cookies support core functionality, analytics, and marketing.
EXPAND: We must describe types of cookies, their purposes, and how users can control them.
REFLECT: We categorise cookies and provide practical guidance for management.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Strictly necessary (session) cookies: These cookies are essential for the operation of yabby-au.com, enabling you to log in, maintain sessions, use the cashier, and navigate securely. They are usually session-based and expire when you close your browser.
- Functional cookies: These remember your preferences (such as language, region, and display settings) and enhance your experience. They may be persistent for a limited period.
- Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use our site (pages visited, time spent, errors encountered) so we can improve performance and usability. We may use first-party analytics tools or trusted third parties operating under our instructions.
- Advertising and affiliate cookies: Where implemented and permitted by law, these cookies help measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, track referrals from affiliates, and, in some cases, tailor promotional messages.
Managing Cookies
- You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Instructions are typically found in the "Help" or "Settings" section of your browser.
- Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect core functionality and could prevent you from logging in or playing games.
- Where we provide an internal consent or cookie management panel, you can use it to modify your preferences for non-essential cookies at any time.
- Some tracking technologies, such as HTML5 storage or device fingerprinting, may not be fully controlled via traditional cookie settings, but we limit their use to security and fraud-prevention where possible.
Data Security
OBSERVE: Online gambling involves sensitive financial and behavioural data and is exposed to significant fraud and cyber risk.
EXPAND: We must apply robust technical and organisational measures and explain them in a way that reassures users without revealing confidential security details.
REFLECT: We summarise our defence-in-depth approach and alignment with recognised standards.
Technical Measures
- Encryption in transit: Data transmitted between your device and yabby-au.com is protected using industry-standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) version 1.2 or higher.
- Encryption at rest: Sensitive information (such as passwords and selected financial identifiers) is stored in encrypted or hashed form using strong cryptographic algorithms.
- Access controls: Access to personal data is limited to authorised personnel and service providers who require it for their duties and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Network and infrastructure security: Firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and anti-malware solutions are used to protect our infrastructure.
- Segregation and logging: Different environments are segregated where appropriate, with logging and monitoring to detect unusual activity.
Organisational Measures
- Policies and training: Staff receive periodic training on privacy, security, and responsible handling of customer data.
- Vendor management: Third-party processors are vetted for security practices and required to implement appropriate safeguards.
- Incident response: We maintain procedures for identifying, assessing, and responding to data incidents. Where required by applicable law, we will notify relevant authorities and affected users of significant personal data breaches without undue delay.
- Continuous improvement: Our security practices are regularly reviewed and updated in light of technological developments and evolving threats. While we are not formally certified under ISO 27001 or SOC 2 at the time of this Policy, we endeavour to follow principles consistent with such standards.
No system can be guaranteed 100% secure. However, we continuously work to protect your information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration.
Complaints & Contacts
OBSERVE: Users need clear channels to raise privacy concerns and escalate unresolved complaints.

- Further review: If you are unsatisfied with our response, you may request that the matter be escalated to senior management for an additional review.
External Escalation
Because Yabby is operated from Curaçao, our primary regulatory contacts are Curaçao authorities. However, depending on your country of residence, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a local data protection or consumer authority under your national laws (for example, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) for Australian residents).
- Example (Australia - OAIC): Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, GPO Box 5288, Sydney NSW 2001, Australia, website: https://www.oaic.gov.au
If you are uncertain which authority is competent in your case, you may contact us and we will provide guidance to the extent reasonably possible.
Updates
OBSERVE: Privacy policies must be updated to reflect regulatory changes, new services, and evolving practices.
