Privacy Policy

Gods of Poker (GOP) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you participate in GOP events, use our website, mobile applications, or third-party platforms such as KHold’em.

We collect personal information, including passport or government-issued ID details, strictly for identity verification, registration, and tournament administration purposes.

All personal data is handled with strict confidentiality and securely stored using appropriate safeguards. GOP does not sell, share, or distribute your personal information to any third parties, except where required by law, regulatory authorities, or for essential event operations (such as registration systems).

By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of your information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

Personal Information

• Name, email address, phone number, nationality, government-issued identification, and other details required for registration and participation.

KYC Identity Verification Data (via Didit.me)

• For certain events, online services, or platform access, you may be required to complete identity verification (“KYC”). During this process, we may collect:
  • Passport or government-issued ID (image and details)
  • Facial images or short video for biometric and liveliness verification
  • Metadata and technical information related to the verification attempt
  • Verification status and results
  • Identity verification is processed by our third-party provider, **Didit.me**, who receives and evaluates your data securely on our behalf.
• You may review their privacy policy at https://didit.me/terms/privacy-policy/.
• GOP only receives the verification outcome and essential identity attributes needed to manage your participation.

Gameplay Data

• Chip counts, results, rankings, and other tournament management data collected via KHold’em or other systems.

Technical Data

• IP address, device information, browser type, and cookies when you use our website or mobile app.

Marketing Data

• Preferences, feedback, survey responses, and interactions with promotional content.

Analytics Data

• Data collected through third-party tools such as Microsoft Clarity, including page views, clicks, scrolls, navigation patterns, session recordings, and website interactions. This data is anonymized and does not directly identify you.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Process registrations, seat draws, and tournament management
• Verify identity, prevent fraud, and maintain platform integrity
• Publish live updates, chip counts, results, and media coverage
• Send event communications, promotional offers, and newsletters

• With third-party service providers (e.g., KHold’em) for tournament management and app services.

Data Retention

• GOP retains your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes in this policy, including legal, accounting, and reporting obligations.

• Didit.me may retain raw verification data under its own security, audit, and compliance policies.
• GOP only stores the verification status and essential identifying metadata.

Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information. However, no system is 100% secure, and GOP cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your data where legally permissible.
• Opt-Out: Opt-out of marketing communications at any time.
