What Info Does Woman's Own Bingo Collect?
The first type of information Woman's Own Bingo collects about you is the information you provide directly. You share it when interacting with specific components of the platform. For example, when you create and verify a Woman's Own Bingo account, you may be asked to provide a passport, ID card, or driver’s licence.
Some information about you is sent to Woman's Own Bingo automatically. This includes your IP address, operating system, the device you use to access Woman's Own Bingo, crash reports (if the platform crashes while you’re using it), and more.
Woman's Own Bingo occasionally obtains information about you from third parties. For example, the platform may request information from its payment providers about clients (this can be required to comply with AML and KYC obligations).
Legality of Processing Your Data
The primary basis allowing Woman's Own Bingo to collect information about you is the contract you enter into during registration. In addition, Woman's Own Bingo is subject to anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations under its UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence. These legal requirements permit the platform to collect certain data (notably payment details) to comply with regulatory duties.
How Woman's Own Bingo App Uses the Collected Data
What is the purpose of collecting this information about you? Woman's Own Bingo uses it to:
- Determine if you are eligible to use the app: the Woman's Own Bingo application needs to verify that you are over 18 years of age and reside in an accepted jurisdiction;
- Fulfil legal duties: Woman's Own Bingo must carry out AML and KYC procedures (as required by its UKGC licence), which may involve processing your payment information;

These and other points of the Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. If changes occur, Woman's Own Bingo will notify you and provide the opportunity to review all updates.
Sharing Your Personal Data
Under the Woman's Own Bingo Privacy Policy, the platform may share your personal data. To whom? Primarily, your information can be shared with other companies within the Woman's Own Bingo group and with service providers (payment processors, game suppliers, etc.).
Woman's Own Bingo may also routinely disclose your data to regulators, law enforcement authorities, government agencies, courts, fraud prevention organisations, licensing bodies such as the UK Gambling Commission, eSports self-regulatory bodies, and similar entities. Such disclosures are often necessary to meet AML and KYC compliance obligations.
How Woman's Own Bingo Protects Your Data
The platform retains a significant amount of sensitive information within its systems, so robust protection is essential. To ensure this, Woman's Own Bingo employs encryption. Standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) is applied when you transmit your data and while it is stored by Woman's Own Bingo.
Alongside encryption, Woman's Own Bingo implements well-established network security controls. These include firewalls, intrusion prevention systems and network segmentation, all of which are monitored and maintained in accordance with industry best practices. To bolster network security, Woman's Own Bingo maintains a dedicated security team that continuously monitors security systems, event logs, notifications and alerts from all systems to detect and manage potential threats.
Furthermore, Woman's Own Bingo restricts access to your information. Only a limited number of employees, contractors and authorised agents can view the data you provide.
Data Retention
You may remove certain information you have provided to Woman's Own Bingo at any time; some data may be deleted automatically; other data is retained for periods determined by Woman's Own Bingo. Why is this done? Most commonly, it is to comply with legal obligations that require Woman's Own Bingo to perform AML and KYC procedures, both of which necessitate retaining specific personal data.
