2 How We Collect Data

5hot collects personal information through three primary channels:

  • Directly from you: Information you provide when registering an account, completing the KYC process, contacting customer support, or filling in any form on the platform.
  • Automatically: Technical data and activity data collected automatically when you browse or use the 5hot platform, including through cookies, log files, and similar tracking technologies.
  • From third parties: In certain situations, we may receive additional information from trusted identity verification providers, payment service providers, or fraud prevention agencies for the purpose of verifying and protecting your account.
Notice: 5hot does not collect personal information from public sources such as social media without your knowledge and consent. Every instance of data collection has a valid legal basis.

3 Purpose of Data Use

The personal information we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes. We will not use your data for any other purpose without obtaining fresh consent from you:

  • Account management: Create, verify, and securely maintain your user account.
  • Transaction processing: Process deposits, withdrawals, and all financial transactions related to your account.
  • Identity verification (KYC): Meet anti-money laundering (AML) compliance requirements and applicable regulatory obligations.
  • Platform security: Detect and prevent fraud, account abuse, illegal activity, and cybersecurity threats.
  • Customer support: Provide technical assistance and resolve any enquiries or complaints you submit.
  • Service improvement: Analyse usage patterns to improve the user experience, platform performance, and new product offerings.
  • Marketing communications: Send promotional information, exclusive offers, and platform updates — only to users who have agreed to receive such communications.
  • Legal compliance: Comply with legal obligations, court orders, or lawful requests from the relevant authorities.

4 Sharing Information with Third Parties

5hot understands how sensitive your personal information is. We therefore maintain a strictly limited sharing policy and only share data when genuinely necessary. Third parties that may receive your information include:

  • Payment providers: Financial information required to process your deposit and withdrawal transactions is shared with payment service providers that have undergone rigorous security assessments.
  • Technology service providers: Companies that help us operate the platform's technical infrastructure, including cloud computing and cybersecurity services, are subject to binding confidentiality agreements.
  • Game providers: In the context of live casino games or games from third-party providers, the minimum required information may be shared with the relevant game provider for technical integration purposes only.
  • Authorities: We will disclose personal information to government authorities, law enforcement agencies, or regulatory bodies when required by law or a valid court order.
Our Guarantee: All third parties working with 5hot are required to comply with security and privacy standards equal to or higher than those we uphold ourselves. Legally binding data processing agreements are signed with every partner.

The 5hot platform uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance the user experience, analyse traffic, and ensure platform security. The following are the types of cookies we use:

6 Data Storage & Security

The security of your personal data is 5hot's absolute priority. We implement comprehensive technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction:

  • All data is stored in certified data centres with multiple layers of physical access controls, including biometric authentication and 24/7 surveillance.
  • Data encryption at rest using AES-256 standards ensures data remains unreadable even in the event of unauthorised physical access.
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) ensures that only authorised staff can access specific data strictly in accordance with the requirements of their role.
  • Regular security audits are conducted by independent third parties to identify and address any system vulnerabilities.
  • A comprehensive security incident response plan is in place; in the event of a data breach involving your information, we will notify you within the timeframe stipulated by law.

Data retention period: Your personal information is retained for as long as your account remains active and for any additional period required by law following account closure, typically between 5 to 7 years in accordance with AML compliance requirements.
