PlayLive collects personal data when you register, verify your identity, make payments, contact support, or use the platform. The privacy policy explains what the operator collects and why it needs those details. It also covers storage, security, cookies, disclosure, and your rights.
By creating an account or continuing to use PlayLive, you agree to these collection and processing practices. When you register through playlive.co.za in South Africa, the operator in Curaçao may process your account activity and verification details. You can then see how each category of data affects your use of the platform.
PlayLive Data Controller and Legal Basis
Gleneagles B.V. operates PlayLive and controls the personal information processed through the platform. Its company and licensing details are summarised below:
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Data controller | Gleneagles B.V. |
| Company number | 158256 |
| Registered address | Willemstad, Curaçao |
| Licensing authority | Curaçao Gaming Authority |
| Licensing jurisdiction | Curaçao under the LOK framework |
| Licence number | OGL/2024/1242/0772 |
| Licence granted | 03/10/2025 |
| LOK effective date | 12 November 2025 |
PlayLive handles your information under applicable data protection laws and the conditions attached to its Curaçao licence. Processing relies on the following legal grounds:
- Contract performance covers the data PlayLive needs to create your account and provide its services.
- Legal and licensing obligations apply to KYC and AML checks. They extend to regulatory reporting and security reviews.
- Legitimate operational interests permit PlayLive to protect its systems, investigate suspicious activity, and improve performance.
- Consent applies when you select an optional feature that requires permission.
These licensing duties remain in force when you create an account through the South African PlayLive website. The operator must confirm that each account holder is at least 18 and eligible to register.
Information PlayLive Collects About You
PlayLive receives personal data through account activity, technical interactions, and authorised external services. Its source determines how the data is obtained and the purpose it can serve:
| Data source | Information collected |
|---|---|
| Information you provide | Name, date of birth, residential address, email address, telephone number, account credentials, payment details, and customer support messages |
| Verification documents | Identity document, proof of address, payment method proof, source of funds evidence, and bank statements when requested |
| Automatic collection | IP address, device type, browser, operating system, login time, and activity on PlayLive |
| Payment providers | Transaction information and payment status |
| Identity verification services | Results of document and identity checks |
| Other authorised partners | Information needed for account checks, security, or service delivery |
Verification is required before your first withdrawal. If your PlayLive profile contains a South African residential address and local banking details, the submitted documents must match that information. Any discrepancy between your account and the supporting evidence can lead to further review.
Not every category reaches PlayLive at the same stage. Basic details are collected during registration, while technical records appear as you navigate the website. Additional financial evidence is requested only when necessary.
Main Purposes of PlayLive Data Processing
PlayLive uses personal information to operate accounts, meet licensing duties, and provide access to its services. Each purpose relates to an identifiable account or operational need:
- Account management covers profile creation and maintenance. It confirms that you are at least 18 and eligible to hold an account.
- KYC and AML processing supports identity checks and reviews of financial activity. PlayLive can request additional source of funds evidence when needed.
- Payment processing handles deposits and withdrawals. Transaction records are available for examining failed or disputed payments.
- Customer support staff use relevant records to investigate payment problems, verification delays, and technical faults.
- Platform analysis monitors performance and reveals system problems or suspicious account activity.
- Responsible gambling monitoring identifies account behaviour that may indicate harmful play.
Accurate contact information becomes important if PlayLive requests another document before releasing a withdrawal to a South African bank account. An outdated telephone number or email address could leave you unaware that verification remains incomplete. The available responsible gambling controls are:
- Self-exclusion
- Cooling-off
- Deposit limits
- Wager limits
- Loss limits
Account data applies your chosen restriction to the correct profile. Just make sure you select the option that matches the level of control you need.
Who PlayLive Can Share Data With
PlayLive relies on connected companies and external organisations for some account functions. It shares relevant information only when another party needs access for an authorised purpose:
| Recipient | Reason for disclosure |
|---|---|
| Internal group companies | Account administration, operational support, and platform security |
| Payment processors | Deposit processing, withdrawal processing, and transaction verification |
| Identity verification partners | KYC checks and document validation |
| Hosting and technical providers | Website operation, infrastructure maintenance, and system protection |
| Customer support providers | Assistance with account and service requests |
| Curaçao Gaming Authority | Licensing supervision and regulatory compliance |
| Law enforcement agencies | Legally authorised investigations |
| Courts and other legal bodies | Compliance with valid legal orders |
The recipient receives only the data relevant to its task. A payment processor, for instance, may need transaction details without receiving your complete PlayLive verification record.
A transaction through a South African bank may create payment records that PlayLive sends to the processor handling the deposit or withdrawal. The registered payment method must belong to you. Gleneagles B.V. can disclose other records when legally required. A regulatory request, fraud review, or authorised investigation may create a separate duty to provide them.
How PlayLive Protects Your Information
PlayLive applies technical and organisational controls to reduce the risk of misuse or loss. Staff access to sensitive records depends on their responsibilities. Its core protection measures include:
- Encryption protects information during storage and transfer.
- Network safeguards secure the infrastructure used to operate PlayLive.
- Access controls limit sensitive records to authorised personnel.
- Continuous monitoring detects unusual behaviour for investigation by the security team.
Supported card payments use 3D Secure. If your card was issued by a South African bank, the bank may request an extra authentication step before approving the PlayLive transaction.
During an investigation, the dedicated security team can examine:
- Device information
- IP address activity
- Transaction patterns
- Account access history
Automated and manual checks can identify an unfamiliar login or suspicious payment pattern. You can protect your PlayLive account by taking these steps:
- Create a password that you do not use on another website.
- Keep your login details private.
- Contact support if you notice activity that you do not recognise.
PlayLive Rules for Data Retention
PlayLive retains personal information while it remains necessary for account management, service delivery, dispute resolution, or legal compliance. Each record serves a different function, so deletion rules and storage periods vary:
| Data category | Retention approach | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Active account information | Kept while needed to manage the account | Service delivery and account administration |
| Support records | Retained while relevant to a request or dispute | Issue resolution and service history |
| Transaction records | Kept for the applicable operational or legal period | Payment review and regulatory compliance |
| Optional cookies and browser data | Removable through browser or cookie settings | Preference and tracking management |
| Temporary session records | Deleted automatically when the session or stated storage period expires | Short-term website operation |
| KYC and AML records | Retained for the legally required period | Licensing and financial compliance |
| Fraud investigation records | Kept while a legal or regulatory reason remains | Security and investigation duties |
You can ask PlayLive to delete information that no longer serves a required purpose. Closing your account, however, does not automatically remove every record. KYC documents or transaction histories may remain on file after closure.
An account registered through playlive.co.za in South Africa is still subject to the operator’s Curaçao licensing duties. Gleneagles B.V. may retain individual records while a regulatory reason remains, even if it approves the rest of your deletion request.
Your Privacy Rights at PlayLive
You have rights over the personal information held by PlayLive. The legal ground for processing and any retention duty can affect which requests are available. Your main rights include:
- Access to personal information connected with your account
- Correction of incomplete or inaccurate details
- Deletion of information that is no longer required
- Restriction of certain processing activities
- Objection to processing supported by a relevant legal ground
- Submission of a complaint to the appropriate data protection authority
Submit your request through an available PlayLive support channel:
- State which privacy right you want to exercise.
- Provide enough account information to identify your profile.
- Complete the requested identity check before PlayLive releases or changes the data.
Identity verification prevents someone else from accessing or altering your records. PlayLive may approve one part of a request while retaining data covered by a legal obligation.
A complaint about information linked to your PlayLive account in South Africa can be taken to the data protection authority responsible for that jurisdiction. You can contact PlayLive first if you want the operator to review or correct the issue.
Cookie Controls Available on PlayLive
PlayLive uses cookies and similar technologies to run its website and remember selected preferences. A cookie is a small data file stored through your browser. It may last for the current session or remain until its expiry date.
Each cookie category has a separate function and level of control:

| Preference cookies | Remember selections such as language or display settings | Yes, through the available cookie controls or browser settings |

| Optional tracking cookies | Support personalised content or promotional activity | Yes, through your cookie preferences |
When you return to playlive.co.za from South Africa, preference cookies can restore choices made during an earlier visit. Basic platform functions do not depend on optional cookies.

When PlayLive Updates Its Privacy Policy
PlayLive may revise its privacy policy after a change in its legal, technical, or operational position. Common triggers include:
- New data protection requirements
- Changes to licensing conditions
- Updates to website technology
- Adjustments to data processing practices
A revision may alter these parts of the PlayLive policy:
- The information collected
- The purposes of processing
- The organisations receiving data
- The rights available to you
PlayLive can announce an update through several channels:
- A notice within your account
- A message displayed on the website
- Another communication channel connected with your account
- A renewed consent request when required
PlayLive operates under a Curaçao licence while serving the South African market through playlive.co.za. A policy update can therefore affect how account information moves between those jurisdictions. Check the effective date before continuing to use the platform.
Continued use after an update means the revised policy applies to later activity, subject to any consent requirements under applicable law. If you disagree with a change, stop using the affected service and contact PlayLive support before providing more personal information or completing another transaction.
