At Swift Casino, player privacy and data protection are fundamental rights that we take seriously under UK law and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This page translates our Swift Casino privacy policy into plain English, explaining exactly what personal and financial data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have as a UK player in 2026.
Unlike a standard legal document, this guide is designed to help you understand the practical implications of our data protection policy and empower you to exercise your GDPR rights. Whether you're concerned about account security, payment information, or cookie tracking, we've broken down every aspect of our Swift Casino data policy into actionable information.
