Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Bluefox, operated via the website bluefoks.com, collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal data of players and visitors. It applies to all individuals who access or use the online casino services and related features provided through bluefoks.com, including account holders, prospective players, and website visitors. By using the site or creating an account, you acknowledge that your personal data will be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws in the United Kingdom. Effective date: 6 November 2025.
Who We Are
Bluefox is the United Kingdom-facing configuration of the online casino brand "Bluefox", made available through the website bluefoks.com. The services are operated on a white-label basis by ProgressPlay Limited, which is the main entity responsible for the operation of the platform and, for most processing activities described in this Privacy Policy, acts as the data controller.
Operator and Legal Entity
- Company name: ProgressPlay Limited
- Legal form: Limited company incorporated under the laws of Malta
- Registered number: C58305 (Malta Business Registry)
- Registered and operational address: Soho Office, 3A, Punchbowl Centre, Elia Zammit Street, St. Julians, STJ3154, Malta
- Primary business activity: Operation of online casino services, including the Bluefox white-label brand on the ProgressPlay platform
Licensing and Regulatory Context
- United Kingdom: For players in Great Britain, the services are provided under the UK Gambling Commission licence/account number 39335 held by ProgressPlay Limited, which regulates how we offer remote gambling services and imposes strict requirements on customer due diligence, anti-money laundering (AML), player fund protection, and fair and transparent terms.
- International markets: For eligible international markets outside Great Britain and outside restricted territories, ProgressPlay Limited operates under licence MGA/B2C/231/2012 issued by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). While this Privacy Policy focuses on the UK perspective, the same core data protection standards, based on UK GDPR and EU GDPR principles, apply across our operations where applicable.
- Player funds: In line with information published by the UK Gambling Commission, player fund protection for our UK-facing operations is assessed as "medium", which means that funds are held in segregated accounts but may not be fully protected in the event of operator insolvency. This relates to financial protection rather than privacy, but we include it here to provide a complete picture of our regulatory context.
Data Protection Responsibility
- Data controller: For most processing activities described in this Privacy Policy, including account management, gaming, and marketing for Bluefox, the data controller is ProgressPlay Limited, Soho Office, 3A, Punchbowl Centre, Elia Zammit Street, St. Julians, STJ3154, Malta.
- Joint controllers / processors: In some cases (for example, payment processing, game providers, fraud prevention tools), we may act as joint controller with or rely on third-party processors. The essence of relevant arrangements is available upon request, and we only engage such parties under legally compliant data protection agreements.
Data Protection Contact
- Data Protection Officer / Data Protection Team: ProgressPlay Limited has appointed a dedicated function responsible for overseeing compliance with data protection laws across its operations, including Bluefox.

Gaming, Behavioural and Profile Data

We use session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain for a longer period or until deleted).

Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data only where we have a valid legal basis under applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR") and the Data Protection Act 2018. For players located in the European Economic Area (EEA), equivalent provisions of the EU GDPR apply. For players located in other jurisdictions where our services are lawfully offered, we also take into account any relevant local data protection requirements, including Mexican privacy laws where applicable. The main legal bases we rely upon are outlined below.
Performance of a Contract
- Account creation and management: We need to process your personal data to set up and operate your Bluefox account on bluefoks.com, including enabling you to log in, manage your settings, and access games and services.
- Provision of gambling services: Processing of identification data, gaming history, transaction data, and technical data is necessary to provide you with remote gambling services, handle deposits and withdrawals, award winnings, apply bonuses, and track wagering requirements under the Terms and Conditions.
- Customer support and dispute resolution: When you contact support, raise a complaint, or interact with ADR bodies (such as IBAS), we process your data as needed to investigate and resolve the matter, which is integral to our contractual relationship.
Compliance with Legal and Regulatory Obligations
- Gambling and licensing regulations: UKGC and MGA rules require us to carry out age and identity verification, maintain detailed records of transactions and gameplay, and monitor for suspicious activity. We process personal data to comply with these obligations, including those related to responsible gambling, player fund segregation, and regulatory reporting.
- Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF): We are legally obliged to perform due diligence checks, keep records of certain financial transactions for defined periods, and report suspicious activity to relevant authorities. This processing includes verification documents, transaction monitoring, and the use of financial crime screening tools.
- Data protection and consumer law: We process data to honour your data protection rights, respond to regulatory requests, maintain records of your consents and preferences, and comply with consumer protection and e-privacy rules regarding marketing and cookies.
Legitimate Interests
- Service improvement and analytics: We analyse aggregated or pseudonymised usage and behavioural data to improve site performance, optimise game offerings, and enhance the user experience, ensuring that such activities are proportionate and do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms.
- Fraud and security: We process technical and behavioural data to detect and prevent fraud, abuse, bonus misuse, account takeover, and other security incidents. This may involve automated risk scoring and use of third-party fraud prevention tools, subject to human oversight where required.
- Regulatory and business integrity: We retain certain records and share limited information with professional advisers, auditors, and group entities to protect our legal rights, defend against claims, ensure adherence to regulatory expectations, and maintain the integrity of our operations and the ProgressPlay platform.
Consent
- Marketing communications: We send you electronic marketing communications (such as promotional emails, SMS, push notifications, or in-account messages) only where we have your valid consent or are otherwise permitted by law. You may withdraw your marketing consent at any time via account settings, communication preferences, or by following the unsubscribe instructions in each communication.
- Non-essential cookies and similar technologies: Where required under UK and EU e-privacy rules, we obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies (for example, advertising or certain analytics cookies) on your device. You can change or withdraw your cookie consent at any time, as explained in the "Cookies & Tracking Technologies" section.
- Special categories of data: As a rule, we do not seek to collect special category data (such as health data) via bluefoks.com. If, in limited cases, such data is processed (for example, where you voluntarily share information about gambling-related harms with our responsible gambling team), we will do so only with your explicit consent or where another permitted ground applies under data protection law.
Other Legal Bases and Local Laws
- Protection of vital interests and legal claims: In exceptional circumstances, we may process personal data to protect your vital interests or those of another person (for example, where we reasonably believe there is a serious risk of harm) or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
- Non-UK/EEA users: If you access bluefoks.com from jurisdictions where local data protection laws (such as Mexican privacy laws) apply to you and to us, we will adapt our processing where required to comply with those laws. This Privacy Policy is primarily designed to reflect UK and EU standards, which are generally compatible with many international frameworks.
Purpose of Processing
We use personal data for specific, explicit, and legitimate purposes and do not process it in a manner incompatible with those purposes. Where we intend to use your data for a new purpose, we will inform you and, where required, seek your consent. The main purposes for which Bluefox processes personal data through bluefoks.com are outlined below.

This includes maintaining accurate records of your gaming and transaction history, which are essential both for contractual performance and for regulatory purposes.

- Legal claims and defence: To establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, including processing records and evidence in relation to litigation, regulatory investigations, or disputes with players, affiliates, or other parties.
- Business continuity and restructuring: To maintain backups and business continuity plans, and in the context of a potential or actual corporate transaction (such as a merger, acquisition, or transfer of business) involving the ProgressPlay platform or the Bluefox configuration, subject to appropriate safeguards and, where required, notice to you.
Disclosure & Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share personal data with carefully selected third parties where necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, where required by law, or where you have provided your consent. In all such cases, we limit the data shared to what is strictly necessary and ensure appropriate contractual and technical safeguards are in place.
Service Providers and Technical Partners
- Payment providers and banks: We share data with payment processors, card schemes, banks, and e-wallet providers to process deposits and withdrawals, prevent fraud, perform AML checks, and resolve payment-related issues. These providers usually act as independent controllers or joint controllers for their own compliance obligations.
- Game and platform providers: Certain data (such as your username, session identifiers, and technical information) may be shared with game studios and platform partners to deliver games, calculate outcomes, and ensure fair operation of the gaming system.
- Technology and security providers: We engage hosting providers, cloud infrastructure services, content delivery networks, fraud detection services, security monitoring vendors, and other IT providers who process data on our behalf as processors, subject to strict contractual obligations.
Regulators, Authorities and ADR Bodies
- Regulatory bodies: We may share data with the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, tax authorities, financial intelligence units, and other competent regulators or enforcement agencies where required to comply with licensing, AML/CTF, and other legal obligations.
- Alternative dispute resolution (ADR): If a dispute is referred to an ADR provider such as IBAS, we may share relevant personal data with that body to enable it to handle and resolve the complaint.
- Court proceedings and legal requests: We may disclose data to courts, law enforcement, government agencies, or external legal advisers when necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, or when compelled by law or valid legal process.
Affiliates, Marketing and Analytics Partners
- Affiliate networks: We share limited data (for example, anonymised identifiers and aggregate conversion statistics) with affiliate partners who refer players to bluefoks.com, to verify conversions and calculate commissions.
- Marketing and analytics providers: Subject to your consent where required, we may use third-party tools and platforms for analytics, campaign measurement, and, in some cases, advertising. These providers may act as processors or independent controllers, and you can manage relevant cookies and tracking via your browser and our cookie controls.
- Group companies and business partners: Where permitted by law, we may share data with group entities and selected business partners involved in operating or supporting the ProgressPlay platform, ensuring that all such parties uphold equivalent data protection standards.
Corporate Transactions
- Business transfers: If ProgressPlay Limited or the Bluefox configuration of bluefoks.com is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction, personal data may be disclosed to potential or actual purchasers and their advisers, subject to confidentiality obligations and, where required, appropriate notice to users.
- Anonymised and aggregated data: We may share anonymised or aggregated information that does not reasonably identify you with third parties (for example, for industry analysis or statistical purposes). Such information is not considered personal data under data protection law.
International Transfers
Because Bluefox is operated by ProgressPlay Limited from Malta and relies on a global network of service providers, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area (EEA). These transfers are carried out in compliance with applicable data protection laws and are subject to appropriate safeguards.
Intra-Group and EEA Transfers
- Malta and EEA processing: Much of our core gaming and platform infrastructure is operated from Malta and other EEA locations. From the perspective of UK law, transfers to the EEA are permitted under the UK's adequacy regulations, which recognise the EU/EEA as providing an essentially equivalent level of data protection.
- Internal access: Members of our staff and authorised contractors in Malta and, where relevant, other EEA states may access your data strictly on a need-to-know basis for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, subject to internal access controls and confidentiality obligations.
Transfers to Third Countries
- Non-EEA/UK service providers: Some of our service providers (for example, certain cloud hosting, analytics, or fraud prevention vendors) may be located in or process data from countries that do not benefit from an adequacy decision under UK or EU data protection law (such as the United States or other jurisdictions).
- Transfer safeguards: In these cases, we implement appropriate safeguards, which may include:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved under UK and/or EU law;
- Additional technical and organisational measures (such as strong encryption, pseudonymisation, and strict access controls); and
- Careful assessment of the legal environment of the recipient country and the provider's security practices.
Your Rights in Relation to International Transfers
- Additional information: You may contact us for more details about the safeguards in place for international transfers, including copies of relevant contractual protections (with commercially sensitive information redacted where necessary).
- Local law alignment: Where local data protection laws apply to you (for example, EU GDPR or Mexican privacy laws), we will take them into account in assessing and implementing appropriate transfer mechanisms, provided that we lawfully offer services in your jurisdiction.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, regulatory, accounting, and reporting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the category of data and the context of processing, particularly given the stringent record-keeping obligations applicable to regulated gambling operators.
General Retention Principles
- Purpose-based retention: We determine retention periods by considering the nature of the data, the risks associated with its processing, the purposes for which it is used, and applicable legal requirements (including those under UKGC, MGA, AML, and tax regulations).
- Statutory requirements: Many of our records must be retained for minimum periods mandated by law or regulators, particularly in relation to identity verification, financial transactions, and AML monitoring. These requirements can, in some cases, extend beyond the end of your relationship with us.
Indicative Retention Periods
- Account and identification data: Typically retained for the duration of your active account plus a period of up to five (5) years after account closure, in line with AML and gambling regulatory record-keeping obligations. In some cases, this period may be extended where necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
- Financial and transaction data: Records of deposits, withdrawals, and gaming transactions are generally kept for at least five (5) years from the date of the relevant transaction or from the end of the business relationship, whichever is later, to comply with AML and accounting rules.
- Responsible gambling and risk data: Data relating to self-exclusion, limits, interactions, and internal risk assessments is retained for at least the duration of any active measures plus a period that aligns with regulatory expectations and our legitimate interest in demonstrating compliance (often overlapping with the five-year period above).
- Marketing data: Information about consents and marketing preferences is retained while you remain subscribed and for a limited period thereafter (usually up to two (2) years) to demonstrate compliance with consent requirements and to manage suppression lists ensuring that you do not receive unwanted marketing.
- Cookies and technical logs: Cookie data is retained in accordance with the cookie's lifecycle (as set out in our cookie tools) or until you delete it. Technical and security logs are kept for shorter periods that are sufficient to support security investigations, troubleshooting, and regulatory audits (typically ranging from a few months to a few years, depending on their purpose).
Deletion and Anonymisation
- Account closure: When your account is closed, we will securely delete or anonymise personal data that is no longer required, subject to the legal and regulatory retention obligations described above.
- User requests: Where you request deletion of your data and we have no overriding legal basis to continue processing (for example, no outstanding AML record-keeping requirement), we will delete or anonymise the relevant data in line with your rights under data protection law.
- Anonymised data: In some circumstances, we may convert your personal data into anonymised information for statistical or analytical purposes. Once anonymised, the data will no longer be linked to you, and we may retain and use it indefinitely without further notice.
Your Rights
Under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, and where applicable under the EU GDPR or other local laws, you have several rights in relation to your personal data. Where Mexican privacy laws or other non-UK regulations apply to you because we lawfully offer services in your jurisdiction, similar rights may exist and are supported by our practices. We explain these rights and how to exercise them below.
Key Data Protection Rights
- Right of access: You have the right to obtain confirmation of whether we process your personal data and, if so, to receive a copy of the data along with information about the purposes of processing, categories of data, recipients, retention periods, and your associated rights.
- Right to rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data. In many cases, you can update certain information (such as contact details) directly via your account settings on bluefoks.com, subject to our identity verification and regulatory requirements.
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, where you withdraw consent (and no other legal basis applies), where you successfully object to processing, or where processing is unlawful. This right is limited where continued retention is necessary for compliance with legal obligations (for example, AML record-keeping) or the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
- Right to restriction of processing: You can ask us to restrict processing of your data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest its accuracy, when processing is unlawful but you prefer restriction to deletion, or when we no longer need the data but you require it for legal claims.
- Right to object: You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling related to those interests. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing is necessary for legal claims. You also have an unconditional right to object to direct marketing at any time.
- Right to data portability: Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract and carried out by automated means, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, transmit it directly to another controller.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent (for example, for marketing or certain cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Exercising Your Rights
- How to submit a request: You can exercise your rights by contacting our Data Protection Officer or data protection team using the contact information provided in the "Who We Are" or "Complaints & Contacts" sections, or by using the relevant tools in your bluefoks.com account where available.
- Verification: To protect your account and prevent unauthorised access, we may need to verify your identity before actioning a request. This may involve asking for information that matches our records or, in limited cases, requesting additional documentation.
- Response time: We aim to respond to all valid requests within one (1) month (approximately 30 days) of receipt. In complex or numerous cases, this period may be extended by up to two further months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and reasons.
- Fees: Requests are normally handled free of charge. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive, consistent with legal provisions.
Rights under Non-UK Laws (Including Mexican Law)
- EU/EEA residents: If you are located in the EU/EEA and we lawfully offer you services, you may also have equivalent rights under the EU GDPR. You can exercise these rights through the same contact channels, and you may contact your local supervisory authority in the EEA.
- Mexican residents: Where our services are lawfully offered in Mexico, you may have rights under Mexican data protection law (for example, the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties), including rights that broadly correspond to access, rectification, cancellation, and opposition (often referred to as ARCO rights). We seek to handle requests from Mexican users in a manner consistent with both UK/EU and Mexican standards, subject to local legal requirements.

- Continuous improvement: Following incidents or near-misses, we review root causes and update our security controls, procedures, and training as needed to reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

- Mexican residents: Where our services are lawfully offered in Mexico and Mexican privacy law applies, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent Mexican data protection authority (currently the National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information and Personal Data Protection). You can consult that authority's official resources for current contact details and procedures.
- Gambling-related disputes: For disputes primarily concerning gambling transactions, game outcomes, or terms (rather than data protection issues), you may be able to refer your complaint to the appointed alternative dispute resolution provider (such as IBAS) or to use the UK Gambling Commission's complaint channels, as described in our Terms and Conditions and complaints policy.

Timing and Your Options
- Advance notice for significant changes: Where feasible and required, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice before material changes take effect, particularly where they introduce new purposes of processing or significantly alter existing ones.
