Oneida Casino Privacy Policy

The Oneida Casino and its affiliates (collectively referred to in this Policy as “Oneida Casino,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and other similar pronouns) know your privacy is important to you, and it is important to us as well. We created this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) to explain the types of information we collect through the Oneida Casino Sportsbook Application (“App”), Oneida Casino Sportsbook kiosks and retail locations (collectively “Services”). We created  this Policy to explain how we will collect, use, disclose and protect this information once collected. 

Here are a few general principles to keep in mind as you read through this Policy:

  • The Oneida Nation amended its Gaming Compact with the State  of Wisconsin to expand into sports betting services within the Oneida Reservation. The services currently operate pursuant to permit issued by the Oneida Gaming Commission and the Oneida Gaming Compact executed with the State of Wisconsin and approved by the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, in accordance with Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA).
  • The Oneida Nation is a federally recognized tribal government possessing sovereign powers and rights of self-government. Nothing in this Policy waives the Oneida Nation’s sovereign immunity.  
  • Please read this Policy carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use the services (but note that you still have certain opt-out rights under this Policy, as described below). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to this Policy. As our business evolves, this Policy may change (see “Changes to this Privacy Policy” section below), so check back to this page periodically to make sure you understand how your Personal Information will be processed.
  • Advertisements displayed to you on the Services and elsewhere may be customized to your interests and preferences based on your Personal Information and Web site and mobile application usage information collected over time across our Services and other online properties.
  • We are not responsible for the information collection or privacy practices of other web sites, including web sites accessible through the App. You should review and understand the privacy policies posted on any linked sites you visit before using those sites or providing any personal information on them.

What Personal Information Do We Collect?

“Personal Information” is any information that can be used to identify you as an individual. We collect different categories of Personal Information from different sources, including Personal Information you provide directly to us (“User-Provided Information” described below) and Personal Information we collect through your use       of our Services (“Service Usage Information” described below).  Specifically, in order to use the App, you must register for a wagering account (“Wagering Account”). When you register for a Wagering Account, we may access and collect the information you provide (including your name, postal address, e-mail address, and date of birth) by which you can be personally identified. We may also ask you for additional information including your mobile phone number, social security number, and a government-issued photo identification such as your driver’s license, state identification card, or passport. We will also verify whether you have a current Players’ Club Account. If you do not have a current Players’ Club Account, you will be required to create a Players’ Club Account as part of the registration process, which will require you to register in person at a designated Oneida Casino location.  The App is intended for persons 21 or older. If you are under 21, you may not access or attempt to access or use the App. We do not knowingly collect or allow the collection of personal information from persons under 21.

When Do We Collect User-Provided Information?

We collect User-Provided Information when you create an account on the Services; login to your account; place a wager or conduct any other transaction on the Services; sign up for our communications; enter contests or sweepstakes; complete  surveys; contribute to our online forums; communicate or transact with other users; or submit a comment or question to us using a “contact us” or similar feature on the        Services.

Unless otherwise noted on an online form, you are required to provide to us all Personal Information requested to register your account, complete your transaction, or make your request. If you do not provide the required Personal Information, you will not be able to place your wager or conduct your transaction or we may not be able to respond to your request. An example of this is your payment card information, billing address and mailing address when you make a transaction, or your email address when you sign up to receive emails from us.

A referral or similar tool may be provided on the Services and/or in our emails that allows you to send information about our offerings to another person. When you use  these offerings, we may ask you for the name and information of the other person, and that information will be handled pursuant to this Policy.

We will retain the information we collect about you as long as your Wagering Account is active.

You may access, update, and correct inaccuracies in your personal information which is in our custody and control by visiting the location where you registered for your Wagering Account or another Oneida Casino designated location.

How Do We Protect Your Information?

Information collected by us through the App is stored on secure servers located in the United States. The United States may not offer a level of privacy protection as great as that offered in other jurisdictions. We make no representation that the practices described in this Policy are compliant with laws outside of the United States.

Our servers are protected by firewalls and other industry standard security measures. These security measures are intended to protect our servers from unauthorized access. However, no security system is impenetrable, and these systems could become accessible in the event of a security breach. We have controls in place that are designed to detect potential data breaches, contain and minimize the loss of data, and conduct forensic investigations of a breach.

Our staff is required to take reasonable measures to ensure that unauthorized persons cannot view or access your personal information. Employees who violate our privacy policies are subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

We cannot enforce or control the security of the computers, electronic devices, or electronic communication method that you may use to send e-mails and submit information to us over the Internet. You are responsible for ensuring that the computers, electronic devices and electronic communication methods you use will provide adequate security for communicating with us. We are not responsible for the disclosure or interception of information that you send us before we receive it.

As a standard security practice, we will take reasonable steps which are generally recognized in the industry to ensure that the communication methods used to support the App do not permit connection or communication by methods that have known security weaknesses or vulnerabilities. As such, if you experience trouble using the App, it may be an indication that you need to upgrade your internet browsing tool or application to a newer version that supports more secure communication methods.

In situations where your personal information is collected by third parties under contract with us for performance of their contractual duties and other purposes, we require such third parties to exercise reasonable care to protect that information and restrict the use of your personal information to the purposes for which it was provided. When we share your personal information with Oneida Affiliates or third parties in accordance with this Policy, we require them to exercise reasonable care to protect such information and restrict the use of such information to the purposes for which it was provided to them.

How Are Changes to this Privacy Policy Made?

We may change this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will let you know by posting the changed Policy on this page with a new “Effective Date”. In some cases  (for example, if we significantly expand our use or sharing of your Personal Information), we may also tell you about changes by additional means, such as by sending an email to the email address we have on file for you. In some cases, we may request your consent to the changes.
