- Customer support: Resolving inquiries, complaints, and technical issues you report to our team.
- Marketing communications: Sending information about promotions, new bonuses, and platform updates — but only if you have given consent to receive such communications.
- Platform enhancement: Analyzing aggregated and anonymized usage patterns to improve the user experience, refine the interface, and develop new features.
- Legal compliance: Meeting reporting obligations, responding to valid court orders, and cooperating with investigations by the relevant authorities.
AWClub applies the principle of "restricted purpose" — data collected for a specific purpose will not be used for any unrelated purpose without your explicit consent.
