Legal Bases for Processing
Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies to visitors accessing youarena.live, we process personal data on the following legal bases: consent, where you have freely given, specific, and informed agreement (for example, subscribing to our newsletter or accepting non-essential cookies); and legitimate interests, where processing is necessary for our reasonable business purposes, such as affiliate tracking, site analytics, and security monitoring, provided those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights. In limited circumstances, we may also process data to comply with a legal obligation. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.
Third Parties & Affiliate Links
Youarena.live contains affiliate links to licensed casino operators. When you click these links, you leave our site and enter a third-party platform governed by its own privacy policy. We receive a commission when you register or deposit via our referral link; however, we do not share your personal details with those operators directly. We also use third-party analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) who may set their own cookies and process data on our behalf under data processing agreements. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any external websites linked from youarena.live, and we encourage you to review their policies independently.

- Right to Object: You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing activities.
- Right to Restrict Processing: You may request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.

Analytics and affiliate tracking data is typically retained for no longer than 26 months. Contact and newsletter data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, data is securely deleted or anonymised.
