PRIVACY POLICY

Current as of April 18, 2022

Please read this Privacy Statement and the BigChipCasino Casino Terms of Service prior to using, accessing, or downloading the BigChipCasino Casino or any related website, application, or software.

BigChipCasino Casino is a business product of Boyd Gaming Corporation ("Boyd Gaming"). This Privacy Statement applies to the BigChipCasino Casino as well as any related website, application or software that links to this Privacy Statement, collectively referred to as "the Services," and does not apply to any website, mobile app, or product operated by Boyd Gaming that has a separate privacy policy, notice, or statement.

This Privacy Statement explains the information we collect, and how we collect, use and, in certain circumstances, share your information in connection with the Service(s) we provide you. If you have any questions, feel free to email us. Please note that, if you interact with Boyd Gaming in other contexts besides through the Services, such as by signing up to become a Boyd Rewards member or by using the Boyd Gaming website, Boyd Gaming's collection, use, and disclosure of your information will be subject to the Boyd Gaming Privacy Statement.


Information We Collect and How We Use It.

You may access the Services as a guest without providing any information other than your date of birth and the information described in the "Automatically Collected Information" section below. When accessing the Services as a Boyd Rewards member, we will collect your Boyd Rewards credentials (Boyd Rewards member number or username and associated Boyd Rewards online account password). We automatically collect some information when you access or use the Services and collect other information when you voluntarily provide it to us. If you elect not to provide certain information, you may be prevented from participating in some of the Services.

We may also collect information about you from other sources, such as publicly available or commercially available information.

We may collect information from you when you access or use the Services, including, for example:

  • Registration information (identifiers such as your date of birth, Boyd Rewards username and Boyd Rewards password);
  • Purchase and other transaction information if you make a purchase (we use a third-party service provider for these transactions, so while we receive information about the transaction, such as what you purchased, we do not receive your billing or payment information);
  • Demographic information such as your gender and age;
  • Social network platform user information if you access the Services through our social network community page (including information that is visible on your social network page if you have allowed this through the privacy settings on your social network account);

  • Information that you may post on the Services through in-game play, comments, reviews, support tickets, or other posts. You control the information that you provide in this way and this information may include actions you perform with other players; all such information, excluding support tickets, can be viewed by the general public so please take that into consideration when you post;
  • Inferences based on the information described above and other information described in this Privacy Statement; and

If you experience an error, we collect information about the error, the time the error occurred, the feature being used, the state of the application when the error occurred, and any communications or content provided at the time the error occurred. All of this information allows us to understand how the Services are used, improve the Services, and communicate with you, both for customer support and to suggest other products or services that may be of interest to you.

We may collect information about your location, including precise location information derived from GPS, WiFi, and other device information, with your consent if required by law and consistent with your mobile device or app permissions. Also consistent with your mobile device or app permissions, we may send you push notifications.

For example, if you access any social media or similar services through the Services to login or to share information about your experience on our Services with others, we may collect information from these third-party services.

We may aggregate or de-identify the information you provide or that we collect automatically. Aggregated or de-identified data is not subject to this Privacy Policy. Because aggregated or de-identified information does not individually identify you or any other individual, we may use and disclose such information for any purpose.
