Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data is collected on this independent information website about Kingmaker Casino, how we process it and what rights you have in relation to it. Our website is directed at users in Australia. The handling of your data is governed by the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). Data is processed solely for the purposes described below.
What Data We Collect
When you visit this website, certain technical data is automatically recorded. This includes your device’s IP address, browser type and version, operating system, the URL accessed, the referring website and the date and time of access. This data is stored in server log files and is used solely to ensure the technical operation of the website. It is automatically deleted after a maximum of 7 days.
If you contact us via the contact form or by email, we collect the information you voluntarily provide – typically your email address and the content of your message. Additional personal details such as your name or phone number are only collected if you choose to include them.
Where analytics cookies are enabled, aggregated usage data is also collected: page views, time spent on site and general browsing behaviour. This data cannot be traced back to you personally and is evaluated in anonymised form only. It is not linked to any other personal data.
Sharing Data with Third Parties
Your personal data is not sold to third parties or shared for advertising purposes. Data is only disclosed to external parties in the following clearly defined circumstances.
We work with service providers who assist with the technical operation of this website – such as hosting providers and analytics services. These providers act as data processors and may only process your data in accordance with our instructions. We have data processing agreements in place with all relevant service providers.
Where this website includes affiliate links to external casino sites, technical information such as your IP address may be collected by the operator of the linked site when you click through. We are not responsible for data processing on external websites and recommend reading the privacy policies of any linked sites.
Data is only transferred outside of Australia where an adequate level of data protection is ensured – for example, through contractual safeguards or where the destination country has been recognised as providing comparable privacy protections.
How We Use Your Data
Technical access data is used solely to ensure the stable and secure operation of this website. It is not used for any further purpose, including the creation of user profiles.
Data you send us via email or a contact form is used solely to handle your enquiry. Once your enquiry has been fully resolved, this data is deleted, provided no legal retention obligation applies. We do not share your contact details with third parties or use them for marketing purposes unless you have given your explicit consent.
Anonymised analytics data is used to improve the quality of our content. We analyse which pages are visited most frequently, how long visitors spend on particular content and which topics generate the most interest. These insights help us create more relevant and accessible content. No personal data is used in this analysis.
The legal basis for processing varies depending on the purpose and may include: the need to handle your enquiry, compliance with a legal obligation, or our legitimate interest in operating a secure and functional website.
Cookies and Tracking
This website uses cookies – small text files stored in your browser when you visit. Essential cookies are set without separate consent, as they are necessary for the technical operation of the site. For all other categories, we obtain your explicit consent via our cookie banner.
Analytics cookies – such as those from Google Analytics – collect anonymised usage behaviour and are stored for up to 26 months. Functional cookies that remember your preferences remain active for up to 12 months. Third-party marketing cookies have a lifespan of up to 90 days and are only set with your consent.
You can adjust or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time using the relevant link in the footer of this website. You can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies may limit the functionality of the website. A detailed breakdown of the cookies we use can be found in our separate Cookie Policy.
How Long We Retain Your Data
We only store personal data for as long as necessary for the relevant purpose, or as required by law.
Server log files containing technical access data are automatically deleted after a maximum of 7 days. Data from contact enquiries is deleted after the matter has been fully resolved – generally within 60 days of completion. Where data retention obligations apply under Australian law, the relevant data is retained for the required period and then permanently deleted.
Anonymised analytics data is not subject to deletion requirements under privacy law, as it cannot be attributed to any individual. Cookie-related data is automatically removed in accordance with the timeframes set out in our Cookie Policy. Upon request, we can delete your personal data ahead of the standard retention periods, provided no legal obligation prevents us from doing so.
How We Protect Your Data
The protection of your personal data is a high priority for us. We use a range of technical and organisational measures to prevent unauthorised access, loss or misuse.
All data transmitted between your browser and our web server is encrypted via HTTPS using TLS 1.2 or higher. This ensures your data cannot be intercepted or altered in transit. Our SSL certificate is regularly renewed and reviewed.
At server level, our systems are protected by firewalls and access controls. Physical and digital access to servers is restricted to authorised personnel only. Hosting providers are carefully selected and must demonstrate that they meet appropriate security standards.
Internally, access to personal data is limited to what is strictly necessary. Staff members with access to personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations. In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and any affected individuals as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme.
