Best Casino Australia is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors to this website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose and protect personal information, and outlines your rights in relation to that information. We handle personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained within it.
By using this website, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please do not use the site.
This Privacy Policy applies to the website operated under the Best Casino Australia brand. References to "we", "us" and "our" mean the editorial team responsible for the site. Our contact details are set out at the end of this policy.
We collect only the minimum personal information necessary to operate the site and respond to enquiries. The information we may collect includes:
We do not collect sensitive information as defined under the Privacy Act 1988 (such as health information, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions or sexual orientation). We do not collect government identifiers such as Tax File Numbers.
This website is a casino review and comparison site. We do not operate any gambling services and we do not collect financial information, payment details, or gambling activity data. Any registration, deposit, withdrawal or gameplay information is handled directly by the third-party casino operators we link to under their own privacy policies.
We collect personal information directly from you when you email us, submit a feedback form, or otherwise interact with our site. We collect technical and cookie-based information automatically when you visit any page on this website.
We use personal information only for the purposes for which it was collected, including:
We will not use your personal information for any unrelated secondary purpose unless you have consented or unless permitted under the Privacy Act 1988.
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information. We may disclose personal information to:
Some of our service providers — particularly hosting, analytics and email tools — may be located outside Australia. Where this is the case, we take reasonable steps to ensure they handle your personal information in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. Full details, including how to disable cookies in your browser, are set out in our Cookie Policy.
This website contains affiliate links to third-party casino operators. When you click through to one of these operators and register or deposit, the operator may share with us a limited tracking parameter to credit us for the referral. This tracking does not contain personally identifying information from us and is handled within the affiliate platform under the operator's own privacy terms.
Third-party casino operators have their own privacy policies, terms of service and data handling practices. We are not responsible for the information practices of any third party and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before registering or providing any personal or financial information.
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These steps include secure hosting, encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls and routine review of our practices. However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of any information transmitted to or from the site.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Email correspondence is typically retained for 24 months unless a longer retention period is required for legal or operational reasons. Technical and analytics data is retained according to the retention settings of the relevant service providers, typically between 14 months and 26 months.
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, you have the following rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you:
To exercise any of these rights, please email [email protected]. We will respond within a reasonable time and within 30 days where a response is required by the Privacy Act.
If you believe we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles or otherwise mishandled your personal information, please contact us first at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your complaint within five business days and respond substantively within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au or by calling 1300 363 992.
This website is intended for use only by persons aged 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a minor, we will delete that information promptly.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in Australian privacy law. The "Last Update" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised. Material changes will be communicated through a notice on this page. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
