3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect information about you:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyse website traffic and user behaviour. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous data, including your IP address (which is anonymised), pages visited, time on site, and referral sources. This data helps us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it. Google's privacy policy can be found at policies.google.com/privacy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Affiliate Partners

When you click on affiliate links on our website, you will be redirected to third-party casino websites. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies and data collection practices, which are independent of ours. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit. Affiliate tracking cookies may be placed on your device to attribute referrals. These cookies are managed by the respective affiliate programmes, not by us directly.

4. Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us provide and improve our services. For detailed information about the cookies we use and how to manage them, please see our Cookie Policy.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share anonymised, aggregated data with third parties for analytics purposes. We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

6. Data Retention

We retain automatically collected analytics data for a period of up to 26 months, after which it is automatically deleted. Any personal information you provide via email correspondence will be retained for as long as necessary to address your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter, unless you request its deletion.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, including:

  • Right of access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to rectification: You can request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You acknowledge that you provide your information at your own risk.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than New Zealand, including countries where our third-party service providers (such as Google) operate their servers.
