Privacy Policy

What personal data casinycasino.jp.net collects, why, how long we keep it, who it is shared with, and the rights you have over it under Australian and EU law.

1. Who We Are

casinycasino.jp.net is an independent online casino review platform run from Sydney, Australia. We are not a casino. We don't operate gambling services, take deposits or process withdrawals, and we don't hold player accounts. Our data processing is narrow to match — we're an informational publisher, and our privacy obligations reflect that.

The casino we review, Casiny Casino, is a separate legal entity run by a third party under a Government of Tobique licence. Its privacy practices are governed by its own policy, on its own site, and are entirely outside our control.

2. What Personal Data We Collect

2.1 Information you give us directly

When you contact us by email, we receive:

2.2 Information we collect automatically

When you visit any page on this site, our hosting infrastructure and analytics tools automatically collect:

We don't collect your real name, home address, phone number, financial details or government identifiers through any automatic mechanism, and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.

3. Why We Collect Your Data

Purpose Data used Legal basis (where GDPR applies)
Responding to your enquiryContact form data, emailLegitimate interest / consent
Site analytics (aggregate traffic trends)Anonymised IP, pages viewed, device typeLegitimate interest
Affiliate attribution (tracking referrals)Click identifier passed to operatorLegitimate interest
Security and abuse preventionIP address, user-agent, request patternsLegitimate interest
Compliance with legal obligationsServer logsLegal obligation

We don't use your data to build advertising profiles, we don't run remarketing, and we don't sell, rent or trade personal data to third parties for marketing.

4. Third Parties Who Process Data on Our Behalf

We rely on a small number of processors to run the site. Each has its own privacy policy, which supersedes ours for the specific processing they do:

Where these processors move data internationally, we rely on their standard contractual clauses and the adequacy mechanisms they publish. Each third party lists its full set of sub-processors in its own documentation.

5. How Long We Retain Data

Category Retention period
Contact-form submissions and email correspondence12 months after last interaction, unless longer is needed to resolve an ongoing matter
Server access logs (full IP)90 days
Aggregated analytics (GA4, no PII)Up to 26 months per GA4 default retention
Affiliate click eventsPer the affiliate network's policy, typically up to 24 months
Editorial records required by correction policyRetained as long as the corresponding article is live, for audit of the correction log

When a retention period ends, the data is deleted or anonymised. Backups are rotated on a shorter cycle and expire naturally.

6. Your Rights

6.1 Under Australian law (Privacy Act 1988, APPs)

As an Australian resident, you have the right to:

6.2 Under EU/UK law (GDPR / UK GDPR), where applicable

If you are a resident of the EU or the UK, you additionally have rights to data portability, restriction of processing, objection to processing, and the right to be forgotten (erasure), subject to the usual legal exceptions.

6.3 How to exercise your rights

Email info with "Privacy" in the subject line. We will respond within 30 days. We will verify your identity before disclosing any personal data. The process is documented on the contact page.

Exercising your rights costs nothing. If a request is clearly unfounded or excessive — repeated requests for the same data, for instance — we may charge a reasonable fee or decline to act, as the law permits.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, security and basic site function. A full list — each cookie's purpose, its retention and how to manage it in your browser — is on the cookie policy page. You can block or clear non-essential cookies any time from your browser settings.

8. International Transfers

Our main processors (Cloudflare, Google Analytics) run global infrastructure, which means personal data may be moved to or accessed from jurisdictions outside Australia — usually the United States and Europe. Those transfers sit under the processors' standard contractual clauses and adequacy mechanisms, as set out in their own privacy policies.

Where you have the legal right to object to international transfer, you can exercise it by emailing the privacy address above. In practice, objecting typically means asking us to delete the data rather than restrict its location.

9. Data Security

The site runs over TLS 1.2+ with modern cipher suites, and the admin side of the hosting uses two-factor authentication. Contact-form submissions and email correspondence sit in a mailbox protected by provider-side encryption and 2FA. Within the small team, access to personal data is limited to whoever needs it for the task at hand.

No online system is perfectly secure. If a breach affects your personal information, we'll notify those affected and the OAIC under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme in Australian law, along with any equivalent GDPR obligations where they apply.

10. Minors and Under-18s

This site, the review, and all casinos discussed on it are for adults aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted information to this site, please email info and we will delete the submission. Our broader position on minors and gambling is on the responsible gambling page.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We revise this policy when our practices change — adding or dropping a processor, adjusting retention periods, or responding to a shift in legal obligations. Any material change moves the "last updated" date at the top of this page, and for significant changes we post a short notice at the top of the homepage and the policy page for at least 30 days.

This document is the current, authoritative version of our privacy practices. Historic versions are available on request through the contact page. This policy works alongside our terms and affiliate disclosure; for who we are and how we work, see about, the reviewer, how we test and how we rate, with all pages on the sitemap.

Responsible gambling — 18+ Gambling can be addictive. If play stops being fun, stop. Free confidential help for Australian residents is available from Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) and BetStop (national self-exclusion register).
