Privacy Policy
Pokinaut.com ("we," "us," or "our") is an independent casino review and information website for Australian players. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and what choices and rights you have. By using pokinaut.com, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect
We collect two broad categories of information.
Information you provide directly. This includes your name and email address if you sign up for our newsletter, submit a contact form, leave a comment, or otherwise get in touch with us.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our site, we automatically collect certain technical data, including your IP address, browser and device type, operating system, the pages you view, the site that referred you to us, and an approximate location based on your IP address. This data is collected through cookies and similar tracking technologies, described in more detail below.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website and its content;
- Understand how visitors use our site, so we can make it more useful;
- Respond to your messages and send newsletter updates, if you have subscribed;
- Track which casino operators our visitors click through to, for affiliate reporting purposes;
- Meet our legal and regulatory obligations.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use several types of cookies:
- Essential cookies, which are needed for the site to function properly;
- Analytics cookies, which help us understand visitor behavior (e.g. via tools like Google Analytics);
- Affiliate and advertising cookies, which track referrals to casino operators listed on our site, so we can measure the performance of our reviews and recommendations.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect how parts of the site function.
4. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data with:
- Analytics and hosting providers, who help us run and understand the performance of the site;
- Affiliate networks and casino operators, when you click a link from our site to theirs, so that referrals can be tracked;
- Authorities, where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
Please note that once you leave pokinaut.com and visit a linked casino website, that operator's own privacy policy applies to any information you provide there. We encourage you to review their policies separately, as we are not responsible for how third-party sites handle your data.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Once data is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you;
- Request that we correct inaccurate information;
- Request that we delete your information;
- Object to or restrict certain uses of your information;
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below.
7. Withdrawing Consent and Requesting Data Deletion
If you have subscribed to our newsletter or otherwise provided consent for us to process your data, you may withdraw that consent at any time. To do so, or to request that we delete your personal information, please contact us at [insert privacy email, e.g. [email protected]] or through our contact form. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.
8. Age Restriction (18+)
Pokinaut.com and the content it provides, including information about online casinos and gambling, are intended solely for individuals aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
9. International Data Transfers
As our service providers, including hosting and analytics tools, may operate outside of Australia, your information may be processed or stored in other countries. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information continues to be protected in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
