Protecting Your Information
We use administrative, technical and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, alteration, loss or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, authentication procedures, monitoring, secure transmission methods and staff confidentiality requirements.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential, using a secure device and notifying us if you believe your account or personal information has been compromised. We may restrict access, suspend an account or take other protective steps when a security risk is identified.
If a data incident occurs, we will assess it and take steps that are appropriate to the circumstances, including notifications where required by applicable law.
How Long We Keep Data
We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy, including account administration, customer support, dispute handling, security, financial reporting and compliance obligations.
Retention periods vary according to the type of information, the reason for collection, the sensitivity of the data and whether a legal or business need requires continued storage. When information is no longer required, we may securely delete it, anonymise it or place it beyond ordinary use.
Some information may remain in backups for a limited period after deletion from active systems. In those circumstances, access is restricted and the information is removed or overwritten through normal backup processes.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law and the circumstances of the request, you may have rights relating to your personal information. These may include the ability to:
- Ask whether we hold personal information about you and request access to it.
- Request correction of information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
- Ask for deletion of information where there is no continuing lawful or operational reason to retain it.
- Object to, or request limits on, certain uses of your information.
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, without affecting earlier processing.
- Opt out of promotional communications by using the available unsubscribe option or contacting us.
- Request a copy of certain information in a usable format where data portability applies.
These rights are not absolute. We may need to retain information, refuse a request or limit its scope where necessary to protect another person, prevent fraud, maintain security, resolve a dispute or meet a legal obligation. We may also ask for information to verify your identity before responding.
Services Operated by Others
The Pokiesurf Casino website may contain links, integrations or features provided by third parties. These may include payment services, verification tools, advertising platforms, social features, game suppliers or analytics providers.
When you use a third-party service, that provider may collect and use information under its own privacy notice and terms. Pokiesurf Casino does not control the privacy practices of independent providers and recommends reviewing their policies before submitting personal information. A link or integration does not necessarily mean that Pokiesurf Casino endorses every practice of the relevant provider.
Processing Outside Australia
Pokiesurf Casino and its service providers may process or store information in Australia or in other countries. The privacy protections in those locations may differ from those available in your place of residence.
Where information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the transfer is conducted for an appropriate purpose and that suitable contractual, technical or organisational protections are applied. Information may also be transferred where necessary to provide a service, process a payment, prevent fraud, provide support or meet a legal requirement.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, business arrangements or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted on the relevant website page with an updated effective date where appropriate.
Changes generally apply from the time they are published unless a different commencement date is stated. If an update is significant, we may provide an additional notice through the website, by email or through your account. You should review this page periodically to remain informed about how Pokiesurf Casino handles personal information.
