Online Pokies NZ: Privacy Policy and Cookies

Privacy Policy is an important part of our platform rules. By proceeding with our website, every user accepts all the rules, Terms & Conditions, and Privacy Policy (PP). This means we can collect, store, share, and protect your data based on the Privacy Act (PA) 2020 and the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs). Make sure to review our PP before all. If you don’t agree with any statement or rules, please stop using our platform.

What We Collect

We collect the basics needed for the site to function:

  • Profile name, nickname, and optional profile details.
  • Email if you sign up for the newsletter or contact us.
  • Content you contribute: reviews, comments, images, etc.
  • Automatic technical data like IP, PC device, mobile phone, tablet, and browser.
  • Pages you visited.
  • Records of support interactions. 

We are not a casino site or an online bookmaker. We are a review platform, so we don’t collect the information you’re accustomed to on such sites. Moreover, we don’t process payments, so we never ask for payment details. 

Lawful Basis

We collect (+ use) your personal information only when we have a clear reason based on the law:

  • To provide the service you asked for (e.g., posting a comment or sending a newsletter);
  • With your consent, for things like marketing or some cookies.
  • For legitimate purposes such as keeping the site secure and preventing misuse, provided these purposes are balanced with your privacy.

Data Share

We do not sell your personal information. But we still may share data in limited cases:

  • With service providers who run parts of the site, for example, hosting, analytics, content moderation, and email systems. They process data on our instructions.
  • If required by law or to protect people and our rights.

All actions are overseen by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.

Data Protection

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data.

  • Encryption for data in transit and, when appropriate, for stored data.
  • Access control.
  • Routing testing and online monitoring.

How Long Do We Keep Information

We may retain your data for as long as it remains useful for developing our platform and user experience. If you want to delete it, make sure to contact us (in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 and the IPPs). We may also delete it without your consent, but only if we receive a legal request or if it is no longer needed. 

Your Rights

Under the PA 2020, you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal data.
  • Request deletion.
  • Withdraw consent for marketing.

Note! We will ask for proof of identity before releasing sensitive information.

Complaint Policy

If you believe we mishandled your personal information, submit a complaint via the site support with details. We’ll acknowledge receipt, investigate, and respond within 7-20 days. We may request ID to verify you. If unresolved, you can escalate to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.

Cookies and Tracking
