Privacy Policy

Information we may collect

When you visit or use Whackaus Casino, we may collect information that identifies you, relates to your account or helps us operate the website. The type and amount of information collected can vary depending on how you use the site, which services you request and whether you contact customer support. Some information is provided directly by you, while other information may be collected automatically when you browse or use the website.

Account and contact information

This may include your name, date of birth, residential details, username, login details, email address, telephone details and other information needed to create and manage an account. We may also keep records of communications with you, including support enquiries, complaints, requests and messages sent through the website. These records help us understand your question, provide consistent support, resolve disputes and maintain an accurate history of account-related activity.

Identity and verification information

To help confirm your identity, age and eligibility to use relevant services, we may request verification information and documents. These may include identity documents, proof of address or other information reasonably needed for verification. We may review this information to help prevent identity misuse, account takeover, fraud, money laundering and other prohibited or unlawful activity. Access to verification information is limited to people or service providers who need it for an appropriate purpose.

Payment and transaction records

We may collect and retain information about deposits, withdrawals, wagers, account balances, payment methods and other transactions connected with your account. Payment information may be processed by payment providers, and we may receive relevant confirmation or transaction details without receiving or storing every element of your payment credentials. Transaction records help us operate your account, answer payment enquiries, identify unusual activity, prevent fraud and meet record-keeping obligations.

Device, usage and cookie information

When you access the website, we may collect technical and usage information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, language settings, approximate location, pages viewed, access times, referral information and interactions with website features. We may use cookies, pixels, local storage and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep the site functioning, understand usage and improve performance. This information may be combined with account information where appropriate.

How we use personal information

Personal information is used for purposes connected with providing and managing the website and its services. We seek to collect and use information that is relevant to the purpose for which it is handled. Depending on the circumstances, information may be used for the following purposes:

• Creating, verifying, administering and securing your account.
• Processing account activity, payments, transactions and service requests.
• Confirming identity, age and eligibility where required.
• Carrying out anti-fraud, anti-money-laundering, security and risk checks.
• Detecting, investigating and preventing suspicious, unlawful, abusive or prohibited conduct.
• Providing customer support and responding to questions, complaints and privacy requests.
• Operating, maintaining, testing and improving the website, systems and user experience.
• Sending service messages about your account, transactions, security or important changes.
• Sending marketing communications where permitted and where you have provided an appropriate choice or consent.
• Meeting legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, dispute-resolution and record-keeping obligations.
• Protecting the rights, property, safety and security of players, the website and relevant service providers.

We may use information to create internal records, assess risk or produce aggregated and de-identified statistics. Information used in this way is intended not to identify you personally. We do not use personal information for a purpose that is incompatible with the reason it was collected unless permitted or required by applicable requirements, or where another lawful basis applies.

Marketing and communications

We may send information about services, features or offers where this is permitted and consistent with your communication choices. You can usually opt out of promotional messages by using the unsubscribe option in the relevant message or by contacting us. You may also withdraw consent to marketing by contacting support@whackauscasino.best. Opting out of marketing does not stop essential service communications, such as account, transaction, security or policy notices.

Cookies

Cookies are small files or similar technologies placed on your device when you visit a website. Some are necessary for core functions, including login sessions, security and account features. Others help remember preferences, measure website performance and understand how visitors use the site. You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some website features operate, and settings can vary between browsers and devices.

Sharing, security and retention

We may share information with carefully selected providers that help operate the website or deliver requested services. These may include payment and transaction providers, identity and verification services, technology and hosting providers, customer support tools, security and fraud-prevention services, analytics providers, professional advisers and other service providers acting on our instructions. Providers should only receive information relevant to their role and are expected to handle it securely and appropriately.

Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to protect users or the website, investigate suspected misconduct, enforce applicable terms, respond to legal processes, comply with a lawful request or meet an obligation that applies to the service. If the business or part of its operations changes ownership, information may be transferred as part of that change, subject to appropriate protections.

Security measures

We use reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, misuse or loss. These measures may include access controls, authentication, monitoring, secure connections and internal procedures. No website, online transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Players should protect their passwords, use suitable device security and contact support promptly if they suspect unauthorised account activity.

Storage and retention

Information may be stored or processed by service providers in Australia or other locations, depending on the systems used to operate the website. Where information is handled outside Australia, appropriate steps are taken to support its protection and lawful handling. Some records must be kept for a period required by law even after an account is closed. This can include account, verification, payment, transaction, communication and security records.

Closing an account does not automatically erase every record. Information may need to be retained for legal, financial, compliance, fraud-prevention, dispute-handling or evidentiary purposes. When information is no longer required, it may be securely deleted, destroyed or de-identified, subject to applicable obligations and legitimate operational needs.

Your privacy rights and requests

You may have rights and choices regarding personal information held about you. These rights can depend on the circumstances, the type of information involved and applicable requirements. We may need to confirm your identity before completing a request so that information is not disclosed or changed for the wrong person.

How to exercise your data rights

To ask to access your personal information, request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information, request deletion of your data, or withdraw consent to marketing, contact support@whackauscasino.best. Please describe your request clearly and include enough information for us to understand which account or records it concerns. Do not send unnecessary payment credentials or sensitive documents by email. We may ask for reasonable information to verify your identity before dealing with your request.

• Access: ask for information about the personal data we hold and, where appropriate, a copy of that information.
• Correction: ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, outdated or incomplete.
• Deletion: ask us to delete personal information where it is no longer needed or where deletion is otherwise available.
• Marketing consent: withdraw consent or change your choices for promotional communications at any time.
• Restriction or objection: in some circumstances, ask us to limit or stop particular uses of your information.

Deletion, restriction or objection may not be available where we need to retain or use information for security, dispute handling, account administration or a period required by law. If a request cannot be completed in full, we may explain the reason, subject to security, confidentiality and legal limits. We will review privacy enquiries and respond in a reasonable manner.

Policy changes and contact

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, systems, practices or applicable requirements change. The updated version will be made available on the website, and a date or other notice may be changed when appropriate. Players should review this page from time to time. If you have a privacy question, concern or request, contact support@whackauscasino.best.
