Privacy Policy

Introduction

This policy explains what information we handle when you read our pages, how it is used and which choices you keep over it. We run an editorial resource rather than a gambling operator, so we do not open player accounts, hold balances or process deposits and withdrawals. Our aim is to keep data collection at the minimum a website needs to function and improve. By continuing to use the site you accept the practices described below.

What information we collect

Most visitors never send us anything beyond ordinary technical data. We may record the following:

• Technical data such as browser type, device category, approximate region, referring page and the time of a visit.
• Usage data showing which pages were opened, how long a session lasted and which links were clicked.
• Contact details you type yourself, including a name, an email address and the message you send us.
• Cookie identifiers stored by your browser, which keep settings and support traffic measurement.

Why we use it

Technical and usage data help us see which material readers find useful and where a page loads or reads poorly. Contact details are used for one purpose only: replying to the question you asked us. Aggregated statistics guide decisions about new guides, updates to older reviews and fixes to the site itself. We do not build advertising profiles and we do not sell information about our readers to anyone.

Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small files placed by your browser that remember preferences and count visits. Some are necessary for the site to work, while others belong to analytics services that report traffic in summary form. You can delete stored cookies or refuse new ones in your browser settings, although parts of the site may then behave differently. Analytics providers act under their own privacy terms, which we recommend reading if you want the full picture.

Links to third parties

Our pages point to casino operators, payment services and support organisations that we do not control. Once you follow such a link, the data you provide is governed by that company’s own policy and not by ours. We are not responsible for their forms, registration steps or verification requests, and we hold no copy of what you submit there. Check the terms of any external site before entering personal or payment details.

Storage and security

Traffic is transmitted over an encrypted connection, and access to messages sent through our forms is limited to the people who answer them. We keep correspondence only as long as the enquiry needs, then remove it from our systems. Statistical records are held in a form that does not identify a single reader. No online service can promise absolute protection, so we work to reduce what we store in the first place.

Your rights

Under New Zealand privacy law you may ask what information about you we hold, request a correction or ask for its deletion. You can also withdraw consent to non-essential cookies at any point through your browser. Write to us and we will confirm the request, respond within a reasonable period and explain the outcome in plain terms. Where we cannot meet a request, we say why instead of leaving it unanswered.

Minors

Our content is written for adults aged 18 and over and is not intended for anyone younger. We do not knowingly gather data from minors, and any such information found in our records is deleted. Parents who share a device with children should protect access to it and consider filtering software. Gambling material is not suitable for underage readers under any circumstances.

Updates to this policy

We revise this page when our tools change or when legal requirements in New Zealand are updated. The current version always applies from the moment it appears on the site, so it is worth rereading occasionally. Substantial changes to how we handle reader data will be described in the text rather than hidden in wording. Questions about anything written here can be sent to our team, and we will reply.
