Privacy Policy
This privacy policy explains what personal information ReelBank AU collects when you visit the website, why we collect it, how we use it, how long we retain it, and what rights you have under Australian privacy law. The operator of this website is the controller of the personal information described below. Contact details for the operator are published in the legal notice section of the site.
Legal framework
ReelBank AU is operated for an Australian audience and processes personal information in accordance with the *Privacy Act 1988* (Cth) and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) issued by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). Where visitors access the site from the European Union, the United Kingdom or other jurisdictions, we also observe the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act as far as they apply. Last updated: 2026.
What personal information we collect
We only collect information that is reasonably necessary to operate and improve the website. This includes:
- Technical information automatically recorded when you visit the site — IP address (usually truncated for analytics), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, requested pages and timestamps. This data is collected in server access logs and, in a separate form, by our web analytics tool.
- Cookie and similar-technology data — small identifiers placed on your device by the website or by third-party services. See our Cookies Policy for a full list.
- Information you actively provide — for example, the content of any message you send through the contact form, or an email you send to the editorial team.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. This website is intended for adults aged 18 or over.
Why we collect it (purposes of processing)
- Operating the website — delivering pages, protecting against fraud and abuse, diagnosing errors.
- Measuring how the website is used — understanding which content is helpful so we can improve it.
- Answering messages you send us — replying to editorial questions, corrections or press enquiries.
- Legal compliance — retaining minimum records when the law requires it.
Legal basis
Under the Australian Privacy Principles we rely on the necessity of the collection and, where relevant, on your consent — for example when you agree to non-essential cookies through the consent banner. Under the GDPR, where it applies, we rely on Article 6(1)(f) legitimate interests (secure operation, aggregated analytics), on Article 6(1)(a) consent (marketing and analytics cookies), and on Article 6(1)(b) contract / pre-contractual measures (replying to contact-form enquiries).
Analytics
We use privacy-friendly web analytics to count visits and understand which topics are useful. Where the analytics provider requires it, IP addresses are truncated or hashed before storage. Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them through the cookie banner, and you can withdraw consent at any time via the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
Advertising and affiliate links
ReelBank AU may include affiliate links to third-party online casinos. Clicking such a link may redirect you to a third-party website that will process your personal information under its own privacy policy. We do not share your personal information with these operators; we only receive aggregated conversion data (for example, that a click from our site led to a registration, without identifying you personally).
Sharing with third parties
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with the following categories of processors, strictly for the purposes listed above:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers.
- Web analytics providers.
- Anti-spam and security services.
- Email delivery services used to reply to contact-form messages.
Where any of these processors are located outside Australia, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, either by contract or by the mechanisms recognised in the destination country’s law.
Retention
Server access logs are typically retained for up to 30 days for security and diagnostic purposes, then deleted or aggregated. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form only. Contact-form messages are retained for the time reasonably necessary to respond and, where applicable, to keep a record of the correspondence, and then deleted. Cookies are retained for the periods stated in our Cookies Policy.
Your rights
Under the Australian Privacy Principles you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request correction of information you consider inaccurate. Under the GDPR, where it applies, you also have the rights to erasure, restriction, portability and objection to processing based on legitimate interests, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Australia, the relevant authority is the OAIC (oaic.gov.au). To exercise any of these rights, please use the contact form on the site; further contact details are in the legal notice.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include HTTPS encryption of all pages, restricted administrative access, security patches, and regular review of processors. No transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure; you use the site at your own risk.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in the site, in the applicable law, or in our processors. Material changes will be signalled on this page and, where legally required, through a notice on the home page. The current version is dated at the top of the document.
