Privacy Policy
Who We Are
This privacy policy applies to the website coincasino-free.com, operated by the Australasian Gambling Safety Journal. For privacy enquiries, contact us at [email protected].
What Data We Collect
Data you provide directly
This site does not have user accounts, comment systems, or contact forms that collect personal data by default. If you contact us via email, we retain your email address and the contents of your message for the purpose of responding to your enquiry.
Data collected automatically
Like most websites, our server may log standard access data including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This data is used for security monitoring and aggregate traffic analysis. It is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Cookies and analytics
This site may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to collect anonymised information about how visitors use the site — pages viewed, time on site, general geographic region. This data does not identify you personally. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Affiliate Links and Third-Party Tracking
This site contains affiliate links to third-party gambling operators. When you click an affiliate link, the affiliate network (currently Univerns) may set a tracking cookie on your device to attribute any subsequent sign-up or deposit to this site. This tracking is handled by the third-party affiliate network, not by us directly.
We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of the affiliate networks or gambling operators our links point to. Their privacy policies govern how they handle your data once you visit their sites.
How We Use Your Data
We use collected data only for:
- Responding to direct email enquiries
- Security monitoring and preventing abuse
- Aggregate, anonymised site analytics to improve content
We do not sell personal data. We do not send marketing emails.
Data Retention
Email correspondence is retained for up to 2 years. Server access logs are typically retained for 30–90 days depending on our hosting provider's standard configuration. Analytics data is retained in anonymised, aggregate form.
Your Rights
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), you have the right to request access to any personal information we hold about you, and to request correction of inaccurate information. To make such a request, contact [email protected].
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when our data practices change. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects when changes were last made.
