Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

SweepstakesCasino-Australia.com ("we", "us", "our") is an independent review and information website covering sweepstakes casinos for Australian players. We are not a casino operator and do not process real-money transactions. Correspondence: our editorial team.

2. What data we collect

We collect minimal data to operate this site:

• Analytics data — page views, session duration, approximate location (country/state level), device type and browser. Collected via aggregated analytics tools. No individual identification.
• Contact form submissions — your name and email if you choose to contact us. Used only to respond to your enquiry.
• Cookies — see our Cookie Policy for details. We use essential cookies for site functionality and optional analytics cookies.

3. How we use your data

Data collected is used solely to:

• Understand which content is most useful to our readers (analytics)
• Respond to contact enquiries
• Maintain site security and performance

We do not sell, rent or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Affiliate links and third-party sites

This site contains affiliate links to sweepstakes casino platforms. When you click these links, you leave this site. We have no control over the data practices of linked platforms. Each platform's own privacy policy governs data they collect. Affiliate links are marked with "sponsored" in our link attributes.

5. Cookies

We use cookies to improve your experience. Essential cookies (session, preference) cannot be disabled as they are required for the site to function. Analytics cookies are optional. See the full Cookie Policy for the complete list and opt-out instructions.

6. Your rights under the Australian Privacy Act 1988

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), you have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au if you believe we have breached the APPs

To exercise any of these rights, email: our editorial team.

7. Data retention

Contact form data is retained for 12 months then deleted. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form (no personal identifiers) for up to 24 months for trend analysis.

8. Security

This site is served over HTTPS. We do not store payment data (we process no transactions). Contact form submissions are transmitted over encrypted connections. While we take reasonable steps to protect data, no internet transmission is 100% secure.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

11. Children's privacy

This site is not directed at persons under 18 years of age, consistent with AU gambling platform age requirements. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has submitted information through this site, contact us and we will delete it promptly. Age verification at sweepstakes platforms is mandatory before prize redemption — this site promotes platforms that enforce the 18+ age restriction.

12. Cross-border data transfers

This site uses analytics services that may process data outside Australia. By using this site, you consent to the transfer of aggregated, anonymised usage data to analytics service providers that may operate internationally. No personally identifying data is transferred cross-border through our operations. Individual data requests under the Privacy Act 1988 are processed domestically.

13. Cookies and tracking technologies

See our dedicated Cookie Policy for the full list of cookies, their purposes and opt-out methods. We use Google Analytics in anonymised mode — IP addresses are truncated before processing, preventing individual identification. No advertising tracking pixels are operated by this site directly.
