This policy applies to all personal data collected from users located in Australia and governs how GW Casino Australia collects, processes, stores, shares, and protects that data. We encourage all users to read this document carefully and to contact us at [email protected] if they have any questions or concerns.

Marketing Communication

With your consent, GW Casino may use your contact information to send you promotional materials, bonus offers, news, and other marketing communications relevant to our services. This consent is typically obtained during the account registration process, where you may choose to opt in to receiving such communications.

You retain the right to withdraw your consent to marketing communications at any time. To opt out, you may:

• Click the unsubscribe link included in any marketing email you receive from GW Casino
• Update your communication preferences within your account settings
• Send a written request to [email protected] requesting removal from our marketing list

Upon receipt of an opt-out request, we will action your request promptly and within a reasonable timeframe. Please note that withdrawing consent to marketing does not affect the legality of processing that occurred prior to your withdrawal, nor does it affect the processing of data necessary for the operation of your account or our legal compliance obligations.

Obtaining Personal Information

GW Casino collects personal data through a variety of means, both directly from you and from authorised third-party sources. The primary methods of data collection include:

• Directly from you when you register an account, complete identity verification, make deposits or withdrawals, or contact our support team
• Automatically through our website and technical infrastructure, including the use of cookies, tracking technologies, and server logs
• From third-party identity verification providers engaged to assist with KYC compliance
• From payment service providers and financial institutions used to process your transactions
• From publicly available sources where permitted by law and where relevant to our fraud prevention or AML obligations
• From regulatory bodies or law enforcement agencies in circumstances where disclosure is required or authorised by Australian law

GW Casino Australia ensures that all third-party sources from which data is obtained operate in compliance with applicable privacy laws and that data is transferred securely and with appropriate protections in place.

Data Recipients

Access to your personal data within GW Casino is restricted on a strict need-to-know basis. Internally, data may be accessed by:

• Customer support and account management teams responsible for resolving queries and processing account requests
• Compliance and risk management teams responsible for AML, CFT, and fraud prevention activities
• Technical and IT security teams responsible for maintaining platform integrity and data security
• Senior management where oversight of compliance or operational matters requires access to specific data

All staff members with access to personal data are subject to confidentiality obligations and receive appropriate training on data protection responsibilities.

Releasing Data to Third Parties

GW Casino does not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your information with external parties in the following circumstances:

• With licensed payment processors and financial institutions to facilitate deposits, withdrawals, and fraud screening
• With KYC and identity verification service providers engaged to assist us in meeting our regulatory obligations
• With game providers and software suppliers where technically necessary to deliver gaming services
• With regulatory authorities, government agencies, or law enforcement bodies when required or permitted by Australian law
• With legal advisers or auditors engaged to assist with compliance, dispute resolution, or financial reporting
• With successor entities in the event of a corporate restructure, merger, or acquisition, subject to equivalent privacy protections being maintained

Where data is shared with third-party processors, GW Casino ensures that appropriate data processing agreements are in place and that such parties are bound by confidentiality and security obligations.

Data Retention

GW Casino retains personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, and in accordance with our legal retention obligations. In particular:

• All personal data and transactional records are retained for a minimum period of five years following the closure of your account, in compliance with Australian AML and CFT regulatory requirements
• Identity verification documents may be retained for extended periods where required by applicable regulation or ongoing legal proceedings
• Technical logs and session data are retained for a shorter period, typically not exceeding twelve months, unless required for an active investigation

Following the expiry of the mandatory five-year retention period, and provided there are no outstanding legal or regulatory obligations requiring continued retention, you have the right to request the erasure of your personal data. Such requests should be submitted to [email protected] and will be assessed in accordance with applicable law.

Security of Your Data

GW Casino takes the security of your personal data seriously and employs a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures include:

• Secure login protocols requiring individual user IDs and strong passwords for all account access
• Industry-standard SSL encryption to protect data transmitted between your device and our servers
• Encryption of sensitive data at rest, including financial records and identity documents
• Regular security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability management procedures
• Access controls and role-based permissions to limit internal data access to authorised personnel only
• Incident response procedures to detect, contain, and report data breaches in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)

While GW Casino implements robust security measures, no system can be entirely immune to risk. We encourage users to maintain strong passwords and to notify us immediately at [email protected] if they suspect any unauthorised access to their account.
