Cookies and Similar Technologies
Pocket Pokies Casino uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixel tags) to enable core site functionality, maintain security, remember preferences, and measure performance.
Types of cookies we may use
- Strictly necessary cookies that support essential features such as account login, security checks, and site navigation.
- Preference cookies that remember settings like interface choices and selected options.
- Analytics cookies that help us understand how players use the site so we can improve functionality and content.
- Advertising-related cookies where enabled, which may help measure campaigns and reduce irrelevant messaging.
You can usually manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how Pocket Pokies Casino functions, including the ability to stay signed in or complete some actions securely.
Data Sharing
We share personal information only where necessary to deliver the Pocket Pokies Casino services, protect the platform and players, or meet legitimate operational needs. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense of selling it for third-party use independent of our services.
- Service providers that support core operations, such as hosting, security monitoring, identity verification assistance, analytics, customer support tooling, and payment processing.
- Game and platform partners involved in delivering casino content, reporting results, resolving game-related issues, and ensuring technical compatibility.
- Professional advisers such as auditors, consultants, or legal advisers when needed to manage risk and handle disputes.
- Corporate transactions, where information may be shared or transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or asset sale, subject to appropriate safeguards.
- Legal and safety disclosures, where we believe disclosure is necessary to protect players, investigate suspicious conduct, respond to lawful requests, or enforce our terms and policies.
When sharing information, we aim to limit it to what is relevant for the stated purpose and to require appropriate confidentiality and security measures from recipients.
Data Security
Pocket Pokies Casino uses technical and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. Security controls vary based on the sensitivity of the information and how it is processed.
- Encryption and secure transmission methods for data in transit where appropriate.
- Access controls and authentication measures intended to restrict internal access to authorised personnel.
- Monitoring tools to detect suspicious activity and reduce the risk of account compromise.
- Operational processes for incident response and service continuity.
No method of transmission or storage is completely risk-free. You can help protect your account by using a strong, unique password and keeping login credentials confidential.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or justified for operational, security, dispute resolution, or other legitimate needs.
- Account information is typically retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter to handle queries, disputes, and security follow-up.
- Transaction and gameplay records may be retained to reconcile payments, investigate issues, and maintain accurate operational records.
- Verification materials are retained only as long as needed to complete checks, manage ongoing risk, and support the integrity of the service.
- Support communications may be retained to improve service quality and to maintain a record of decisions and outcomes.
When information is no longer required, we take steps to delete, anonymise, or securely archive it in line with our retention practices.
Your Rights
You may have rights in relation to your personal information depending on your circumstances. Pocket Pokies Casino supports reasonable requests and aims to respond within appropriate timeframes.
- Access: request a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Deletion: request deletion of certain information, noting that we may need to retain some records for security, operational, or dispute-related reasons.
- Restriction or objection: object to certain processing or request limits where applicable.
- Preference management: manage marketing choices and some data settings through available account tools.
To protect players, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. If you are unable to access your account, we may ask for additional information to confirm the request is legitimate.
Third-Party Services
Pocket Pokies Casino may include services operated by third parties, such as payment processing, identity verification support, analytics tools, game content, or responsible gambling resources. These third parties may process information under their own privacy practices or under agreements with us, depending on their role.
- If a third party acts as our service provider, we seek to require safeguards consistent with the service they provide.
- If you choose to interact with a third-party feature or link, your information may be handled under that third party’s policies and controls.
- Game providers may record technical events needed to ensure fairness, troubleshoot errors, and reconcile game outcomes.
We encourage you to review relevant third-party privacy information when using services that are not operated directly by Pocket Pokies Casino.
International Transfers
Although Pocket Pokies Casino is offered to players in Australia, some of our service providers or technology partners may be located in other countries. This means personal information may be processed or stored outside Australia.
Where information is transferred internationally, we aim to apply appropriate safeguards proportionate to the nature of the data and the services involved, such as contractual protections and security requirements designed to maintain confidentiality and integrity.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our services, technology, risk controls, or operational practices. When we make changes, we will post the updated version on this page and adjust the wording to reflect the latest approach.
If an update is significant, Pocket Pokies Casino may provide additional notice through the website or through account-related communications. Continued use of the services after an update means you accept the updated policy to the extent permitted by applicable practices.
