We aim to use such information only for legitimate operational and security purposes.

Casino Mate uses personal information to operate the website, deliver services you request, and maintain a safe environment. The main purposes include:
- Creating and managing your account, including login, authentication, and account recovery.
- Processing deposits, withdrawals, chargebacks, and other transactions, and maintaining accurate records.

- Personalising content and improving user experience, including remembering preferences and settings.
- Monitoring performance, troubleshooting issues, and maintaining the stability and integrity of services.

- Where you choose to receive them, sending marketing communications and tailoring promotions according to your preferences and interaction with Casino Mate.
We aim to use information in a way that is proportionate and relevant to the services we provide. If we need to use information for a new purpose, we will take reasonable steps to inform you when appropriate.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Casino Mate uses cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels, local storage, and device identifiers) to make the website work correctly, keep you signed in, support security, and understand how the site is used. These technologies help us remember your preferences, reduce repetitive steps, and detect unusual activity.
Some cookies are set by Casino Mate, and some may be set by third parties that provide services on our behalf. You can usually adjust cookie settings through your browser or device controls. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect site functionality, including account login and payment flows.
Data Sharing
Casino Mate does not sell personal information as a business model. We share information only when it is necessary to provide services, protect users and the platform, or meet legitimate operational needs.
Service providers
We may share information with vendors who perform services for us, such as payment processing, identity verification support, customer service tooling, hosting, data storage, analytics, and security monitoring. These providers are expected to handle information in a way that supports confidentiality and security and to use it only for the services they deliver.
Business operations
We may share limited information within our corporate group or with professional advisers (such as auditors, legal advisers, and consultants) where this is reasonably required for operations, risk management, or dispute resolution.
Legal and safety reasons
We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to comply with applicable legal processes, respond to lawful requests, enforce our terms, protect our rights and property, investigate suspected wrongdoing, or protect users and the public. Where appropriate, we seek to limit what is shared to what is relevant.
Corporate transactions
If Casino Mate is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
Data Security
Casino Mate takes reasonable steps to safeguard personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. Security measures may include access controls, encryption in transit where appropriate, monitoring for suspicious activity, and policies designed to limit access to information on a need-to-know basis.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You also play an important role in protecting your account by using a strong password, not reusing credentials across websites, and contacting us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.
Data Retention
Casino Mate retains personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, maintain accurate records, resolve disputes, and meet legitimate business needs. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and how it is used.
When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, de-identify, or securely destroy it. In some situations, we may retain certain records for longer where needed for security, fraud prevention, or to satisfy ongoing obligations, subject to appropriate safeguards.
Your Rights
Depending on your circumstances and applicable privacy principles, you may have rights in relation to your personal information. Casino Mate aims to support these rights in a practical and secure manner.
- Access: you may request access to personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: you may ask us to correct inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information.
- Deletion: you may request deletion of certain information, noting that we may need to retain some records for security, transactional integrity, or other legitimate purposes.
- Objection and preferences: you may be able to object to certain processing or adjust marketing preferences where offered.
- Portability: where feasible, you may request a copy of certain information in a commonly used format.
To protect players, Casino Mate may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request. If we cannot comply with a request, we will aim to explain the reason in a clear way.
Third-Party Services
The Casino Mate website may include third-party services such as payment solutions, game providers, analytics tools, or links to external websites. These third parties may collect information directly from you under their own policies when you interact with their services.
Casino Mate is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites and services that we do not control. We encourage you to review the relevant privacy information of any third party before providing personal data, especially when using external payment methods or following links away from our website.
International Transfers (General Only)
Casino Mate may use service providers or technical infrastructure located in different countries. As a result, personal information may be processed or stored outside Australia. When information is handled internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected through appropriate contractual and organisational measures, consistent with this Privacy Policy.
International data handling can involve different legal frameworks. Where this occurs, we focus on practical safeguards such as limiting access, applying security controls, and requiring service providers to process data only for authorised purposes.
Policy Updates
Casino Mate may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, website features, or operational practices. When we make changes, we will post the updated policy on this page and adjust the effective information presented with the updated version as appropriate.
If an update is significant, we may provide additional notice through the website or via account communications. Your continued use of Casino Mate after an update means you have had the opportunity to review the revised policy.
