Privacy Policy
This page explains, in our own words, what information Pokie Guide collects when you visit this site, why, and the choices and rights you have under Australian privacy law.
Who We Are
Pokie Guide (published at kimtobinactingstudio.com) is an independent information site about online casino gambling in Australia. We are not a casino, we don't process gambling transactions, and we're not a government body. This policy sets out how we handle personal information in connection with this website, written to reflect the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988.
Information We Collect
We collect very little personal information directly. Most of what we gather is standard technical data generated automatically as part of running a website: things like the pages you visit, the approximate date and time of a visit, general device and browser information, and referring pages. We don't ask visitors to create an account, and we don't operate any deposit, withdrawal or payment functionality on this site, so we never collect financial account details, government ID numbers, or gambling transaction history.
If you choose to contact us by email, we'll naturally see whatever information you include in that message, such as your name and email address, and anything you tell us about your enquiry. We only use that information to respond to you.
Cookies and Analytics
Like most websites, this site may use cookies or similar small files stored in your browser to support basic functionality and to understand, in aggregate, how the site is used, for example which pages are popular or how visitors typically move between them. This kind of aggregate analytics information doesn't identify you personally. You can control or disable cookies through your browser's settings at any time; doing so may affect some site functionality but won't prevent you from reading our content.
How We Use Information
Any information we do collect is used only for legitimate purposes connected with running this site: keeping it secure and functioning correctly, understanding overall visitor patterns so we can improve our content, and responding to enquiries sent to us directly. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles for third parties.
Disclosure and External Links
We don't share personal information with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes. Where we rely on external service providers to run parts of this website, such as hosting or basic analytics, those providers may process technical data strictly on our behalf and under their own privacy terms.
This site links out to a small number of authoritative external organisations relevant to our subject matter, including the ACMA, BetStop, and Gambling Help Online. Those are independent organisations with their own privacy policies, and we'd encourage you to review those directly before sharing any information with them; this policy only covers our own site.
Data Retention and Security
We keep the limited information we hold, such as email correspondence, only for as long as reasonably necessary to deal with the matter it relates to, or as required by law. We take reasonable steps to protect any information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, appropriate to the small amount of personal information this site actually handles.
Your Rights and Access
Under the Australian Privacy Principles, you generally have the right to ask what personal information an organisation holds about you, to request access to it, and to request that inaccurate information be corrected. Because we hold so little personal information in the first place, most requests are straightforward to resolve. If you'd like to ask what information we hold about you, or would like something corrected or deleted, contact us using the details below and we'll respond within a reasonable timeframe.
If you believe we haven't handled your personal information appropriately and we haven't resolved your concern directly, you can raise a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), which oversees compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 nationally.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time, for instance if the way the site operates changes or if privacy law is updated. Any changes will be reflected on this page, along with the "last updated" date, and the current version always applies to your use of the site going forward.
Contact Us
If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle information, you can reach us by email at [email protected]. We're happy to clarify anything on this page.
