Who this policy covers
This Privacy Policy explains how NZ Casino Bonuses ("we", "us") handles personal information collected through nzcasinobonuses.com (the "Site"). It applies to visitors, newsletter subscribers, and anyone who contacts us directly. It does not cover the privacy practices of any third-party casino operator you visit via a link from this Site — each operator has its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to read before registering an account.
We are committed to handling personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand) and, where applicable to visitors from other jurisdictions, relevant international data protection standards such as the GDPR.
Information we collect
Information you give us directly
- Name and email address, if you subscribe to our newsletter or submit a contact form.
- Any other details you choose to include in a message to us (e.g. a complaint about a casino, a correction request).
Information collected automatically
- Device and browser type, operating system, and screen resolution.
- IP address and approximate location derived from it (typically city/region level).
- Pages viewed, time on page, referring URL, and click-through activity — including which affiliate links you click.
- Cookie and similar tracking identifiers (see our Cookie Policy).
Information from affiliate tracking
When you click through to a casino operator, our affiliate tracking software (typically operated by a third-party affiliate network) records the click, a tracking identifier, and the referring page, so that the operator can attribute any resulting sign-up to us. We do not receive your casino account details, deposit amounts, or gameplay history from the operator.
How we use your information
| Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|
| Operating and improving the Site's content and navigation | Legitimate interest |
| Measuring which listings and articles perform well | Legitimate interest |
| Sending a newsletter you've subscribed to | Consent |
| Responding to a contact form or complaint | Necessary to respond to your request |
| Attributing affiliate referrals to casino operators | Legitimate interest / contractual necessity with our affiliate partners |
| Detecting fraud, abuse, or bot traffic | Legitimate interest |
Cookies and tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics, affiliate-link attribution, and remembering your preferences (such as a saved filter or dismissed cookie banner). Full detail on each category of cookie we use, and how to control them, is set out in our Cookie Policy.
Who we share information with
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with:
- Affiliate networks and casino operators — solely the tracking data needed to attribute a referral, when you click through to them.
- Analytics and hosting providers — who process data on our behalf under a data processing agreement, strictly to help us run and understand use of the Site.
- Email service providers — if you subscribe to updates.
- Regulators or law enforcement — only where required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of NZ Casino Bonuses, our users, or the public.
How long we keep it
We retain analytics and log data for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, typically no longer than 26 months, after which it is deleted or aggregated so it can no longer identify you. Newsletter subscriber details are kept until you unsubscribe. Contact form messages are retained for as long as needed to resolve your query and for a reasonable period afterward for record-keeping.
International data transfers
Some of our service providers (such as hosting, analytics, or email platforms) may store or process data outside New Zealand, including in the United States or the European Union. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure the receiving party provides a comparable standard of protection to that required under the Privacy Act 2020.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures — including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and limiting data collection to what's needed — to protect personal information against loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:
- Ask whether we hold personal information about you, and request a copy of it.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date.
- Withdraw consent to marketing communications at any time (e.g. by using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter).
- Complain to us directly, and if unsatisfied with our response, to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
To exercise any of these rights, contact our privacy officer using the details below.
Children's privacy
This Site, and the products it discusses, are intended solely for individuals aged 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have done so, we will delete it promptly.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent revision. Material changes will be highlighted on the homepage for a reasonable period.
