Who we are
SweepstakesCasino-Australia.com is an independent review and information website about sweepstakes casino platforms available to Australian players. We are not a casino operator, and we do not process gambling transactions. We operate from Australia and comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Information we collect
We collect limited information when you visit our site. This includes technical data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, referring URL and session duration. This data is collected automatically via cookies and server logs. We also collect information you voluntarily provide — for example, if you contact us via our contact form, we receive your name and email address.
We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined under the Privacy Act, and we do not collect financial information of any kind. We never require you to create an account to access our content.
How we use your information
Technical data is used to analyse traffic patterns, improve site performance and diagnose errors. We use Google Analytics 4 (with IP anonymisation enabled) and Cloudflare Analytics for this purpose. If you contact us, your details are used solely to respond to your enquiry and are not shared with third parties or used for marketing without your explicit consent.
Cookies
We use essential cookies (required for site function), analytics cookies (Google Analytics, with your consent) and affiliate tracking cookies (to record when you click to a sweepstakes platform via our affiliate links). You can manage your cookie preferences at any time via our Cookie Policy page or your browser settings. Disabling non-essential cookies does not affect your ability to read our content.
Affiliate links and third parties
Our site contains affiliate links to sweepstakes casino platforms. When you click these links, the destination platform may set its own cookies. We receive a commission if you register via our affiliate link — this does not affect our editorial ratings, which are based on independent testing. Our affiliate relationships are disclosed on every page with "Contains affiliate links" in the footer.
Data retention and security
Contact form data is retained for up to 12 months after your last communication and then deleted. Analytics data is retained for 26 months per Google Analytics default settings. We use HTTPS (via Cloudflare) for all site traffic. Server logs are purged after 30 days. We do not sell, rent or share your personal data with third parties except as required by Australian law.
Your rights under Australian Privacy Law
Under the Privacy Act 1988, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate data, and make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if you believe we have mishandled your data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via our contact page.
Children's privacy
Our site is intended for users 18 years and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, contact us immediately and we will delete the data.
Changes to this policy
We review and update this Privacy Policy annually or when our data practices change materially. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
This site is part of the sweepstakes casino Australia guide network providing independent information for AU players.
