Privacy Policy
Golden Crown Review AU · Last updated
This privacy policy explains how Golden Crown Review AU ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects information when you visit this website. We are an independent editorial and affiliate review site. We are not a casino, we do not take deposits, and we do not hold gambling accounts. The personal information we handle is limited, and this page sets out exactly what it is and how it is treated.
Who we are
Golden Crown Review AU publishes independent reviews of Golden Crown Casino and related gambling topics for Australian readers. We are not operated by or affiliated with Hollycorn N.V. or the Golden Crown brand. This site is informational and supported by affiliate commissions, which is explained on our affiliate disclosure page.
Information we collect
We collect very little, and most of it is gathered automatically rather than entered by you:
- Analytics data. When you visit a page, our analytics provider records non-identifying technical details such as your approximate location (city or region level), device type, browser, the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, and how long you stay.
- Log data. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs that may include your IP address, request times and error reports. These are used for security and to keep the site running.
- Cookies and similar technologies. Small files stored by your browser help us measure traffic and remember basic preferences. You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time.
- Information you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. We only use it to reply.
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not knowingly collect payment details, identity documents or sensitive personal information on this site.
How we use information
We use the information above to understand which articles are useful, to fix problems, to keep the site secure, and to improve our coverage of Golden Crown and Australian gambling topics. Aggregated analytics tell us, for example, that a guide is popular or that a page loads slowly. We do not use your data to build detailed personal profiles, and we do not sell it.
Affiliate tracking
When you click an outbound button to Golden Crown or another operator, you may pass through an affiliate tracking link. That link can set a cookie or pass a referral identifier so the operator knows the visit came from us. This is how we earn a commission if you later register and deposit. The tracking is handled by the operator and the affiliate network, not by us, and it does not tell us your name or your gambling activity. You can read more on our affiliate disclosure page.
Third parties
A small number of trusted third parties process data on our behalf, or because you interact with their services:
- Our analytics provider, which measures site traffic.
- Our hosting and content-delivery provider, which serves the pages and keeps server logs.
- Affiliate networks and operators, when you click an outbound link.
- Embedded fonts and similar resources loaded from external services to display the site correctly.
These providers have their own privacy policies. Some may store or process data outside Australia. We only work with providers that apply reasonable safeguards to the information they handle.
How long we keep data
Analytics and log data are retained only as long as they are useful for the purposes described above, after which they are deleted or aggregated. Emails you send us are kept while they are relevant to your enquiry, then removed.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser, use private browsing, or opt out of analytics with a browser extension. None of this stops you reading the site. To ask what we hold about you, or to have it corrected or deleted, just email us.
Your rights under Australian law
We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. Because we collect so little, in most cases we hold nothing that identifies you personally. Where we do hold personal information about you, you may ask us to confirm what we have, to correct it, or to delete it. To make a request, or if you have a privacy concern, contact us using the details below. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
Children
This site covers gambling and is intended only for adults aged 18 and over. We do not direct our content to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the site or the law. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the current version.
