How personal information is handled
Privacy Policy
This policy explains the limited personal information the current static website may receive and the launch details that must be confirmed before publication.
Plain-English summary
No account, payment or casino-profile collection
The current website does not offer user registration, accept payments or connect to casino accounts. We may receive information you choose to send by email, while the final web host and email provider may process routine technical data needed to deliver and secure their services.
1. Who this policy covers
This policy applies to Sister Casinos NZ pages and direct editorial enquiries sent to the contact address shown on the website. It does not apply to a casino, regulator, support service or other external website reached through a link.
The organisation responsible for the final website and its verified business address must be inserted before public launch. Until then, the configured contact is editorial@sistercasinos.nz and the business address remains a launch placeholder.
2. Information that may be collected
Information you provide
- Your name, email address and message when you contact the editorial team.
- Sources, page URLs and other details you voluntarily include in a correction or enquiry.
- Accessibility or technical information you choose to provide when reporting a website problem.
Do not send passwords, identity documents, payment-card numbers, bank details or private casino-account records. We do not need that information to answer an editorial enquiry.
Technical information
Depending on the final hosting and security configuration, routine server logs may include an IP address, requested URL, date and time, browser or device information, referrer and error details. This data may be generated automatically to deliver, diagnose and secure the website.
Information not collected by the current site code
The current static build does not create user accounts, process deposits or withdrawals, collect casino login details, or intentionally activate analytics or advertising tracking. See the Cookie Policy for the current technology status.
3. Why information is used
- To reply to enquiries and investigate correction requests.
- To maintain the website, diagnose errors and protect it from misuse or security threats.
- To keep appropriate editorial and evidence records.
- To comply with legal obligations or respond to a lawful request.
Sharing and service providers
Information may be handled by providers needed to host the website, deliver email, maintain security or support the service. The final operator must list or describe the relevant providers and confirm whether information is processed outside New Zealand before launch.
We do not disclose personal information merely because someone asks for it. Information may be shared where you authorise it, where a contracted provider needs it for the stated purpose, or where disclosure is required or permitted by law.
External links
External websites set their own privacy rules and may collect information when you visit them. Read their policies before providing personal or financial information.
4. Retention and security
Personal information should be kept only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose collected, related editorial records, security, dispute handling or legal obligations. The final operator must document practical retention periods for inboxes, backups, server logs and any support systems before launch.
Reasonable organisational and technical safeguards should be used, including restricted access and maintained hosting. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. If you believe information sent to this website has been exposed, contact us promptly.
Children and young people
This is an adults-only information website. We do not knowingly seek personal information from anyone under 18. If such information is received, it should be reviewed and deleted when there is no lawful or necessary reason to retain it.
5. Access, correction and complaints
Under New Zealand privacy law, you may ask whether we hold personal information about you and request access to or correction of that information, subject to lawful exceptions. Email editorial@sistercasinos.nz with enough detail to identify the information. We may need to confirm your identity before releasing it.
If a correction is not made, you may ask for a statement of correction to be attached where the law provides. If you remain concerned, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the website, providers or legal requirements change. Material changes should be dated and, where practical, highlighted. The version published on this page applies from its stated date.
