At Richard Casino (the “Site”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We aim to follow the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988, and we apply the same standards to visitors from other regions.
By using the Site, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site.
1. Who We Are
Richard Casino is an independent informational website focused on online-casino reviews and guides for Australian players. We are not a gambling operator, we do not process deposits, and we do not store real-money betting details. Our role is to publish reviews, comparisons, and educational content. For more on our mission, see About Us.
2. What Information We Collect
2.1 Personal information you provide voluntarily
We only collect personal information when you choose to give it to us. For example, if you contact us through a form or email, you may provide:
- Your name (optional)
- Your email address
- Any message content you submit, including attachments if you choose to add them
We do not require registration to use our content, so most visitors browse the Site without sharing personal data.
2.2 Non-personal information collected automatically
Like most websites, we collect limited technical data automatically for security and analytics purposes, such as:
- IP address and approximate geolocation (country/state level)
- Browser type, device type, and operating system
- Pages visited, session duration, clicks, and referral sources
- Cookie identifiers and similar tracking signals
This information helps us understand how Australian users interact with our casino reviews (e.g., AUD payment guides, pokies pages) and improve the Site.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information for the following purposes:
- To respond to inquiries: If you contact us, we use your details to reply and help you.
- To improve the Site: We analyze traffic patterns and user behavior to make our content clearer, faster, and more useful.
- To measure affiliate performance: Some links on our Site may lead to partner casinos. We use analytics to understand if reviews are helpful and which offers matter most to AU players. This does not change your bonus terms in any casino. For details, read our Affiliate Disclosure.
- To secure the Site: We monitor technical logs to prevent fraud, spam, or attacks.
We do not use your data to make automated decisions that have legal or significant effects on you.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tools to enable core Site functions and to understand user engagement. Cookies are small text files stored in your browser that do not contain your password or banking data.
Cookies we may use include:
- Essential cookies: Needed to run the Site properly (navigation, page security).
- Analytics cookies: Help us measure performance via services such as Google Analytics.
- Marketing/affiliate cookies: Track whether users click an outgoing casino link so partners can attribute commissions.
- Preference cookies: Remember settings like language or AUD-focused content preferences.
You can manage cookies in your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect Site functionality. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.
5. Sharing Information With Third Parties
We never sell or rent personal information. We may share limited data only in these cases:
- Service providers: Trusted tools that help us operate the Site (hosting, analytics, spam control). They can access data only to perform their services.
- Affiliate partners: When you click a casino link, partners may record a conversion through cookies or tracking codes. They do not receive your personal message data from us.
- Legal obligations: If required by law, court order, or a regulatory request, we may disclose relevant information.
- Business changes: If the Site is merged, sold, or reorganized, user data may transfer as part of that process, with continued protection under this policy.
We aim to work only with reputable partners who respect data protection.
6. International Data Transfers
Our servers or service providers may be located outside Australia. When data is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure it remains protected and handled in line with APP standards.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction if information is inaccurate or outdated.
- Request deletion of your personal data, where legally possible.
- Opt out of non-essential cookies or marketing tracking.
To exercise these rights, contact us via Contact Us. We may need to confirm your identity before fulfilling a request.
8. How We Protect Your Data
We follow practical security measures to keep your data safe, including:
- HTTPS/SSL encryption for all Site connections
- Limited access to data by authorized personnel only
- Regular updates to software and security tools
- Data minimization—collecting only what we truly need
No website can guarantee absolute security, but we work hard to reduce risk.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected (for example, to respond to your inquiry), or as required by law. Non-personal analytics data may be stored longer to support trend analysis and SEO improvements.
10. Age Restriction (18+)
The Site is intended for adults only. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us personal data, please contact us and we will remove it. For gambling help and safe-play advice, visit our Responsible Gambling page.
11. Links to Third-Party Websites
Our reviews may link to external casino platforms or informational resources. These sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices. We recommend reading the privacy terms of any casino you choose to join.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. The latest version will always be posted on this page. If changes are significant, we will highlight them clearly.
