This privacy policy explains how Ricky Casino — the editorial publisher of riccky-casino.com — collects, uses and protects information when you browse our Ricky Casino Australia guides. We are an independent review website, not the gambling operator that runs player accounts, processes deposits or holds KYC documents. If you register with the casino itself, that platform’s own privacy terms apply to account data.
We aim to keep data collection narrow. Most visitors read articles without submitting personal details. Where information is gathered — through cookies, analytics or a voluntary email — we describe the purpose below and outline choices you can make in your browser or by contacting us.
What information we collect
When you visit riccky-casino.com, standard web server logs may record your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed and approximate timestamps. This technical data helps us maintain security, diagnose errors and understand which review sections Australian readers find useful.
If you email us at the support address listed on our contact page, we receive the content of your message, your email address and any details you choose to include. We do not require you to share casino account numbers, payment card data or government ID through this guide site.
Cookies and similar technologies may store preferences, session identifiers or aggregated usage signals. We do not ask for sensitive categories such as health records or precise geolocation beyond what your device shares automatically with any website.
How we use your information
We use collected data to operate and improve the site: keeping pages available, fixing broken links, measuring readership trends and responding to reader questions about Ricky Casino bonuses, banking or responsible gambling topics. Analytics are used in aggregate form rather than to build individual marketing profiles.
Email correspondence is used solely to answer your enquiry, follow up on factual corrections or handle routine site administration. We do not sell personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing.
Cookies and browser controls
Cookies are small text files placed on your device. We may use essential cookies required for basic navigation, performance cookies that show how pages load, and analytics cookies that count visits in anonymised or pseudonymised ways. Third-party scripts — such as analytics providers — may set their own cookies subject to their policies.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some layout or preference features behave. For mobile users in Australia, system-level tracking controls on iOS or Android can also limit cross-app identifiers where applicable.
Sharing and data processors
We may share limited technical data with hosting providers, content delivery networks, security tools and analytics services that process information on our behalf under contractual obligations. These processors are expected to use data only to deliver their service and to apply reasonable safeguards.
We may disclose information if required by law, court order or to protect the rights, safety or integrity of the site and its visitors. We do not publish your private emails or use them for unrelated promotional campaigns.
Your rights and retention
Depending on applicable law — including the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles where they apply — you may request access to personal information we hold about you, ask for corrections, or request deletion where we have no legitimate reason to retain it. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may need to verify your identity before acting on sensitive requests.
Server logs and analytics records are retained only as long as needed for security, troubleshooting and trend analysis, then deleted or aggregated. Email threads are kept while the conversation remains relevant or as required for legal compliance.
Contact and policy updates
Questions about this policy or how we handle data can be sent to [email protected]. We may update this page when our tools, hosting arrangements or legal obligations change. The revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
