This privacy statement explains information handling by onlinepokiesnz.co.nz, the business name of this website. The privacy contact is Glenn Mcfarland at Glenn.Mcfarland@onlinepokiesnz.co.nz.
Information you send
If you email us, we receive the address, name and other details included in your message, together with any attachments you choose to send. We use relevant information to respond, investigate a correction, handle a privacy enquiry or deal with the website matter you raise.
Providing information by email is voluntary, although we may be unable to answer a particular question without enough context. Please limit a message to what is needed. Do not send casino passwords, one-time codes, complete payment-card details, identity documents or private bank statements. This website is not a casino verification portal.
Technical and security information
Operating a website involves technical requests and server records. Depending on the service and event, those records can include an IP address, requested page, request time, browser information and security-related activity. Hosting and security tools use relevant records to deliver pages, investigate faults and detect abuse.
This WordPress site uses Wordfence security tools. Technical logs and security checks are separate from the editorial email process. We do not claim that simply reading a page produces no technical records.
Cookies and browser features
WordPress and security features may use cookies for functions such as sign-in, session handling or security checks. Reading public information is different from signing in to an administrator account. You can review, block or delete cookies through your browser, although restricting required cookies can affect some functions.
The site also loads a Cloudflare analytics beacon. Cloudflare describes its Web Analytics service as privacy-first and not collecting visitors’ personal data. That description concerns its analytics product; it should not be confused with all hosting or security logs.
The current theme requests fonts from Google’s font service. Loading an external resource connects the browser to that provider, which receives the technical information needed to handle the request. External providers’ privacy information applies to their own services.
Referral links and external websites
Some links are commercial referrals. A destination may receive a campaign identifier and use its own attribution technologies. The receiving website controls its own account, tracking and information practices. Read its privacy information before providing details.
We do not receive a reader’s casino password or full account access simply because a referral link was followed. The Affiliate Disclosure explains the commercial relationship. Our privacy statement does not replace an operator’s or payment provider’s statement.
Service providers and disclosure
Hosting, email delivery, security and other technical providers may process information needed to run their services. Some providers operate internationally, and processing may occur outside New Zealand. We do not describe an unverified storage location as a guaranteed New Zealand-only arrangement.
Information supplied for an enquiry is used for that purpose and related administration. Any further use or disclosure must have an appropriate basis, such as your authorisation, a relevant service requirement or a legal obligation. We do not need player identity files to maintain this editorial website.
Retention and protection
Relevant correspondence and technical records are kept for the purposes that require them, including resolving an enquiry, maintaining records and meeting applicable obligations. There is no single invented retention period for every record or external provider. Information should not be retained longer than those purposes require.
We aim to use reasonable safeguards and limit access to people or providers who need it. No internet system can promise absolute security. Avoid including unnecessary sensitive information in an initial message.
Access, correction and concerns
You can ask about personal information this website holds about you and request access or correction. Email Glenn with enough detail to identify the relevant correspondence. We may need proportionate confirmation of identity before releasing information; please do not send an identity document unless a verified request makes it necessary.
Requests are handled under applicable privacy requirements, including relevant exceptions. Where a requested correction is disputed, ask about recording a statement of correction. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner explains access, correction and complaint rights. Raise a concern with us first; the Commissioner provides an external complaint route if it remains unresolved.
Scope and changes
This statement concerns this website, not the information held by a casino, financial institution or another linked service. We may update it when the site’s features or information practices change. Use the Contact page for questions about the current wording.
