21bit Casino Privacy Policy
21bit Casino respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect when you access or use our online casino services, why we use it, and the choices available to you.
This policy applies to visitors, registered customers and other individuals who interact with 21bit Casino through our website, account services, promotional activities or customer support channels. By using our services, you acknowledge that your information may be handled as described below.
Information We Gather
The information we collect depends on how you use 21bit Casino and the services you request. Some information is provided directly by you, while other information is collected automatically when you browse or play.
- Identity details, such as your name, date of birth and information used to confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement of 18 years.
- Contact details, including your email address and other information needed to communicate with you.
- Account information, such as login details, preferences, account history and records of your interactions with us.
- Transaction information relating to deposits, withdrawals, bonuses and gaming activity. Payment card or banking details may be processed through payment providers rather than stored directly by us.
- Verification information needed for identity, age, fraud, security or responsible gaming checks.
- Technical information, including your IP address, device type, browser, operating system, approximate location and information about how you use our website.
- Communications and support records, including messages, requests, feedback and documents supplied during an account enquiry.
You may choose not to provide certain information, but doing so could prevent us from opening an account, processing a transaction, providing a requested feature or meeting necessary security checks.
How We Use Your Details
21bit Casino uses personal information for clear and relevant business purposes. These purposes may include:
- Creating, administering and maintaining your casino account.
- Processing deposits, withdrawals, payments, bonuses and other account-related transactions.
- Confirming age, identity and eligibility, and protecting the platform against fraud, money laundering, unauthorised access and other misuse.
- Providing customer support, resolving complaints and responding to questions.
- Operating, maintaining, testing and improving the website, games and related services.
- Personalising content, offers and account features where permitted and appropriate.
- Sending service messages, security notices, account updates and other important operational communications.
- Sending promotional communications where you have consented or where otherwise permitted. You can opt out of marketing messages using the available unsubscribe method.
- Monitoring activity for responsible gaming, platform integrity, risk management and compliance purposes.
- Establishing, exercising or defending legal rights and managing disputes.
We aim to collect and use information that is relevant to these purposes. We do not use personal information in a way that is incompatible with the reason it was collected unless a lawful basis or your permission supports the further use.
Cookies and Related Tools
Our website may use cookies, pixels, local storage and similar technologies. These tools are small data files or tags that help a website remember settings, maintain sessions and understand how visitors use its pages.
- Essential technologies support account access, security, navigation and core website functions.
- Performance technologies help us identify errors, measure page performance and improve the user experience.
- Preference technologies remember choices such as language, display settings or other account preferences.
- Marketing or analytics technologies may help measure campaigns or present more relevant information, subject to applicable choices and permissions.
Your browser may allow you to block, delete or restrict cookies. Disabling essential cookies can affect account access or prevent some features from working correctly. Information collected through these technologies may be combined with account or device information for the purposes described in this policy.
When Information Is Shared
21bit Casino may disclose personal information only where there is a reasonable business, security, operational or legal purpose. Sharing may occur with carefully selected service providers that assist us in delivering the platform.
- Payment processors and financial service providers may receive information needed to authorise and complete transactions.
- Identity verification, fraud prevention and security providers may process information to assess risk and protect the service.
- Technology, hosting, analytics, communications and customer support providers may process information on our behalf.
- Professional advisers, auditors and insurers may receive relevant information when providing services to us.
- Authorities, courts or other authorised recipients may receive information when disclosure is required or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety or the integrity of the platform.
- A purchaser, successor or professional adviser may access relevant information in connection with a business restructuring, merger, sale or similar transaction.
Service providers are expected to handle information appropriately and only for authorised purposes. We do not sell personal information as a general business practice.
Protecting Personal Data
We use administrative, technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information from unauthorised access, alteration, loss, misuse or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, authentication procedures, monitoring, encryption or other safeguards appropriate to the information and the risks involved.
Access to personal information is limited to people and providers who need it for an authorised purpose. Our personnel and service providers may be subject to confidentiality obligations. We also review security processes when our systems, services or risks change.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. You should use a strong, unique password, keep your login information confidential and notify us promptly if you believe your account or device has been compromised.
How Long We Keep Data
We retain personal information for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purposes described in this policy. The period depends on the type of information, the nature of our relationship with you, security requirements, dispute risks and any applicable record-keeping obligations.
Account and transaction records may be retained after an account is closed where needed for fraud prevention, financial reconciliation, responsible gaming, complaint handling, legal claims or other legitimate operational purposes. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymise it or securely restrict access to it.
Backups and technical systems may retain limited copies for a further period while they are securely overwritten or otherwise removed through normal business processes.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your circumstances and applicable privacy rules, you may have rights concerning the personal information we hold about you. These may include the ability to:
- Request access to personal information and obtain an explanation of how it is used.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
- Request deletion or restriction of information where there is no continuing reason for us to retain or use it.
- Object to certain processing activities, including some direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that occurred before the withdrawal.
- Request information in a usable format where this right applies.
These rights are not always absolute. We may need to retain information for security, verification, transaction, dispute or legal purposes, and we may ask for reasonable evidence of identity before responding. If you are dissatisfied with our response, you may have the right to raise the matter with an appropriate privacy authority or other relevant body.
External Providers and Links
Our website may use third-party games, payment services, verification tools, analytics products, advertising platforms or links to external websites. Those providers may collect or process information under their own privacy notices and terms.
21bit Casino does not control the privacy practices, security measures or content of independent third parties. Before submitting information through an external service, you should review that provider's applicable documentation. A link or integrated feature does not necessarily mean that 21bit Casino endorses every practice of the third party.
Processing Across Borders
Some companies that support 21bit Casino may process information in countries outside Australia. As a result, personal information may be stored or accessed internationally, depending on the location of our technology, payment, verification, support and other service providers.
Where information is transferred across borders, we seek to use appropriate contractual, technical or organisational safeguards and to work with providers that are expected to protect information appropriately. International processing may be subject to the laws of the country where the information is handled, which can differ from Australian privacy protections.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, business arrangements or privacy practices change. The revised version will be made available through the relevant website or account channel, with the updated date where appropriate.
Changes take effect when published unless a later date is stated. We encourage you to review this page periodically. If an update materially affects how we use information, we will take reasonable steps to provide a suitable notice where required.
How to Contact Us
If you have a question about this Privacy Policy, want to exercise a privacy right or believe that your personal information has been handled incorrectly, please contact 21bit Casino at [email protected]. Include enough detail for us to understand your request, but do not send unnecessary passwords, payment credentials or other highly sensitive information.
We will review privacy enquiries and may request additional information to confirm your identity and protect your account. Our response will depend on the nature of the request, the information involved and any security, operational or legal limitations that apply.
