Last Updated: December 19, 2025
At Golden Crown Casino, we take your privacy seriously and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you use our online casino services. We comply with applicable data protection regulations including GDPR and Australian Privacy Principles to ensure your information remains secure and confidential.
By creating an account and using our services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review this document carefully and contact our support team if you have questions about how we handle your personal information.
We never sell your personal data to third parties. All information collected serves solely to provide you with secure, personalized casino services and comply with legal requirements.
Information We Collect
To provide casino services, process transactions, and comply with regulatory requirements, we collect several categories of personal information from our users. Understanding what data we collect helps you make informed decisions about using our platform.

- Contact Information: Email address, phone number, and residential address
- Account Credentials: Username, password (encrypted), and security questions

Providing Casino Services
Your personal information enables us to create and maintain your account, process deposits and withdrawals, track your gaming history, apply bonuses and promotions, and provide personalized gaming recommendations. We use your contact details to send account notifications, transaction confirmations, and important service updates.
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Gaming regulations require us to verify player identities, prevent underage gambling, detect money laundering, maintain transaction records for auditing purposes, and report suspicious activities to relevant authorities. We retain certain data for regulatory periods even after account closure to meet these legal obligations.
Security and Fraud Prevention
We analyze usage patterns and device information to detect account takeovers, identify multiple accounts from single individuals, prevent bonus abuse, and flag suspicious betting patterns. This protects both the casino and legitimate players from fraudulent activity.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We share your personal information only when necessary to provide services or meet legal requirements. We never sell your data to third parties for their marketing purposes.
Third-Party Service Providers
We work with trusted partners who process data on our behalf:

All service providers sign data processing agreements ensuring they handle your information according to our privacy standards and applicable regulations. They access only the data necessary for their specific functions.
Legal Requirements and Law Enforcement
We may disclose your information when legally required to comply with court orders or subpoenas, respond to government or regulatory inquiries, enforce our terms and conditions, protect our rights and property, prevent fraud or illegal activities, or ensure player safety in responsible gambling situations.
Business Transfers
If Golden Crown Casino undergoes a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your personal information may transfer to the new entity. You'll receive notification before your data becomes subject to a different privacy policy, giving you the opportunity to close your account if you prefer.
Data Security and Protection
Protecting your personal information is fundamental to our operations. We implement comprehensive security measures across technical, administrative, and physical domains.
256-bit SSL encryption protects all data transmitted between your device and our servers
Encrypted databases store sensitive information with restricted access controls
24/7 monitoring detects and responds to potential security threats in real-time
Independent security audits verify our protection measures and identify improvements
Access to personal data is limited to authorized personnel who require it for their job functions. All staff undergo security training and sign confidentiality agreements. We maintain audit logs tracking who accesses data and when, creating accountability and enabling investigation of any suspicious access patterns.
Choose strong, unique passwords for your account. Enable two-factor authentication if available. Never share your login credentials. Log out after gaming sessions on shared devices. Report any suspicious account activity to support immediately.
Your Privacy Rights
You maintain control over your personal information and have several rights regarding how we process your data:
Right to Access
You can request a copy of all personal information we hold about you. We'll provide this data in a commonly used electronic format within 30 days of your request. This includes account details, transaction history, gaming records, and communications.
Right to Rectification
If you believe any information we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you can request corrections. Update your contact details, address, or other personal information directly through your account settings or by contacting support.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of your personal information when it's no longer necessary for the purposes it was collected, you withdraw consent (where consent was the basis for processing), you object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds, or your data was unlawfully processed.
Note that we must retain certain information for regulatory compliance periods (typically 5-7 years for financial records) even after you close your account. We'll delete all data not subject to retention requirements.
Right to Restriction
You can request that we restrict processing of your data while we verify accuracy of disputed information, when processing is unlawful but you don't want deletion, when we no longer need the data but you require it for legal claims, or pending verification of legitimate grounds for processing.
Right to Data Portability
You can obtain your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format and request transmission to another service provider where technically feasible. This right applies to data you provided us based on consent or contract performance.
Right to Object
You can object to processing based on legitimate interests, direct marketing communications (opt-out anytime), and automated decision-making including profiling. We'll cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected] with your request. We'll respond within one month, though complex requests may require up to three months with notification of the extension.
