Privacy Policy

1. Scope of this policy

PayPal Casino NZ is an editorial website covering casino payments, bonuses, payout processes, account verification, game catalogues and safer-gambling information. This policy applies only to information created or received through this website and its publishing operations.

It does not apply to information collected by a casino, payment provider, affiliate platform or another external service after a visitor leaves this website. Those organisations determine their own collection, verification, account and payment procedures.

2. Information that may be collected

Server and device information

When a browser requests a page or technical resource, the hosting or delivery infrastructure may create a standard server record. Depending on the configuration, this can include:

• the requested page, image, stylesheet, script or other resource;
• the date and time of the request;
• IP address and approximate network location;
• browser type, operating system and device category;
• referring page or search service;
• response status, loading time and basic error information.

Technical records may be inspected when investigating a broken page, unusual traffic, automated requests, service instability or a possible security incident. They are not intended to create a detailed profile of an individual visitor’s gambling behaviour.

Cookies and browser storage

Cookies, session storage, local storage or similar identifiers may be used to support interface behaviour, retain a technical preference, improve security or measure site performance in aggregated form.

More detail is available in the Cookie Policy.

Outbound referral links

Commercial links may contain a referral parameter. When one is opened, the destination casino or affiliate platform may receive information such as the referral identifier, source page, request time, IP address and device details under its own privacy and cookie practices.

PayPal Casino NZ does not receive a visitor’s casino password, PayPal password, full payment-card number, player balance or withdrawal request through the ordinary use of those links.

Information supplied voluntarily

If a verified contact channel is made available, a message may include a sender name, reply address, message text and any information voluntarily included by the sender. Visitors should not send passwords, payment credentials, identity documents or casino account security codes.

3. How information may be used

Information should not be used for a materially different purpose unless that use is permitted by law, reasonably expected in the circumstances or authorised by the person concerned.

4. Third-party resources and services

Pages may request resources from third-party providers, including web-font services, content-delivery networks and interface libraries. In the current page structure, fonts are requested from Google-hosted services and the Bootstrap library is delivered through a public CDN. Those providers may receive standard request data when their resources load.

Hosting, security, analytics or technical-support providers may also process limited information on behalf of the site where such services are used. Access should be limited to what is necessary for the relevant task.

5. Sharing and overseas handling

Personal information may be disclosed to a technical provider where this is reasonably necessary to host, secure, maintain or diagnose the website. It may also be disclosed where required by law, needed to establish or defend a legal claim, or necessary to respond to a serious threat or security incident.

Some service providers may operate outside New Zealand. Where a disclosure of personal information is made to an overseas organisation, appropriate safeguards should be considered so the information receives protection comparable to that expected under applicable privacy law.

6. Security and privacy breaches

Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards should be used to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, loss, alteration, misuse or disclosure. Safeguards can include encrypted connections, restricted administrative access, software maintenance, backups and controlled access to technical records.

If a privacy breach is likely to cause serious harm, the responsible agency may have obligations to notify affected people and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner as soon as practicable.

7. Retention

Personal information should be kept only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, for website security, or to meet a legal obligation. Retention periods can vary by information type and by the provider responsible for storing it.

Routine technical records may be deleted, aggregated, anonymised or overwritten after the relevant operational period. Information connected with a security event, dispute or legal requirement may need to be kept for longer while the matter is investigated or resolved.

8. Access and correction rights

A person may ask whether personal information about them is held and may request access to that information, subject to any lawful withholding grounds. A person may also request correction where information is inaccurate, incomplete, out of date or misleading.

If a requested correction is not made, the person may ask for a statement of correction to be attached to the information where applicable.

• Describe the information being requested or corrected.
• Provide enough detail to verify identity and locate the record.
• Do not send passwords, card numbers or casino security codes.
• Use only a verified privacy contact channel published by this site.

9. Privacy complaints

A privacy concern should first be raised with the website publisher through its verified privacy contact channel. The request should identify the issue, the relevant page or interaction and the outcome being sought.

A person who is not satisfied with the response may be able to make a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner .

10. Under-18 visitors

The website concerns adult gambling products and is intended for people aged 18 and over. It does not knowingly provide casino accounts or process gambling transactions for any visitor. An under-18 visitor should not submit personal information through a contact channel.

11. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the website’s technical setup, service providers, referral arrangements, contact methods or privacy obligations change. The current version will remain available on this page and the review date will be changed when a material revision is published.
