This privacy policy explains how Freetoonie, the independent information portal at freetooniecasino.com, collects, uses and protects your personal data when you visit our site. We take your privacy seriously and handle your information in line with the Australian Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Who controls your data
Freetoonie operates this portal independently. We are the data controller for any information you provide or that we collect during your visit. This policy covers our own practices — not those of the operators we write about.
What information we collect
We gather two kinds of data: what you give us directly, and what we observe while you browse.
Information you provide: When you use our contact form or subscribe to updates, we collect your email address and any message content you send. We never ask for payment details, identity documents or account credentials — those belong to the operator, not to us.
Technical data: Like most websites, we log your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and time spent on the site. Cookies and similar technologies help us remember your preferences and analyse how the portal is used.
How we use your information
We process your data to run the site, answer your questions and improve what we publish. Specifically:
- Responding to enquiries sent through our contact form
- Delivering any newsletter or update service you have signed up for
- Understanding which pages and topics attract the most interest
- Detecting and preventing spam, abuse or technical problems
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. Your email address stays with us and is never passed to third-party marketers.
Legal basis for processing
Under Australian privacy law, we rely on your consent when you submit a contact form or subscribe to updates. For technical data gathered during normal browsing, our legitimate interest in running and improving the portal provides the legal ground — balanced against your reasonable privacy expectations.
Sharing with third parties
We share data only where necessary to operate the site:
| Recipient | Purpose | Data shared |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting provider | Keeps the site online | Technical logs, IP addresses |
| Analytics service | Measures traffic and usage | Anonymised visit data, device type |
| Email platform | Sends replies and updates | Your email address, message content |
Each of these processors is bound by contract to protect your data and use it only for the purposes we specify. Some of them operate servers outside Australia — where that happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.
Your rights
Australian privacy law gives you control over your personal information. You have the right to:
- Access the data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
- Delete your data when we no longer need it
- Restrict processing while a dispute is being resolved
- Object to certain uses of your information
- Withdraw consent at any time for activities that depend on it
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected] with details of your request. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, usually within 30 days.
Complaints and the regulator
If you believe we have mishandled your personal data, contact us first — most concerns can be resolved directly. If you remain dissatisfied, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au or by calling 1300 363 992.
How long we keep your data
Contact-form messages and replies are kept for two years, then deleted unless ongoing correspondence requires a longer period. Technical logs and analytics data are retained for 12 months. If you unsubscribe from updates, your email is removed from our active list immediately.
Protecting minors
This portal covers gambling topics and is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor has submitted personal data, we delete it without delay.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect new practices or legal requirements. The revised version will be published on this page with a new date at the bottom. Significant changes will be highlighted when you next visit the site.
