Fastest Withdrawal Casinos in Australia, operating at the website avatarize.club (“we”, “us”, “our”), is committed to protecting the privacy of our users (“you”). We understand the importance of handling your personal information responsibly and transparently. Our practices are designed to comply with our obligations under Australian privacy law. This Privacy Policy outlines how we manage the personal information we collect through our website and services.
Our commitment extends to adhering strictly to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the “Privacy Act”) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained within Schedule 1 of the Act. These principles govern the way private sector organisations collect, use, disclose, secure, and provide access to personal information. Establishing this clear commitment and defining the scope of our data handling practices upfront is fundamental to the open and transparent management of personal information required by APP 1. It sets a professional and compliant tone, assuring users that their privacy is taken seriously from the outset.
Scope of Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected, held, used, and disclosed by us through your interaction with the website avatarize.club. This includes information gathered when you browse our content, use our services, click on affiliate links, contact us, or otherwise interact with the site. It details our procedures from the initial collection of information through to its eventual secure disposal or de-identification.Governing Law
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Australia, specifically the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Given that avatarize.club provides reviews and information about online casinos, some of which may operate internationally, it is important to clarify that our operations and this policy are subject to Australian law. This distinguishes our responsibilities under the Privacy Act from the regulatory status of the third-party websites we may review or link to, particularly in the context of Australia’s Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) which regulates the provision of certain online gambling services to Australians.Acceptance
By accessing and using the avatarize.club website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the collection, use, disclosure, and handling of your personal information as described herein. Your continued use of the website signifies your acceptance of the terms outlined in this policy and any subsequent updates. Consent for specific collection activities, where required, will be addressed at the point of collection or as detailed in this policy.Policy Updates
We reserve the right to review and amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. Any updates will be effective immediately upon posting the revised policy on this website. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this policy will indicate when the latest changes were made. We encourage you to periodically review this page to stay informed about how we are protecting your personal information.(Section 2) Personal Information We Collect
- Definition of Personal Information
Under the Privacy Act, “Personal Information” means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. This applies whether the information or opinion is true or not, and whether it is recorded in a material form or not. An individual is ‘reasonably identifiable’ if there is a real possibility that they could be identified from the information, either on its own or in combination with other information. - Types of Personal Information Collected
We collect different types of information through your interaction with avatarize.club. The kinds of personal information we collect and hold are detailed below:- Usage Data: When you visit our website, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends. This data is often collected passively and may include technical information such as your device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address (which may be stored in an anonymized format), browser type and version, operating system, the specific pages of our website that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, the referring website address (if any), and unique device identifiers or other diagnostic data. This information is primarily used for website operation, security, and aggregate analysis.
- Contact Data: We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us directly. This typically occurs when you use a contact form to send us an inquiry, subscribe to a newsletter (if offered), or otherwise communicate with us in a way that requires us to identify you or respond to you. This information may include your name and email address.
- Cookie and Tracking Data: We use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website, hold certain information, facilitate affiliate link tracking, and improve user experience. This data can include information about your preferences, session details, and importantly, data related to your clicks on affiliate links presented on our site. This type of data is integral to the functioning of an affiliate review website, enabling us to potentially earn commissions from third-party operators when you navigate to their sites via our links. Explicitly identifying this category is crucial for transparency regarding our business model. Further details on how we use these technologies are provided in Section 7 (Cookies and Tracking Technologies).
- Sensitive Information
The Privacy Act gives special protection to “Sensitive Information,” which includes information or an opinion about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association or trade union, sexual orientation or practices, criminal record, health information, genetic information, or biometric information.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive information about users of avatarize.club. Our services and website functions do not require this type of data. Should you provide any sensitive information to us unsolicited (e.g., in a free-text field on a contact form or in an email), we will handle it in accordance with APP 4 (Dealing with unsolicited personal information), which typically involves assessing if we could have collected it under APP 3 and, if not, destroying or de-identifying it where lawful and reasonable. We advise you not to provide sensitive information through our website. Collection of sensitive information generally requires explicit consent and must be reasonably necessary for our functions or activities. - Anonymity and Pseudonymity (APP 2)
Individuals generally have the option of interacting with us anonymously or by using a pseudonym. For example, you can browse the reviews and information on avatarize.club without providing any identifying information beyond the Usage Data automatically collected.
However, this option may not always be available or practical. Situations where anonymity or pseudonymity may be impracticable include:- When you choose to contact us and require a response, as we would need your contact details (e.g., email address).
- For the technical operation of the website, which necessarily involves the processing of IP addresses by servers and analytics tools, even if this data is subsequently anonymized or aggregated.
- When interacting with affiliate tracking mechanisms, which rely on cookies and potentially other identifiers to attribute referrals. We will inform you when identification is necessary to provide a particular service or function.
- Summary Table of Personal Information
The following table provides a summary of the main types of personal information we collect, how we collect it, and the primary purposes for collection:
Type of Information | Examples | How Collected | Primary Purpose(s) |
---|
Usage Data | IP address, browser type/version, OS, pages visited, time/date | Automatically via server logs & analytics | Website operation, maintenance, security, performance analysis, improving user experience |
Contact Data | Name, email address | Directly from you via forms, email | Responding to inquiries, providing requested information, sending newsletters (with consent) |
Cookie & Tracking Data | Cookie IDs, click data, session info, pixel data | Automatically via cookies, pixels, etc. | Website functionality, remembering preferences, affiliate link tracking & commission attribution, usage analytics |
*Note: This table provides a summary. Please refer to the relevant sections of this policy for full details.*
(Section 3) How We Collect Personal Information
- Methods of Collection
We collect personal information through various methods, depending on the nature of your interaction with avatarize.club:- Directly from You: The most common way we collect personal information is when you actively provide it to us. This includes when you fill out a contact form, subscribe to a newsletter (if available), send us an email, or otherwise voluntarily submit information through the website.
- Automatically: As you navigate and interact with our website, we automatically collect certain information, primarily Usage Data and Cookie/Tracking Data. This collection occurs passively through technologies such as server logs, cookies, web beacons, and third-party analytics software (like Google Analytics). This automatic collection is fundamental to understanding website performance and enabling the affiliate tracking mechanisms core to our service. Detailed information about the circumstances of this automatic collection is vital for transparency under APP 5.
- From Third Parties: We generally do not collect personal information about you from third parties. Our primary collection methods are direct and automatic. In the context of our affiliate activities, we might receive aggregated or de-identified reports from affiliate networks or partners regarding referral traffic and conversions, but this typically does not contain information that identifies individual users of our site. Should we ever need to collect personal information about you from a third party (which is unlikely for our current operations), we would only do so if you consent, if it’s required or authorized by law, or if collecting it directly from you is unreasonable or impracticable, and we would take reasonable steps to notify you as required by APP 5. It is important to distinguish this from the disclosure of information to third parties (covered in Section 5), which is a standard part of affiliate operations.
- Solicited vs. Unsolicited Information (APP 3 & 4)
We primarily collect “solicited” personal information. This means we collect information that we have requested or that is generated through the standard operation of our website because it is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, our functions and activities. These functions include providing online casino reviews, facilitating user navigation to third-party sites via affiliate links, analysing website usage, and responding to user contact.
Occasionally, we might receive “unsolicited” personal information – information we received but did not take active steps to collect (e.g., personal details included unexpectedly in an email inquiry). In accordance with APP 4, if we receive unsolicited personal information, we will determine, within a reasonable period, whether we could have collected that information under APP 3 if we had solicited it. If we determine that we could not have collected it, and the information is not contained in a Commonwealth record, we will take reasonable steps to destroy the information or ensure it is de-identified, provided it is lawful and reasonable to do so. If we determine we could have collected it, we may retain and handle it in accordance with the APPs. - Notification of Collection (APP 5)
This Privacy Policy serves as our primary notice to you regarding our personal information collection practices, fulfilling key requirements of APP 5. It outlines:- Our identity and contact details (Section 13).
- The types of information collected (Section 2).
- The circumstances of collection (Section 3).
- The purposes for which we collect information (Section 4).
- The main consequences if information is not provided (e.g., inability to respond to an inquiry).
- Our usual disclosures, including to overseas recipients (Sections 5 and 8).
- How you can access/correct your information or make a complaint (Section 10).
Where practicable, at specific points of collection (like a contact form or newsletter sign-up), we may provide a brief reminder notice linking back to this comprehensive policy (‘just-in-time’ notification) to ensure you are aware of how your information will be handled at that moment.
(Section 4) Why We Collect and How We Use Your Personal Information (Purpose - APP 6)
- Primary Purposes
We collect, hold, and use your personal information only for purposes that are reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, our functions and activities as an online casino review and affiliate marketing website. We are committed to collecting only the information that is necessary to achieve these purposes, aligning with the data minimisation principle inherent in APP 3. Our primary purposes include:- Website Operation and Improvement: To operate, maintain, secure, and enhance the functionality and content of avatarize.club. This involves using Usage Data to monitor performance and troubleshoot issues.
- Providing Information Services: To deliver reviews, guides, comparisons, and other relevant content about online casinos and related topics to you.
- Facilitating Affiliate Partnerships: This is a core function of our website. We use Cookie and Tracking Data to monitor and track user clicks on affiliate links displayed on our site. This allows us, and our third-party partners (affiliate networks and casino operators), to attribute potential referrals and subsequent activity back to our website, which may result in us earning a commission. Transparency about this purpose is essential, as it directly relates to the site’s operational model and justifies the collection of specific tracking data.
- Website Analytics: To analyse user behaviour and trends on avatarize.club. We use Usage Data and Cookie/Tracking Data, often in aggregated or de-identified form where possible, to understand how users interact with our content, which helps us improve the website layout, content relevance, and overall user experience. This purpose justifies the collection of analytics-related data.
- Responding to Inquiries: To respond to questions, feedback, or complaints submitted by you through our contact channels (e.g., email or contact form). This requires the use of Contact Data you provide.
- Direct Marketing (with Consent): If you provide explicit consent (e.g., by subscribing to a newsletter), we may use your Contact Data (e.g., email address) to send you promotional materials, updates, or news related to our website or relevant offers. This is strictly opt-in, as detailed in Section 6.
- Security and Fraud Prevention: To monitor for and prevent security incidents, fraudulent activity, or misuse of our website and services. This may involve analysing Usage Data like IP addresses.
- Legal Compliance: To comply with our legal and regulatory obligations under Australian law.
- Secondary Purposes (APP 6)
We will generally only use or disclose your personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected, as listed above. Use or disclosure for a secondary purpose (a purpose different from the primary purpose) will only occur under specific circumstances permitted by APP 6, including:- You have consented to the use or disclosure for the secondary purpose; or
- You would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information for the secondary purpose, and that purpose is related to the primary purpose (or directly related, if the information is sensitive information, although we do not intentionally collect sensitive information) ; or
- The use or disclosure is required or authorized by or under an Australian law or a court/tribunal order; or
- A permitted general situation exists (e.g., to lessen or prevent a serious threat to life, health or safety; or for locating a missing person); or
- We reasonably believe the use or disclosure is reasonably necessary for enforcement related activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body.
We will not use your personal information for secondary purposes unless one of these conditions is met.
(Section 5) Disclosure of Your Personal Information
- Circumstances of Disclosure (APP 6)
Consistent with APP 6, we will only disclose your personal information for the primary purposes for which it was collected, or for permitted secondary purposes as outlined in Section 4. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. - Likely Disclosures
In the course of operating avatarize.club, we may need to disclose your personal information to certain categories of third parties. These include:- Service Providers: We engage third-party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data storage, technical infrastructure provision, website analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), and email delivery services (if you subscribe to communications). These providers only have access to the personal information necessary to perform their functions and are typically subject to contractual obligations requiring them to protect the information and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
- Affiliate Networks and Partners (Casino Operators): This is a critical disclosure related to our core business model. When you click on an affiliate link on our website, certain information is transmitted to the relevant affiliate network (e.g., Commission Factory, Impact Radius, Awin, Rakuten Advertising, CJ Affiliate ) and/or the destination merchant site (the online casino operator). This information is necessary to track the referral, attribute potential sign-ups or activity back to our website, and enable the calculation and payment of commissions. The information shared typically includes a tracking identifier associated with the link, cookie data, potentially your IP address (for geo-location or fraud prevention), and non-personally identifying browser/device information. We do not share your directly identifiable personal information (like your name or email address) with these partners through the affiliate link click itself; any such information would only be provided by you directly to the partner if you choose to register or interact with their site. This disclosure is integral to how affiliate marketing works and occurs as a direct result of you choosing to click an affiliate link.
- Legal and Regulatory Authorities: We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or other legal process. This includes disclosure to government agencies, law enforcement bodies, or regulatory authorities if necessary for compliance, investigation, or enforcement purposes.
- Business Transfers: If avatarize.club or its operating entity is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, financing, or bankruptcy, your personal information may be transferred to the relevant third party as part of that transaction. We would take steps to ensure that the receiving party agrees to handle the information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
- With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information to other third parties not listed above if we have obtained your explicit consent to do so.
While we take steps to ensure third parties handle disclosed information appropriately (including through contractual means and compliance with APP 8 for overseas disclosures), we recommend you review the privacy policies of any third-party service providers or partners you interact with, as their practices are governed by their own policies once you leave our site or once data is disclosed to them.
- Government-Related Identifiers (APP 9)
We do not collect, use, or adopt government-related identifiers (such as Tax File Numbers, driver’s licence numbers, or Medicare numbers) assigned by Australian government agencies as our own identifier for individuals. We will not use or disclose such identifiers unless required or specifically authorized by law, which is highly unlikely in the context of our website’s operations.
(Section 6) Direct Marketing (APP 7)
- Policy on Direct Marketing
APP 7 of the Australian Privacy Principles places specific rules on the use and disclosure of personal information for direct marketing purposes. Direct marketing involves communicating directly with an individual to promote goods or services. This section outlines how we handle personal information in relation to any direct marketing activities we may undertake, such as an email newsletter. It is important to distinguish these direct communications from the general promotional nature of affiliate links displayed on our website, which are governed by other APPs (like APP 1 and APP 6). - Consent
We will only use or disclose your personal information for direct marketing purposes if we have obtained your explicit consent. For example, if we offer a newsletter, you will only be added to the mailing list if you affirmatively subscribe (opt-in), typically by providing your email address through a dedicated sign-up form. We rely on your express consent as the basis for sending you direct marketing communications. Given the nature of our website content, we believe an opt-in approach provides the necessary level of user control and ensures compliance with APP 7. - Opt-Out Mechanism
Every direct marketing communication we send (e.g., promotional email) will include a prominent, simple, and clear mechanism for you to opt-out (or “unsubscribe”) from receiving future communications. This mechanism will be easy to use and functional. We will process your opt-out request promptly and ensure you are removed from the relevant marketing list within a reasonable period, at no cost to you. - Third-Party Marketing
We do not disclose your personal information (such as email lists) to third parties for the purpose of allowing them to directly market their own products or services to you, unless we have obtained your explicit prior consent to do so.
(Section 7) Cookies and Tracking Technologies
- Explanation
Like many websites, avatarize.club uses “cookies” and other similar tracking technologies such as web beacons (also known as clear gifs or pixel tags). Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit certain web pages. They record your preferences and actions, allowing the website to recognize you on subsequent visits or to enable specific functionalities. Web beacons are small electronic files embedded in web pages or emails that allow us to count users who have visited pages or opened an email, and for other related website statistics. - Purpose
We use these technologies for several key purposes:- Essential/Functionality Cookies: These are necessary for the basic operation of our website. They enable core functionalities like navigation and may remember choices you make (e.g., language preference, if applicable) to provide a more personalized experience.
- Performance/Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with avatarize.club by collecting and reporting information anonymously or pseudonymously. We use tools like Google Analytics to gather data on page views, traffic sources, time spent on site, and user journeys. This helps us analyse website performance, identify popular content, and make improvements to user experience.
- Affiliate Tracking Cookies: This is a crucial use of cookies for our website. When you click on an affiliate link that directs you to a third-party online casino or service provider, a cookie is typically placed on your device by us or the affiliate network/partner. This cookie contains a unique identifier that allows the third-party site to recognize that you were referred from avatarize.club. If you subsequently register or perform certain actions on the partner site, this tracking cookie enables the referral to be attributed to us, which may result in us earning a commission. Explicitly stating this purpose is vital for transparency about our business model and data practices under APP 1.
- Advertising/Targeting Cookies (If Applicable): While primarily a review and affiliate site, we might potentially use cookies to assist with advertising, either on our site or to help tailor advertising you might see elsewhere based on your interaction with our site. If such cookies are used, they would typically be set by third-party advertising networks. We will provide specific details here if this practice is implemented.
- Types of Cookies Used
The cookies used on our site may include:- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.
- Persistent Cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.
- First-Party Cookies: Cookies set directly by avatarize.club.
- Third-Party Cookies: Cookies set by domains other than avatarize.club. These are typically associated with services integrated into our site, such as Google Analytics and cookies set by affiliate networks or partners when you click an affiliate link. The use of these third-party cookies is governed by the privacy policies of those third parties.
- Managing Cookies
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. You can typically find these settings in the ‘Options’ or ‘Preferences’ menu of your browser. Disabling cookies may, however, impact your ability to use certain features of avatarize.club, particularly those related to personalization or tracking.
You can find more information about managing cookies in specific browsers via these links (note: these are external links, and we are not responsible for their content):
We may also implement a cookie consent tool or banner on our website to provide you with more granular control over non-essential cookies, enhancing transparency in line with APP 1 principles.
(Section 8) Cross-Border Disclosure of Personal Information (APP 8)
- Likelihood of Disclosure
In the course of providing our services and operating avatarize.club, it is likely that we will disclose some personal information to recipients located outside of Australia. This occurs primarily when we use third-party service providers or interact with affiliate partners whose operations or data processing facilities are based overseas. - Locations
While the specific locations may vary depending on the service providers and partners we engage with, recipients of your personal information may be located in countries including, but not necessarily limited to:- The United States of America (commonly for web hosting, analytics services like Google Analytics, and some affiliate networks).
- Countries within the European Union and the United Kingdom (where various technology providers, affiliate networks, and online casino operators are based).
- Other jurisdictions where our service providers or affiliate partners may operate or process data.
Listing every possible country can be challenging due to the global nature of cloud services and affiliate networks. Where it is not practicable to specify all countries, we acknowledge that disclosures may occur in various regions globally, including North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific. We will update this information if our disclosure practices change significantly.
- Safeguards (Reasonable Steps under APP 8)
APP 8 requires us to take reasonable steps, before disclosing personal information overseas, to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to the information. We remain accountable for the handling of your personal information by overseas recipients unless we have taken such reasonable steps, or an exception applies.
The reasonable steps we may take include:- Entering into contractual agreements with the overseas recipient that impose obligations on them to protect the personal information consistent with the requirements of the APPs or comparable privacy standards.
- Ascertaining, where possible, that the recipient is subject to a law or binding scheme that has the effect of protecting the information in a way that is, overall, substantially similar to the protection offered by the APPs, and where mechanisms exist for individuals to enforce that protection.
- Obtaining your explicit consent to the disclosure, after informing you that APP 8 accountability may not apply if you consent (this is generally not relied upon for routine service provision).
Our general approach is to use contractual clauses and vet our service providers to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for overseas data transfers, demonstrating our commitment to fulfilling our obligations under APP 8.
(Section 9) Data Quality and Security
- Data Quality (APP 10)
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect, use, and disclose is accurate, up-to-date, complete, and relevant, having regard to the purpose of the use or disclosure. The accuracy of information like Usage Data and Cookie Data is inherent in the collection process. For information collected directly, like Contact Data, we rely on you to provide accurate details. You can assist us in maintaining data quality by informing us if your details change. Your rights to request access and correction of your personal information are detailed in Section 10. - Data Security (APP 11)
We are committed to protecting the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, and loss, and from unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. We implement and maintain reasonable security measures appropriate to the circumstances, considering factors such as the nature of our entity, the amount and sensitivity of the information held, the potential adverse consequences of a breach, and the practicality and cost of implementation.
Our security measures include a combination of technical and organisational safeguards. While we cannot detail specific security architecture publicly, these measures generally encompass:- Technical Measures: Use of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption for data transmitted over the internet ; network security measures such as firewalls; access control mechanisms (e.g., password protection, potentially multi-factor authentication where appropriate ); regular updating and patching of software and systems; secure configuration of servers.
- Organisational Measures: Implementing internal policies and procedures for data handling; restricting access to personal information based on roles and necessity (least privilege principle ); staff training on privacy and security obligations (if applicable); procedures for identifying and responding to security incidents.
Recent regulatory focus emphasizes the importance of demonstrating concrete “technical and organisational measures” (TOMs). Our approach aims to meet these evolving expectations by implementing layered security controls. However, it is important to acknowledge that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
- Data Retention and Destruction/De-identification (APP 11.2)
We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or for related purposes that you would reasonably expect, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The retention period varies depending on the type of information and the purpose of collection, as outlined in Section 4. For example, Contact Data from an inquiry may be deleted after the inquiry is resolved, while aggregated analytics data may be retained for longer periods for trend analysis.
In accordance with APP 11.2, when personal information is no longer needed for any purpose for which we are permitted to use or disclose it under the APPs, and we are not legally required to retain it (e.g., as part of a Commonwealth record or under another law ), we will take reasonable steps to destroy the information securely or ensure that it is permanently de-identified. De-identification involves removing or altering information so that an individual is no longer reasonably identifiable. This obligation requires us to actively consider our data holdings and dispose of information that is no longer required. - Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) Scheme
We comply with the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme under Part IIIC of the Privacy Act. In the event of an “eligible data breach” – meaning unauthorized access to, disclosure of, or loss of personal information held by us that is likely to result in serious harm to any of the individuals to whom the information relates – we will take prompt action. This includes undertaking a reasonable and expeditious assessment of whether an eligible data breach has occurred (within 30 days of becoming aware of grounds to suspect a breach). If an eligible data breach is confirmed, we will notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and the affected individuals as soon as practicable, providing required information about the breach and steps individuals can take.
(Section 10) Your Privacy Rights
- General Statement
Under the Australian Privacy Act, you have certain rights regarding the personal information we hold about you. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights. - Right to Access (APP 12)
You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you.- How to Request Access: To request access, please contact our Privacy Officer using the details provided in Section 13. Please specify the information you are seeking access to, to help us locate it efficiently. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.
- Response Time: We will respond to your request within a reasonable period, generally aiming for within 30 days of receiving it.
- Form of Access: We will provide access in the manner you request, if it is reasonable and practicable to do so (e.g., a copy via email). If we cannot provide access in the requested format, we will discuss alternative ways to provide it.
- Grounds for Refusal: In certain circumstances, as permitted by APP 12.3, we may refuse access. These grounds include situations where giving access would pose a serious threat to health or safety, unreasonably impact the privacy of others, relate to legal proceedings, be unlawful, prejudice enforcement activities, or reveal commercially sensitive evaluative information. If we refuse access, we will provide you with a written notice explaining the reasons (unless unreasonable to do so) and outlining the steps you can take to complain about the refusal.
- Charges: Making a request for access is free. We may charge a reasonable fee for the administrative costs of providing access (e.g., photocopying, retrieving files), but we will inform you of any potential charges beforehand.
- Right to Correction (APP 13)
You have the right to request the correction of personal information we hold about you if you believe it is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading.- How to Request Correction: Please contact our Privacy Officer (Section 13) and specify the information you believe is incorrect and what the correction should be. We may need to verify your identity.
- Our Response: We will take reasonable steps to correct the information if we are satisfied that it needs correction, having regard to the purpose for which it is held. We will respond to your request within a reasonable period (aiming for 30 days).
- Refusal to Correct: If we refuse to correct the information, we will provide you with a written notice stating the reasons (unless unreasonable), the mechanisms available to complain, and informing you of your right to request that we associate a statement with the information indicating that you believe it is incorrect.
- Notification to Third Parties: If we correct information that we previously disclosed to another APP entity, you can request that we notify that other entity of the correction, and we will take reasonable steps to do so unless it is impracticable or unlawful.
- Charges: Requesting correction or the association of a statement is free of charge.
- Right to Make a Complaint
If you believe that we have breached the Australian Privacy Principles or mishandled your personal information, you have the right to make a complaint.- Internal Complaint Process: We encourage you to contact us first to allow us the opportunity to resolve the issue directly. Please direct your complaint in writing to our Privacy Officer (details in Section 13), providing as much detail as possible about your concerns. We will acknowledge receipt of your complaint promptly and investigate the matter. We aim to provide a substantive response within a reasonable timeframe, typically 30 days.
- External Complaint Process: If you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint, or if you do not wish to complain to us directly first, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). The OAIC is the independent national regulator for privacy and freedom of information.
- Right to Opt-Out of Direct Marketing
As detailed in Section 6, you have the right to opt-out of receiving direct marketing communications from us at any time. - Right to Anonymity/Pseudonymity
As detailed in Section 2, you have the right to deal with us anonymously or using a pseudonym where it is lawful and practicable to do so.
(Section 11) Children’s Privacy
- Policy Statement
avatarize.club provides content related to online gambling, which is an activity intended for adults. Our website and services are not directed at or intended for use by individuals under the age of 18 years.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information from our servers as soon as possible. This position is important given the adult nature of the content and aligns with increasing focus on protecting minors online, including potential future Australian regulations like a Children’s Online Privacy Code.
If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer immediately using the details in Section 13 so that we can take appropriate action, including removing the information.
(Section 12) Third-Party Links
- Disclaimer
Our website, avatarize.club, contains links to external websites operated by third parties. These include links to the online casino operators we review (often via affiliate links), affiliate networks, advertisers, and potentially other resources.
Please be aware that this Privacy Policy applies only to our website (avatarize.club) and our handling of your personal information. When you click on a link and navigate away from our site to a third-party website, you will be subject to the privacy policies and practices of that third party.
We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of these external websites. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policies of every third-party website you visit to understand how they collect, use, and disclose your information. This clarification is crucial for managing the scope of our policy and user expectations, given that linking to third parties is a fundamental aspect of our affiliate model.
