Velvet Spins Casino Cookie Policy
The Velvet Spins Casino cookie policy governs how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on velvetspinss-au.com. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help us deliver a better, more personalised experience. Our use of cookies falls into four main categories:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, you cannot log in, navigate securely or complete transactions. They do not require your consent as they are fundamental to service delivery.
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our site — which pages are most visited, where users encounter issues and how long sessions last. This data processing informs our continuous improvement efforts. We use tools such as Google Analytics, with data anonymised wherever possible.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences — such as language settings, chosen currency or your last-played games — so you enjoy a more seamless experience each time you visit Velvet Spins Casino.
Marketing Cookies
With your consent, marketing cookies allow us to serve you relevant promotional content across our own site and selected third-party channels. You can opt out at any time through our cookie preference centre or your browser settings.
You can manage your cookie preferences through the consent banner that appears when you first visit our site. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect your experience of the Velvet Spins Casino platform.
Sharing Your Personal Data with Third Parties
Velvet Spins Casino does not sell your personal data to third parties. However, to deliver our full range of services, we share certain user data with carefully selected partners on a need-to-know basis. These include:
- Payment Processors: To handle deposits and withdrawals via PayID, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Neosurf, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin, we share relevant financial and identity data with our payment partners.
- Identity Verification Services: Third-party KYC providers assist us in verifying your identity as required under our gaming licence.
- Game Content Providers: Suppliers such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO, NetEnt and Microgaming may receive limited technical user data to facilitate gameplay and resolve disputes.
- Regulatory Authorities: We may be required to disclose personal information to the Government of Curaçao, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) or other authorities when lawfully required to do so.
- Fraud Prevention Agencies: We share data with anti-fraud networks to protect all players and maintain the integrity of our data security environment.
- Professional Advisors: Lawyers, auditors and accountants who assist us in running our business may have access to relevant personal data under strict confidentiality agreements.
All third-party partners are contractually bound to process your personal data only for the purposes we specify, maintain appropriate data security measures and comply with applicable data protection law.
International Data Transfers
As an internationally licensed online casino serving Australian players, Velvet Spins Casino may transfer your personal data to countries outside Australia. When such transfers occur, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:
- Standard contractual clauses approved by relevant data protection authorities
- Transfers only to countries with adequate data protection frameworks recognised under Australian law
- Binding corporate rules where applicable within our group of companies
Our data storage infrastructure is hosted in secure, accredited data centres, and all transfers are encrypted to protect your personal information in transit.
Data Security at Velvet Spins Casino
Velvet Spins Casino data security is a top priority. We deploy a comprehensive suite of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These measures include:
- 256-Bit SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected by industry-standard 256-bit SSL encryption, the same technology used by major banks.
- Firewall Protection: Our network is protected by enterprise-grade firewalls that monitor and control incoming and outgoing traffic based on security rules.
- Access Controls: Only authorised personnel have access to your personal data, and all access is logged and audited for compliance purposes.
- Data Minimisation: We apply the principle of collecting only the personal information we genuinely need — no more, no less.
- Regular Security Audits: Our systems undergo periodic security testing and third-party audits to identify and address vulnerabilities.
- Staff Training: All employees with access to user data receive regular training on information security protocols and confidentiality obligations.
- Incident Response: We maintain a documented data breach response procedure. In the event of a breach that poses a risk to your rights, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority as required by law.
While we take every reasonable precaution to ensure data security, no system connected to the internet can be guaranteed entirely secure. We encourage you to protect your own account by using a strong, unique password and enabling two-factor authentication where available.
Data Retention and Storage
The Velvet Spins Casino approach to data storage is guided by the principle of keeping your personal data only for as long as necessary. Our standard retention periods are as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account and Identity Data | Duration of account + 7 years | Legal and regulatory compliance (AML obligations) |
| Transaction Records | 7 years from transaction date | Financial record-keeping and tax compliance |
| Gaming Activity Logs | 5 years from the date of activity | Dispute resolution and responsible gambling monitoring |
| Communication Records | 3 years from date of interaction | Support quality and complaint management |
| Marketing Data | Until consent is withdrawn | Consent-based data processing |
| Technical and Log Data | 12 months | Security monitoring and fraud prevention |
After the applicable retention period, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised. Anonymised data may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes, as it no longer constitutes personal information.
Your Privacy Rights
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles — as well as the GDPR where applicable — you hold a range of privacy rights with respect to your personal data held by Velvet Spins Casino. The Velvet Spins Casino privacy framework gives you meaningful control over your information:
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within 30 days of a verified request. This is sometimes called a Subject Access Request (SAR).
Right to Correction
If any of your personal information is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, you may request that we correct or update it without undue delay.
Right to Deletion
You may request deletion of your personal data where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent, or where data processing has been unlawful. Please note that certain legal obligations may prevent us from deleting some records immediately.
Right to Restrict Processing
In certain circumstances, you may ask us to restrict data processing — for example, while a correction request is being assessed or if you object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on your consent or a contract, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transfer it to another provider if you wish.
Right to Object
You may object to data processing based on our legitimate interests at any time. You also have an unconditional right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we rely on your consent to process personal data — such as for marketing emails or non-essential cookies — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the legality of prior processing.
To exercise any of your privacy rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We aim to respond within 30 days, though complex requests may take up to 90 days, in which case we will notify you of the delay.
