Let’s break down our privacy policy in one simple sentence. Your privacy matters to us, genuinely.
holidayinnmelbourne.com.au is an affiliate site that publishes guides and reviews about offshore online casinos for Australian players. We don’t run accounts or handle payments, but from time to time, we do receive small bits of information, usually when someone contacts us directly.
This page explains what we collect, how we use it, and what your options are.
Nothing complicated. Just straight answers.
We aim to handle any information responsibly and in line with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.
What We Collect
We keep data collection to a minimum.
Most people can browse the site without giving us anything at all. No sign-ups. No accounts. No forms to unlock content.
If you choose to contact us, we may receive basic details, like your email address and whatever you include in your message. That’s it.
We also collect some technical information automatically when you visit, which is pretty standard for any website. Things like your IP address, browser type, device, pages visited, and how long you stick around. This comes through normal server logs and analytics tools.
We do not collect sensitive information such as financial details, health data, or your gambling history. That’s simply not part of what we do.
How Information Reaches Us
There are only a few ways we get information.
Sometimes you send it directly, like when you email support, report a problem, or share feedback.
Other times, it happens automatically in the background through cookies or analytics tools that help us understand how the site is being used. These tools usually show trends and numbers, not individual identities.
We may also use third-party services like analytics providers to see general traffic patterns. Again, this is anonymised data. We’re looking at overall behaviour, not specific people.
If we don’t need it, we don’t collect it. Simple rule.
How We Use Information
We use the small amount of data we collect to keep the site running smoothly.
Mostly, that means replying to emails, fixing issues you report, improving content, and figuring out which pages are actually useful to visitors. It also helps us spot technical problems or misuse.
We don’t send marketing emails. Also, we don’t build profiles, and we don’t sell data.
And we definitely don’t make automated decisions that affect you.
Sharing and Disclosure
We don’t sell, rent, or trade personal information. Not now. Not ever.
In limited cases, we may share data with basic service providers who help operate the site, like hosting companies, email services, or analytics tools. They only use the information to perform their tasks and are expected to keep it confidential.
We might also disclose information if required by law or to protect the site and its users.
That’s about it.
Some third-party tools store data on servers outside Australia. When that happens, we take reasonable steps to make sure proper protections are in place.
Cookies and Tracking
Like most websites, we use cookies.
Nothing fancy or invasive. Just small pieces of data that help the site function properly and show us anonymous usage stats, such as which pages are popular or where visitors drop off.
We don’t use cookies for targeted advertising or cross-site tracking.
If you prefer, you can disable cookies through your browser settings. The site will still work, though a few features might feel less smooth.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold.
This includes secure hosting, basic safeguards, and careful handling of emails and data. We do what you’d expect a responsible site owner to do.
That said, the internet isn’t perfect. No online system can guarantee complete security, and sending information by email always carries some risk.
We minimise what we collect so there’s less to worry about in the first place.
Your Rights
Under Australian privacy law, you have certain rights.
You can ask what information we hold about you, request corrections if something’s wrong, or raise concerns about how your data has been handled. If you ever want clarification, just reach out.
Email [email protected], and we’ll sort it out within a reasonable timeframe.
If you’re not satisfied with our response, you can also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, which oversees privacy matters in Australia.
Changes to This Policy
From time to time, we may update this page.
Sometimes laws change. Sometimes our processes change. When that happens, we’ll post the updated version here with a new date.
If you keep using the site, that means you’re happy with the changes.
