"Every site here is one I've funded with real NZD and cashed out from myself — if they don't pay, they're not on this page."

This policy explains how bestonlinepokies.nz handles personal information when you use our site. We keep data collection to a minimum and we do not sell your personal information. We handle information consistently with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.

What We Collect

We collect very little. Most visitors browse the site without giving us any personal details at all. The information we may hold falls into two groups:

  • Information you give us. If you use our contact form, we receive the name, email address and message you choose to send so we can reply to you.
  • Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our systems and analytics tools log technical data such as your approximate location, device and browser type, the pages you view and how you arrived at the site. This is aggregated and used to understand traffic, not to identify you personally.

Cookies & Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, to remember basic preferences, to measure traffic with analytics, and to track referrals to the casinos we link to. Analytics help us see which reviews and guides are useful; affiliate cookies let partner operators recognise that a visitor came from us. For the full detail, including how to control cookies, see our Cookie Policy.

How We Use Data

We use the information we hold only to:

  • respond to messages and corrections you send us;
  • understand how the site is used so we can improve our content;
  • measure the performance of our affiliate links; and
  • keep the site secure and working properly.

We do not use your data to make automated decisions about you, and we do not send marketing emails.

Third Parties

We share data only with the service providers that help us run the site — for example, our website host, our analytics provider, and the affiliate networks that track referrals to casinos. These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy terms. When you click through to a casino, that operator becomes responsible for any information you give it; its privacy practices are its own, not ours. We never sell your personal information to anyone.

Your Rights

Under New Zealand privacy law you have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to request that we correct it if it is wrong, and to ask us to delete it where we have no ongoing need to keep it. To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our contact page and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it. Contact-form messages are retained while we deal with your enquiry and for a short period afterwards in case you follow up, then deleted. Aggregated analytics data is retained in line with our analytics provider's standard retention settings and is not tied to your identity.

Contact

If you have any question about this policy or about how we handle your data, please get in touch via our contact page. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time; the "last updated" date above shows the current version.
