What information we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over your data.
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.
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:
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.
We use the information we hold only to:
We do not use your data to make automated decisions about you, and we do not send marketing emails.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"He waka eke noa" — we are all in this together.
