Data Retention and Storage
Golden Crown Casino data storage practices are governed by both legal requirements and our internal retention policies. We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including meeting our legal, regulatory, accounting, and reporting obligations.
| Category of Data | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account registration data | Duration of account plus 5 years after closure |

| Gaming activity logs | 5 years |
| Customer support communications | 3 years |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn, plus 3 years |
| Cookie data (analytical and marketing) | Up to 2 years, depending on the specific cookie |
After the applicable retention period has expired, we will securely delete or anonymise your personal data in accordance with our internal data destruction procedures. Where data is anonymised, it may be retained indefinitely for statistical and analytical purposes, as it can no longer be linked to you as an individual. All data storage practices are reviewed periodically to ensure ongoing compliance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988.
Your Privacy Rights
As an Australian player, you benefit from a robust set of privacy rights under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. Additionally, if you are located in the EU or UK, the GDPR grants you further rights in relation to your personal data. Golden Crown Casino is committed to upholding all of these privacy rights and making it easy for you to exercise them.
Your Rights Under Australian Privacy Law and the GDPR
- Right of access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you and information about how we use it.
- Right to correction: If any of the personal data we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date, you have the right to request that we correct it.

- Right to restriction of processing: You may request that we restrict the data processing of your information in certain situations, for example while we investigate a complaint.
- Right to data portability: Where processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis, including for direct marketing purposes.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent for processing, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before you withdrew consent.
