Privacy Policy for Ricky Casino

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

Welcome to Ricky Casino, operated by Ricky Ricky Casino ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our users and safeguarding the information you share with us. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of your information when you visit and interact with our website, https://rickycasino.au (the "Website").

As a casino review website, Ricky Casino focuses on providing information, reviews, and insights into the online casino industry. We do not operate an online casino ourselves, nor do we facilitate gambling transactions. Our primary goal is to offer valuable, unbiased content to our audience. This policy applies solely to information collected by our Website and does not extend to any third-party websites, including those linked from our platform, which may have their own distinct privacy policies.

By accessing or using our Website, you signify your understanding and acceptance of the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms outlined herein, please refrain from using our Website.

Information We Collect

At Ricky Casino, we collect various types of information to enhance your experience, provide relevant content, and improve our services. The information we collect can be broadly categorised into two main types: Non-Personal Information and Personal Information.

Non-Personal Information

Non-Personal Information refers to data that cannot be used to identify you individually. This type of information is collected automatically as you navigate and interact with our Website. It helps us understand user behaviour, identify popular content, and optimise site performance. Examples of Non-Personal Information we collect include:

• Browser Type and Version: To ensure compatibility and proper display of our content.
• Device Information: Such as the type of device you use (e.g., desktop, mobile, tablet), operating system, and screen resolution, to tailor our website's responsiveness and design.
• IP Address: Your Internet Protocol address, which may indicate your general geographical location. We primarily use this for aggregated statistical purposes, such as understanding the general regions our users come from, and for security to prevent malicious activity. We generally anonymise or truncate IP addresses to further protect your privacy.
• Referral Source: The website or link that brought you to our Website. This helps us understand the effectiveness of our marketing and outreach efforts.
• Pages Viewed and Time Spent: Details about which pages you visit on our Website, the order in which you visit them, and the duration of your stay on each page. This helps us gauge content popularity and user engagement.
• Clickstream Data: Information about your interaction with our Website, such as clicks on links, scrolling behaviour, and search queries within the site.

The primary purpose of collecting Non-Personal Information is for analytical purposes, enabling us to monitor and analyse trends, administer the site, track users' movements on the Website, and gather broad demographic information for aggregate use. This data is invaluable for continuously improving our Website's content, layout, and functionality to better serve our users.

Personal Information (Voluntarily Provided)

Personal Information is data that can be used to identify you as an individual. We only collect Personal Information when you voluntarily choose to provide it to us through specific interactions on our Website. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Email Address: If you subscribe to our newsletter, request information, or contact us through a contact form, you may provide your email address. This is primarily used for communication, sending you updates, or responding to your inquiries.
• Name: You may choose to provide your name when submitting comments, feedback, or contacting us via email or contact forms. This helps us personalise our communication with you.
• Other Information You Voluntarily Provide: Any other details you choose to share in contact forms, feedback submissions, or direct correspondence with us. This might include your preferences, specific questions, or suggestions.

We do not collect sensitive personal data such as financial information, health data, or explicit gambling history directly on our Website, as we are a review site and not an online casino. Any such data you might encounter on third-party sites linked from our Website is subject to their respective privacy policies.

The Personal Information you provide is used strictly for the purposes for which it was submitted, such as responding to your queries, delivering subscribed content, or enabling your participation in specific Website features (e.g., comments section, if available).

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our Website uses "cookies" and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and gather information about how you use our site. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners.

How We Use Cookies

We utilise cookies for several purposes:

• Essential/Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are vital for the fundamental operation of our Website, enabling core functionalities like page navigation and access to secure areas. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies.
• Performance/Analytical Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our Website, such as the number of visitors, the pages they visit most often, and if they encounter error messages. This data helps us understand and improve the performance of our Website. We use third-party analytics services, such as Google Analytics, for this purpose.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow our Website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language, or region) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They can also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts, and other parts of web pages that you can customise.
• Affiliate Tracking Cookies: As a review website, we may include affiliate links to various online casinos. When you click on an affiliate link on our Website, a cookie may be placed on your device by the affiliate network to track your referral from our site to the third-party casino. This allows us to earn a commission if you subsequently register or make a deposit on the affiliated site. These cookies do not collect personal information about you, but rather track the source of the referral.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, please be aware that disabling cookies may affect the functionality and features of our Website and may limit your ability to fully experience all aspects of the site.

For more information on how to manage and delete cookies, you can visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

Third-Party Services

Our Website may contain links to other websites and utilise services provided by third parties. This section details our interactions with such third parties and what that means for your data.

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyse how users use the Website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website (including your IP address, often anonymised or truncated) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Website, compiling reports on Website activity for us, and providing other services relating to Website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
• Affiliate Links: Ricky Casino participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may get paid commissions on purchases made through our links to third-party casino sites. When you click on an affiliate link and are redirected to a third-party website, your activity on that site is subject to the privacy policy of the third party. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these external sites. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
• Other Third-Party Websites: Our Website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
• Service Providers: We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Website, provide the Website on our behalf, perform Website-related services (e.g., maintenance, database management, web analytics, improvement of the Website's features), or assist us in analysing how our Website is used. These third parties have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Personal Information to outside parties for their direct marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

Data Security

The security of your information is paramount to us. We implement a variety of security measures designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorised access, use, alteration, and disclosure. These measures include:

• Encryption: We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS) technology to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our Website, particularly for any forms where you might submit Personal Information.
• Access Controls: Access to Personal Information is restricted to authorised personnel who need the information to perform their specific job functions.
• Regular Security Audits: We conduct periodic reviews and updates of our security practices to address potential vulnerabilities.
• Data Minimisation: We strive to collect only the Personal Information that is strictly necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy.

While we implement commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, it is important to remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. You also play a crucial role in protecting your data by using strong, unique passwords (if applicable) and exercising caution when sharing information online.

Data Retention

We retain your Personal Information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or for as long as required to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. The criteria used to determine our retention periods include:

• The type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.
• The length of our relationship with you and the services we provide.
• Any legal or regulatory obligations that require us to retain data for a specific period.
• The necessity of retaining data to protect our legal rights (e.g., in case of a dispute or investigation).

Non-Personal Information, such as analytics data, may be retained for longer periods for statistical analysis and website improvement, typically in an aggregated and anonymised form that does not identify individual users.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction and applicable data protection laws, you may have certain rights regarding the Personal Information we hold about you. We are committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights where they apply:

• Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your Personal Information that we hold.
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You have the right to request that we erase your Personal Information, under certain conditions (e.g., if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected).
• Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your Personal Information, under certain conditions (e.g., if you contest the accuracy of the data).
• Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your Personal Information, under certain conditions (e.g., for direct marketing purposes, or when processing is based on legitimate interests).
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organisation, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where our processing is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided below. We may need to verify your identity before responding to your request to ensure the security and privacy of your data. We will endeavour to respond to legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically within one month.
