- Deliver personalised content based on account activity
Users may withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time by updating their account preferences or contacting support directly.
Transparency and Legal Basis
Every data processing activity is conducted on a recognised legal basis, including user consent, contractual necessity, or a legal obligation. No personal information is processed for purposes beyond those stated in this document without prior user consent.
Access to Information
Users have the right to access, correct, or update the personal information held in their account at any time.
How to Access or Update Personal Information
Users may manage their personal details through the following methods:
- Logging into their account and updating information directly via the account settings page
- Submitting a written request to the customer support team, which will be processed within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable Australian privacy law
Requesting Data Modification or Removal
If a user believes that personal information on record is inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete, they may request a correction. Where there is no ongoing legal or regulatory obligation to retain the data, deletion requests will be assessed and actioned accordingly.
Requests for data modification or deletion should include:
- Full name and registered account details
- A description of the information to be corrected or removed
- A copy of relevant identification documentation where required for verification
Security Verification and Consent
Before processing any request to access or modify personal data, identity verification may be required. Users consent to this process upon registration and acknowledge that such checks are necessary to protect account security.
Payment Data and Third-Party Processors
Payment information is processed through authorised third-party electronic service providers. These providers operate under strict data security and confidentiality obligations. Golden Crown does not store complete payment card details on its own systems. Users acknowledge that submitting payment information constitutes consent for its processing by approved payment service providers for the sole purpose of completing financial transactions.
Protection of Children’s Privacy
Golden Crown does not permit the use of its online casino or sportsbook services by individuals under the age of 18. Registration is restricted to adults, and users must confirm their age and eligibility during the account creation process.
Age Verification Limitations
While age confirmation is required at registration, the operator acknowledges that online age verification has inherent limitations. Golden Crown cannot independently confirm a user’s age without supporting documentation. As a result:
- Users may be requested to submit government-issued identification at any stage to verify age eligibility
- Accounts will be suspended pending verification if there is reasonable cause to suspect a user is under 18
Requests from Parents or Guardians
If a parent or legal guardian believes that a minor has registered an account or submitted personal information without authorisation, they may contact the customer support team to request:
- Immediate suspension or closure of the account
- Deletion of all personal data associated with the account
Such requests must include supporting documentation confirming the identity of the requesting party and their relationship to the minor. All verified requests will be actioned promptly in accordance with Australian privacy obligations and responsible gambling requirements.
International Data Transfers
In the course of providing its services, Golden Crown may transfer personal data to, and process it in, countries other than Australia. This may occur where the operator maintains partners, affiliates, technology providers, or support teams in other jurisdictions.
Consent to International Transfers
By registering an account and using this website, users provide informed consent for their personal information to be transferred internationally as described in this policy. Users who do not consent to such transfers should refrain from using the service.
Data Protection Standards for International Partners
Golden Crown takes reasonable steps to ensure that all agents, partners, and affiliates who receive personal data in other jurisdictions are bound by confidentiality obligations and data protection standards that are consistent with, or equivalent to, those required under Australian privacy law.
Specific safeguards applied to international data transfers include:
- Contractual data protection clauses with all third-party recipients
- Regular review of partner compliance with data security requirements
- Restrictions on how transferred data may be used, stored, and disclosed
Personal information transferred internationally is not used for any purpose beyond those described in this document.
