6. Cookie Policy
The Heaps Of Wins Casino cookie policy governs how we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit heapsofwins-casino-au.com. Cookies help us remember your preferences, keep you logged in and understand how you interact with our site. Below we explain the categories of cookies we use and the purpose of each.
6.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly. Without them, core features such as account login, session management and secure payment processing would not operate. Because they are essential to the service, they do not require your consent and cannot be disabled.
6.2 Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies allow us to collect aggregated and anonymised data about how visitors navigate heapsofwins-casino-au.com — which pages are visited most, how long sessions last and where players encounter errors. This data processing helps us continuously improve the platform. We use tools such as Google Analytics for this purpose. These cookies require your consent where mandated by applicable law.
6.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies remember your individual preferences — such as your chosen language, currency display and notification settings — so that you enjoy a personalised experience every time you return to Heaps Of Wins Casino. These are optional but significantly enhance usability.
6.4 Marketing and Targeting Cookies
With your consent, Heaps Of Wins Casino and selected advertising partners may place marketing cookies on your device to deliver personalised promotions and track the effectiveness of campaigns. You may opt out of marketing cookies at any time through our cookie consent banner or your browser settings. Opting out does not affect your ability to use the casino.
6.5 Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can review and change your cookie preferences at any time by accessing the cookie settings panel at the bottom of any page on heapsofwins-casino-au.com. You may also configure your browser to block or delete cookies; however, please note that disabling certain cookies may impact the functionality of the site. Our Heaps Of Wins Casino cookie policy is updated periodically to reflect new technologies and regulatory requirements.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Consent Required | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Session management, login, payment security | No | Session / up to 1 year |
| Analytical | Traffic analysis, performance monitoring | Yes | Up to 2 years |
| Functional | Language, currency, UI preferences | Yes | Up to 1 year |
| Marketing | Personalised ads, campaign tracking | Yes | Up to 2 years |
7. Sharing Your Personal Data with Third Parties
The Heaps Of Wins Casino data protection framework restricts the sharing of your personal information to circumstances where it is genuinely necessary. We never sell your data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. The entities with whom we may share your user data include:
7.1 Payment Providers
To process your deposits and withdrawals, we share relevant financial personal data with our payment partners, including providers of PayID, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Neosurf, Bitcoin and other payment methods. These providers are contractually obligated to maintain strict confidentiality and data security standards.
7.2 Identity Verification and KYC Providers
To comply with AML and KYC obligations, we work with third-party identity verification agencies. These partners receive only the minimum personal information required to confirm your identity and may retain records for their own legal compliance purposes.
7.3 Game Software Providers
Heaps Of Wins Casino works with more than 50 software providers — including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO, NetEnt, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Hacksaw Gaming, Push Gaming, Spribe, Red Tiger, Nolimit City and Relax Gaming. Certain technical user data (such as your session token and game state) is shared with these providers to deliver gameplay. They do not receive your full profile and are bound by data protection agreements.
7.4 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities
Where required by law, court order or regulatory direction, Heaps Of Wins Casino will disclose your personal data to relevant government bodies, regulators or law enforcement agencies. We will notify you of such disclosures to the extent permitted by law.
7.5 Fraud Prevention and Analytics Partners
We share pseudonymised or aggregated user data with fraud detection services and analytics platforms to protect the integrity of our platform and improve service quality. Such sharing does not identify you personally.
7.6 Professional Advisers
Our lawyers, auditors and other professional advisers may access your personal information where strictly necessary for the provision of their services, always subject to contractual confidentiality obligations.
8. International Transfers of Personal Data
Because Heaps Of Wins Casino is operated from Curaçao and uses global service providers, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Australia. Where such international transfers occur, we ensure they are carried out in compliance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and relevant international data protection standards. Safeguards we rely on include:
- Standard contractual clauses (SCCs) or equivalent contractual protections
- Transfers only to jurisdictions with an adequate level of data protection as recognised by relevant authorities
- Binding corporate rules where applicable
- Additional technical and organisational information security measures such as encryption in transit and at rest
You may request further information about the specific safeguards applied to international transfers of your personal information by contacting our Data Protection Officer at the address below.
9. Data Security Measures
Heaps Of Wins Casino data security is built on industry-leading technical and organisational measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, destruction or disclosure. Our primary security measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — all data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using 256-bit SSL/TLS technology, the same standard used by major financial institutions.
- Firewalls and intrusion detection systems — our servers are protected by advanced firewalls and continuously monitored for suspicious activity.
- Encryption at rest — sensitive personal information and financial data stored in our databases is encrypted at rest to prevent exposure in the event of a breach.
- Access controls — only authorised personnel with a strict need-to-know may access your user data, and all access is logged and audited.
- RNG certification — our Random Number Generator is independently certified by accredited laboratories, ensuring fair play and information security in gaming outcomes.
- KYC verification — mandatory identity verification before the first withdrawal protects both players and our platform from fraud.
- Regular security audits — we conduct periodic internal and external security audits to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
Despite these robust protections, no system is entirely immune to risk. In the unlikely event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, Heaps Of Wins Casino will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within the timeframes required by law.
10. Data Retention and Data Storage
Heaps Of Wins Casino data storage practices are designed to keep your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, and to comply with our legal obligations. Our general retention periods are as follows:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identification data | Duration of account + 5 years after closure | AML and KYC legal requirements |
| Financial transaction records | 7 years from transaction date | Tax and AML compliance |
| Gaming activity logs | 5 years from last activity | Dispute resolution and responsible gambling monitoring |
| Communication records | 3 years from last contact | Customer service and dispute resolution |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn + 3 years | Proof of consent |
| Cookie and analytics data | Up to 2 years | Service improvement |
| Self-exclusion records | Duration of exclusion + 5 years | Responsible gambling obligations |
When the applicable retention period expires, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised. Heaps Of Wins Casino data storage infrastructure is designed to ensure that deletion requests and end-of-retention purges are carried out reliably and in accordance with data protection law.
11. Your Privacy Rights
As an Australian player, you have a range of privacy rights under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and, where the GDPR applies, under European data protection law. Heaps Of Wins Casino privacy rights commitments mean we will honour every valid request promptly and without charge (subject to reasonable exceptions).
11.1 Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This is sometimes called a Subject Access Request (SAR). We will respond within 30 days of receiving a valid request. The information will be provided in a clear, structured format.
11.2 Right to Correction
If any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request its correction. You may also update certain details directly within your account settings on heapsofwins-casino-au.com.
11.3 Right to Deletion ("Right to be Forgotten")
In certain circumstances, you may request that we delete your personal data. This right is subject to exceptions — for example, where we are required by law to retain your data or where it is necessary for legal proceedings. When deletion is possible, Heaps Of Wins Casino will carry it out within 30 days.
11.4 Right to Restrict Processing
You may request that we temporarily pause the data processing of your personal information — for example, while a dispute is being resolved or while you contest the accuracy of the data we hold.
11.5 Right to Data Portability
Where the legal basis for processing is consent or contractual necessity, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and to transmit it to another data controller. Contact us at [email protected] to make a portability request.
11.6 Right to Object
You have the right to object to the data processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes (at any time, unconditionally) or for purposes based on legitimate interests (where your individual situation gives you grounds to do so). Heaps Of Wins Casino will stop the relevant processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.
11.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where Heaps Of Wins Casino processes your personal data on the basis of your consent — for example, for marketing emails or non-essential cookies — you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
11.8 Right Not to Be Subject to Automated Decision-Making
Where we use automated processes that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you (such as automated account suspension for fraud), you have the right to request human review of that decision.
12. Supervisory Authority — OAIC
If you are not satisfied with how Heaps Of Wins Casino has handled your personal data or responded to your privacy rights request, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) — Australia's independent privacy regulator.
- Website: www.oaic.gov.au
- Phone: 1300 363 992 (within Australia)
- Post: GPO Box 5218, Sydney NSW 2001
We would always encourage you to contact us directly first so that we have an opportunity to resolve your concern, but your right to contact the OAIC is unconditional and we will never restrict it.
13. Responsible Gambling and Privacy
Heaps Of Wins Casino collects and processes personal data in direct support of its responsible gambling programme. When you set deposit limits, bet limits, loss limits or session time restrictions — or when you request a cooling-off period (24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days or 30 days) or a self-exclusion (6 months, 1 year, 5 years or permanent) — that information is stored securely and used exclusively to enforce your chosen protections. This data processing is carried out under legal obligation and for your own welfare. We will never use your responsible gambling data for marketing purposes, and we apply additional layers of confidentiality to it within our systems.
14. Children's Privacy
Heaps Of Wins Casino is strictly an adult gaming platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. Age verification is a mandatory part of our KYC process, and accounts found to belong to minors will be closed immediately and any funds returned. If you believe a minor has registered on our platform, please contact us immediately at [email protected].
15. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated by Heaps Of Wins Casino. This privacy policy does not apply to those external sites, and we are not responsible for the data protection practices of third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any website you visit through a link on heapsofwins-casino-au.com.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
The Heaps Of Wins Casino privacy policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technology, or legal obligations. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email (to the address registered on your account), by a prominent notice on our website, or both. The updated policy will display the date of the most recent revision at the top of the page. Continued use of heapsofwins-casino-au.com after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your personal information.
