By using Uptown Pokies Casino, you acknowledge that some information must be processed to operate a secure online casino service, including account administration, payments, game integrity, fraud prevention, and customer support. This policy should be read together with any notices shown at the point of data collection (for example, within registration forms or verification requests).

Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites function efficiently. Uptown Pokies Casino uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixels) to keep you signed in, remember preferences, protect accounts, and understand how the site is used.
Some cookies are necessary for core functionality. Others help us measure performance and improve the service. Where optional cookies are used, you can usually manage them through your browser settings and, where available, on-site preference tools.
Data Sharing
Uptown Pokies Casino does not sell your personal information as a standalone product. We may share information in limited circumstances where it is needed to provide the service, protect the platform, or meet legitimate operational requirements.
- Service providers that process data on our behalf, such as hosting providers, customer support tools, analytics providers, identity/verification providers, and fraud prevention services.
- Payment partners and financial service providers to facilitate deposits, withdrawals, and transaction security checks.
- Game and platform providers to enable gameplay functionality, session management, and troubleshooting.
- Professional advisers where necessary (for example, legal, auditing, or cybersecurity advisers) under appropriate confidentiality obligations.
- Corporate transactions, such as a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, where data may be transferred subject to appropriate protections.
We may also share information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of Uptown Pokies Casino, our players, and the public, including to investigate suspected wrongdoing or to respond to lawful requests. We aim to limit disclosures to what is relevant and proportionate.
Data Security
We apply administrative, technical, and organisational measures designed to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, encryption where appropriate, monitoring, and security testing.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. You play an important role in keeping your account safe by using a strong password, keeping login details private, enabling available account protections, and contacting us promptly if you suspect unauthorised activity.
Data Retention
Uptown Pokies Casino retains information for as long as needed to provide the service and for legitimate business purposes such as dispute handling, security investigations, and recordkeeping. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.
When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete it or de-identify it, unless continued retention is necessary for ongoing account administration, resolving disputes, or maintaining the integrity and security of our services.
Your Rights
Your choices and rights depend on your circumstances and the nature of our relationship with you. Where applicable, you may be able to:
- Request access to certain personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or outdated information.
- Request deletion or de-identification of certain information, noting that some data may need to be retained for security, dispute resolution, and operational recordkeeping.
- Object to, or request restriction of, certain processing in specific situations.
- Opt out of marketing communications where such messages are offered.
- Update account preferences, including some communication and privacy-related settings where available in your profile.
To help protect your account, we may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests. If a request cannot be fulfilled, we will explain the reason where it is appropriate to do so.
Third-Party Services
Uptown Pokies Casino may link to or integrate with third-party services such as payment providers, identity verification tools, game providers, or analytics platforms. These third parties may process information under their own terms and policies.
If you use third-party features, you should review the relevant third-party privacy information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites or services that we do not control.
International Transfers (General Only)
Online casino operations may involve service providers, technical infrastructure, or support functions located in different countries. As a result, your information may be processed or stored outside Australia.
When we transfer information internationally, we take reasonable steps to apply appropriate safeguards suited to the nature of the data and the services involved, with the aim of maintaining consistent protections for player information.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in how Uptown Pokies Casino operates, improvements in security practices, or changes to services and features. When updates are made, we will revise the policy content accordingly and may provide additional notice where the change is significant.
Your continued use of the website after an update means you accept the revised policy, to the extent permitted by applicable standards and practices.
