This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is collected and processed when you visit and use the King Johnnie services available via kingjohnnie-aussie.com. It applies to website visitors, users who interact with our content, and individuals who contact our support. By accessing or using this website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy is effective as of 1 January 2026 and remains in force until amended or replaced.

Who We Are

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, references to "we", "us", or "our" refer to the operator of the review website located at https://kingjohnnie-aussie.com, which publishes information and reviews about the brand "King Johnnie", including the King Johnnie content.

At the time of the latest update, the underlying legal entity operating this review website has not publicly disclosed its full legal name, registered office address, or company registration number. Accordingly, the operator acts as the data controller only in relation to data collected through kingjohnnie-aussie.com and associated communication channels, and not for any third-party gambling operator.

If and when a full legal name, legal address and registration details become available, this section will be updated and will prevail over any previous description.

• Engagement data: information on whether you open our emails, click on links in those emails, or interact with promotional content hosted on our website.

4. Payment and Gambling-Related Data

• Payment data: We do not process payments for gambling services and do not collect your payment card details for deposits or withdrawals with online casinos. However, we may collect limited payment-related data if:
  • you purchase any informational or advertising service from us; or
  • we are remunerated via affiliate arrangements and need aggregated payment data from partners for accounting and analytics purposes (without being able to identify your financial details).
• Betting or gaming history: We do not have access to your actual betting history at any third-party casino. We may, however, receive aggregated or anonymised statistics from affiliate or advertising partners about sign-ups, clicks, or conversions generated via kingjohnnie-aussie.com.

5. Behavioral and Profiling Data

• Behavioural data: inferred interests (e.g., preference for certain game types, bonus types, or regions) based on your interactions with our content.
• Profiling for analytics or marketing: where legally permitted and subject to your consent where required, we may segment users into groups for statistical analysis, content optimisation, and targeted marketing.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

• Similar technologies: web beacons, pixels, tags, SDKs, local storage, or other tracking technologies that may be used for analytics, security, and advertising purposes.

  • share certain data with advertising networks or affiliates for personalised marketing, where required by law.

2. Contractual Necessity

• We may process your data where it is necessary to enter into or perform a contract with you, for example to:
  • provide you with subscribed informational services (such as newsletters or alerts);
  • respond to your support requests and maintain your account (if any account system is provided); and

Disclosure & Sharing

We do not sell your personal information as that term may be defined under certain privacy laws. We may, however, disclose or share personal data in the following circumstances, using appropriate contractual and security safeguards:

1. Service Providers and Technical Partners

• Hosting and infrastructure providers: companies that host our servers, databases, and related infrastructure;
• Analytics providers: third-party analytics services (such as web analytics platforms) that help us understand usage of kingjohnnie-aussie.com;
• Email and communication tools: vendors that facilitate the sending of emails, newsletters, and support communications;
• Security providers: entities that assist us with monitoring, incident detection, and security assessments.

2. Payment, Affiliate, and Advertising Partners

• Affiliate partners: gambling operators and advertising partners that track conversions and referrals originating from our website using unique tracking links or cookies. Typically, these partners receive device and interaction data, not your direct identity, unless you separately provide it to them.
• Payment processors (if applicable): third-party processors we may use to accept payment for any informational or advertising services. These processors may receive your payment card and billing details directly; we do not usually store such data on our systems.
• Advertising networks: subject to your consent where required, we may share pseudonymous identifiers and usage data with advertising networks to display or measure advertisements.

3. Regulatory and Public Authorities

• Regulators and enforcement bodies: where required or permitted by applicable law, we may disclose information to regulators, law enforcement agencies, and public authorities. In the Australian context, this may include the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), particularly in relation to illegal offshore gambling content and blocking orders referencing "King Johnnie".
• Courts and legal advisers: we may share information with external legal advisers, auditors, or courts for the purpose of obtaining legal advice, complying with legal proceedings, or establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims.

4. Corporate Transactions

• In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, restructuring, or similar transaction involving our website or business, personal data may be disclosed to potential or actual purchasers and their advisers, subject to strict confidentiality obligations. In such cases, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that any new controller will continue to respect this Privacy Policy or provide equivalent protection.

5. With Your Consent

• We may disclose your information to third parties when you explicitly consent to or request such sharing, such as when you ask us to introduce you to a partner or participate in a specific promotion.

International Transfers

Our services may be provided using infrastructure, service providers, and partners located in multiple jurisdictions, which can involve the transfer of personal data across national borders.

1. Locations of Processing

• Your data may be processed in:
  • Australia (primary target region for the King Johnnie content);
  • Member States of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom;
  • Other countries where our hosting providers, analytics providers, advertising networks, or affiliate partners operate, which may include the United States and other regions.

2. Safeguards for Cross-Border Transfers

• When transferring personal data from regions with specific transfer requirements (such as the EEA or UK) to countries that are not subject to an adequacy decision, we seek to implement appropriate safeguards, which may include:
  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or equivalent UK International Data Transfer Agreements;
  • contractual obligations requiring recipients to implement robust data protection and security measures; and
  • technical measures such as encryption and pseudonymisation where appropriate.
• We also regularly review our service providers' security posture and privacy practices.

3. Your Acknowledgement

• By using kingjohnnie-aussie.com, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred and processed in countries that may have data protection laws that are different from those in your jurisdiction, but we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy is protected in line with this Policy.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and applicable law.

1. General Retention Guidelines

• Contact and correspondence data: typically retained for up to 3 - 5 years after the last meaningful interaction, to handle follow-up requests and demonstrate compliance should disputes arise.
• Technical and log data: usually retained for a shorter period, such as 6 - 24 months, unless a longer period is required for security, fraud investigation, or legal obligations.
• Marketing and preference data: retained until you withdraw your consent, opt out, or until a maximum period defined by applicable law is reached (for example, 2 - 5 years after your last interaction).
• Contractual and accounting data: maintained for the duration required by applicable tax, accounting, and corporate record-keeping laws, which may extend up to 5 - 7 years, depending on the jurisdiction.

2. Criteria for Determining Retention Periods

• the volume, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data;
• the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure;
• the purposes for which we process the data and whether we can achieve those purposes by other means;
• the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, or reporting requirements;
• whether the data is reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights or respond to regulatory requests (including from ACMA in Australia).

3. Deletion and Anonymisation

• Once data is no longer required for the purposes set out in this Policy, we will either:
  • securely delete or destroy it; or
  • irreversibly anonymise it so that it is no longer associated with an identifiable individual.
• Upon valid request, and subject to any overriding legal obligations, we will delete or anonymise your personal data as described in the "Your Rights" section.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have a number of rights in relation to your personal data. We seek to align our practices broadly with internationally recognised standards, including principles reflected in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Where Mexican or other regional data protection regulations apply, we will take them into account to the extent relevant, although our primary focus is on visitors from Australia.

1. Right of Access

• You may request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, if so, obtain a copy of such data along with information about how it is used.

2. Right to Rectification

• You may request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data that we hold about you.

3. Right to Erasure

• You may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, for example where:
  • the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected;
  • you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing;
  • you legitimately object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds; or
  • the data has been processed unlawfully.
• We may retain certain data where necessary to comply with legal obligations or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

4. Right to Restriction of Processing

• You may request that we restrict processing of your data in specific situations, such as when you contest its accuracy, or when processing is unlawful but you do not want the data erased.

5. Right to Object

• You may object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data based on our legitimate interests.
• You also have an unconditional right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling related to such marketing.

6. Right to Data Portability

• Where processing is based on your consent or on a contract with you and is carried out by automated means, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.

7. Right to Withdraw Consent

• Where we rely on your consent for specific processing activities (such as marketing communications or non-essential cookies), you may withdraw your consent at any time by:
  • using the unsubscribe link in marketing emails; or
  • contacting us at [email protected].
• Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

8. Procedures, Timeframes, and Cost

  • your full name;
  • your contact details; and
  • the right(s) you wish to exercise and a brief description of your request.
• Verification: To protect your privacy, we may need to verify your identity before acting on your request, which may involve asking for additional information.

Data Security

We implement a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data processed in connection with King Johnnie and kingjohnnie-aussie.com against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

1. Technical Measures

• Encryption in transit: data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2 or higher), where technically supported.
• Encryption at rest: where practicable, storage systems hosting personal data are configured to encrypt data at rest or use other mechanisms to reduce the risk of unauthorised access.

• Incident response: we maintain processes to identify, assess, and respond to suspected data breaches or security incidents. Where required by law, we will notify affected individuals and/or relevant authorities without undue delay.

3. Industry Standards

• While we strive to align with internationally recognised security practices, we do not currently claim formal certification under specific standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 or SOC 2. Nevertheless, we apply reasonable safeguards commensurate with the nature of the data and risks involved.
• No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we are committed to taking appropriate measures to reduce risks.
