7. Sharing Your Personal Data with Third Parties
We treat confidentiality as a core commitment and do not sell your personal information to third parties. However, in certain circumstances, we may need to share your user data with trusted partners and authorities in order to operate our services and meet our legal obligations.
7.1 Payment Providers
We share the minimum necessary financial information with payment processors such as Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Neosurf, Paysafecard and cryptocurrency payment gateways to facilitate deposits and withdrawals. These providers operate under their own strict data protection frameworks and are contractually bound to handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable privacy law.

7.4 Business Partners and Affiliates
We may share anonymised or aggregated data with trusted marketing affiliates, analytics providers and technology partners to improve our services and deliver relevant promotional content. Such sharing is always conducted within the bounds of applicable data protection law and subject to strict contractual obligations of confidentiality.
7.5 Corporate Transactions
In the event of a merger, acquisition or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred to the acquiring entity, subject to equivalent commitments of data protection as outlined in this Uptown Casino privacy policy.
8. International Data Transfers
As an online casino operated from Curaçao and serving Australian players, some of your personal data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside Australia. Where such transfers occur, Uptown Casino implements appropriate safeguards to maintain the required level of data protection, including:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by relevant data protection authorities
- Transfers only to jurisdictions that provide an adequate level of information security and privacy protection
- Data processing agreements with all third-party service providers that mandate compliance with applicable privacy standards
We ensure that any international data storage or transfer arrangements meet the standards required under both the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and, where applicable, the GDPR.
9. Uptown Casino Data Security
Uptown Casino data security is a top priority. We implement a comprehensive range of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, loss, destruction or disclosure. Our information security infrastructure includes:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption across all pages and transactions, ensuring that data transmitted between your device and our servers remains completely private and protected.
- Firewall systems and intrusion detection software to prevent unauthorised access to our servers and databases.
- Data encryption at rest to protect stored personal and financial information from unauthorised access or disclosure.
- Access controls limiting personal data access to authorised personnel only, on a strict need-to-know basis.
- Regular security audits and penetration testing conducted by independent cybersecurity specialists.
- RNG certification by independent testing laboratories to ensure game fairness and the overall integrity of our platform.
- Multi-factor authentication options to add an extra layer of protection to your player account.
Despite these robust information security measures, no online system is entirely impenetrable. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the relevant supervisory authorities in accordance with applicable law and within the required timeframes.
10. Data Storage and Retention Periods
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal and regulatory requirements. The following retention principles govern Uptown Casino data storage:
| Data Category | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Account and identification data | For the lifetime of the account plus 7 years after closure |
| Financial transaction records | 7 years from the date of the transaction (AML obligation) |
| Gaming activity logs | 5 years from the date of the session |
| Communication records (support tickets, live chat) | 3 years from the date of the interaction |
| Marketing preferences and consent records | Until consent is withdrawn or account is closed |
| Cookie data | Session cookies expire on browser close; persistent cookies up to 2 years |
At the end of the applicable retention period, your personal data will be securely deleted or anonymised in a manner that prevents its reconstruction. Where anonymisation is applied, the resulting data is no longer considered personal data and may be retained for statistical or analytical purposes indefinitely.
11. Your Privacy Rights
As an Australian player and, where applicable, as a data subject under the GDPR, you enjoy a comprehensive set of privacy rights in relation to your personal information held by Uptown Casino. These Uptown Casino privacy rights are described in full below.
11.1 Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, including details of how it is being used, on what legal basis it is processed, and with whom it has been shared. This is sometimes called a Subject Access Request (SAR).
11.2 Right to Correction
If any of your personal information is inaccurate, outdated or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct or update it. You can update basic account details directly through your player profile or by contacting us at [email protected].
11.3 Right to Deletion (Right to Be Forgotten)
Under certain circumstances, you may request the deletion of your personal data. Please note that this right is subject to legal retention obligations — for example, we are required to retain financial and KYC records for regulatory purposes even after account closure, and such data cannot be deleted on request.
11.4 Right to Restriction of Processing
You may request that we restrict the data processing of your personal data in specific situations — for example, while a dispute about its accuracy is being resolved, or while you exercise your right to object.
11.5 Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on your consent or on the performance of a contract, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and transfer it directly to another controller where technically feasible.
11.6 Right to Object
You have the right to object to data processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including profiling for direct marketing purposes. Upon receiving such an objection, we will cease processing your personal information for that purpose unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms.
11.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where data processing is based on your consent — for example, marketing emails or certain cookies — you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing that was carried out before the withdrawal date.
To exercise any of these privacy rights, please contact our DPO at [email protected]. We will acknowledge your request and provide a full response within 30 days. In certain complex or high-volume cases, we may extend this period by a further 60 days, in which case we will notify you of the extension and the reasons for it before the original 30-day deadline expires.
12. Supervisory Authority — OAIC
If you are an Australian resident and you believe that Uptown Casino has not handled your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 or the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
