Privacy Policy

About this Privacy Policy

Cristal Poker Casino aims to handle personal information responsibly and transparently. This policy applies to information collected through the website, account services, customer support channels and related online interactions. It is intended for players in Australia and should be read together with the website’s other terms, rules and responsible gambling information.

Personal information means information that identifies a person, or information that can reasonably be connected with them. The information handled will depend on how a player uses the website. For example, more information may be required when a player opens an account, requests a payment, completes an identity check, asks for account support or participates in required security processes.

Providing some information is necessary to create and operate an account. If requested information is not provided, or if it cannot be verified when verification is required, access to some services may be limited, delayed or unavailable. Cristal Poker Casino will seek to collect information that is relevant to operating the website, meeting legal and security responsibilities, supporting players and improving the online experience.

This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website, services, technology or applicable privacy requirements. The current version published on the website will apply to information handled after the updated policy takes effect. Players should review this page periodically for important changes.

Information we may collect

The types of information a casino website typically handles include information provided by a player, information created through account activity and technical information collected when the website is used. Depending on the circumstances, this may include the following categories:

• Account details, such as a player’s name, date of birth, contact details, login information, account preferences and responsible gambling settings.
• Identity and verification information, including copies or details from identity documents, information used to confirm age and identity, and records of verification checks.
• Payment and transaction records, such as deposits, withdrawals, payment method details, transaction history, account balances and information needed to investigate a payment or prevent misuse.
• Communications and support information, including messages, enquiries, requests, feedback, records of account assistance and information provided when a player raises a complaint or asks for help.
• Device and technical information, such as an internet protocol address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, language settings, time zone, pages visited, approximate location information and website activity.
• Cookie and similar technology information, including identifiers that help remember preferences, maintain sessions, understand website use and support security.
• Security and risk information, such as unusual activity indicators, information used for fraud prevention, account protection, responsible gambling processes and compliance checks.

Players should provide accurate, current and complete information when using the website. Information supplied about another person should only be provided where the player is authorised to do so. Cristal Poker Casino may need to confirm information or request further documents where this is reasonably necessary for account security, identity checks, payment processing or legal obligations.

How information is used and shared

Personal information is used for purposes connected with providing and administering the website and its services. These purposes may include creating and maintaining an account, processing transactions, providing customer support, managing preferences, communicating important service information and keeping account records accurate.

• Operating account functions and allowing players to use available website services.
• Confirming identity and age, completing verification checks and meeting applicable legal or regulatory obligations.
• Processing deposits, withdrawals and other account transactions, and investigating payment issues.
• Detecting, preventing and investigating fraud, money laundering, cyber threats, collusion, account misuse and other suspicious or unauthorised activity.
• Protecting the security, availability and integrity of the website, systems, player accounts and payment processes.
• Responding to questions, complaints, privacy requests and other support enquiries.
• Understanding how the website is used, identifying technical problems and improving functionality, content and user experience.
• Sending service communications that are necessary for account administration, security, transactions or important changes.
• Sending promotional or marketing communications where permitted and where the player has provided consent or another lawful basis applies.

Information may be shared when reasonably necessary for these purposes. This can include sharing relevant information with payment and technology service providers, identity and verification providers, fraud prevention and security providers, professional advisers, customer support providers and other suppliers that help operate the website. These providers should only receive information relevant to the services they perform and are expected to handle it appropriately.

Information may also be disclosed where required or permitted by law, in response to a valid legal request, to protect the rights and safety of players or the website, or to investigate suspected unlawful activity. If business operations or service arrangements change, information may be transferred as reasonably required to support that change, subject to applicable privacy obligations. Cristal Poker Casino does not intend to use personal information for unrelated purposes without an appropriate basis.

Cookies, security and retention

Cookies and similar technologies

The website may use cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small files or identifiers placed on a device when a website is visited. They can help keep a player signed in, remember selected preferences, support security, measure website performance and provide information about how pages are used. Some cookies may be necessary for the website to function, while others may support analytics, personalisation or marketing.

Players can manage or remove cookies through their browser settings. Blocking or deleting cookies may affect the availability or operation of some website features, and certain functions may not work correctly without necessary cookies. Browser settings vary, so players should follow the instructions provided by their browser or device manufacturer.

Security measures

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, secure systems, monitoring, authentication processes and staff or supplier procedures. No online service can guarantee complete security, so players should use a strong, unique password, keep login details confidential and contact support promptly if they suspect unauthorised account activity.

Keeping information

Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted. Some account, verification, payment and transaction records must be kept for a period required by law even after an account is closed. Information may also be retained where needed to resolve disputes, investigate security matters, prevent fraud, enforce terms or establish, exercise or defend legal rights. When information is no longer required, it will be securely deleted, destroyed or de-identified where reasonably practicable.

Your privacy rights and how to contact us

Players can ask questions about the handling of their personal information and may request access to, or correction of, information held about them. Depending on the circumstances and applicable requirements, a player may also request deletion of their personal information or ask for certain processing to stop. Requests are considered carefully because some information may need to be retained for security, transaction records, dispute handling or legal obligations.

Making a privacy request

To exercise a data right, ask a privacy question or request help with personal information, contact support@cristalpokercasino.click. A request should clearly explain what the player is asking for and include enough information to identify the relevant account. For security, additional information may be requested to confirm the requester’s identity before information is disclosed or an account change is made.

• Access: ask for a copy of personal information held about you, together with general information about how it is used.
• Correction: ask for inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date account information to be corrected.
• Deletion: ask for personal information to be deleted where it is no longer required and no legal, security or other valid reason requires it to be kept.
• Marketing consent: withdraw consent to promotional or marketing communications at any time. A player may also use an unsubscribe option in a marketing message where one is provided.
• Privacy concerns: raise a concern about how personal information has been collected, used, disclosed or protected.

Withdrawing consent to marketing will not usually affect service messages needed for account security, transactions, verification, responsible gambling information or important changes to the website. A deletion request may also result in account closure or restrictions where the information is necessary to operate the account. Where a request cannot be completed in full, the reason will be explained in general terms where appropriate.

Cristal Poker Casino aims to respond to valid privacy requests within a reasonable time. The time needed may depend on the nature of the request, the information involved, identity checks and any legal or security requirements. Players should contact support@cristalpokercasino.click if they need clarification about this policy or the handling of a request.
