Privacy Policy

Effective date: 25 May 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Joe Fortune Australia ("we", "our", "us") — the operator of joefortune-aus.org, an independent informational and review website about online casinos — collects, uses, stores and discloses personal information about visitors. We operate under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) administered by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

1. Who We Are

We are an independent affiliate review project. We do not operate a casino, hold player funds, process gaming transactions or accept deposits. We publish reviews, comparisons and editorial information about the Joe Fortune brand and other casinos accessible to Australian players, and we earn affiliate commissions when visitors sign up at operators we link to.

2. What Personal Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information needed to operate this site:

  • Technical data: IP address, browser type and version, device type, screen resolution, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, time on site, language preference.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: see our separate Cookie Policy for the full breakdown.
  • Voluntary contact information: if you email us at [email protected] we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in the message.
  • Affiliate tracking data: click identifiers (gclid, utm parameters) that allow our advertising partners to attribute traffic; these are processed by the destination casino, not by us.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive information as defined in section 6 of the Privacy Act (health, racial, religious, sexual orientation, criminal record, etc.). We do not collect government-issued identifiers, tax file numbers or Medicare numbers.

3. How We Collect It

Most information is collected automatically when you visit pages — through standard server logs, cookies and analytics scripts. Contact information is collected directly from you when you choose to email us.

4. Why We Use It

  • To deliver and improve the website and editorial content.
  • To measure traffic and understand which articles are useful (aggregate analytics).
  • To detect, prevent and respond to fraud, abuse or security incidents.
  • To track affiliate conversions and report performance to our partners.
  • To respond to your enquiries when you contact us.
  • To comply with Australian law and lawful requests from government authorities.

5. Disclosure

We may share personal information with:

  • Service providers: hosting, CDN, analytics (e.g. Google Analytics), customer support tools — under written contract and only to the extent needed to deliver their service.
  • Affiliate partners: the casino operator you click through to receives standard referral data (click ID, timestamp, source). They process your personal data under their own privacy policy.
  • Australian or overseas authorities: where required by law, court order or to protect rights and safety.

Some recipients may be located overseas (typically the United States, the European Union and Canada). By using this site you consent to your information being transferred and processed in those countries, subject to comparable protections.

6. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser. For details, see the Cookie Policy.

7. Security

We protect personal information using reasonable technical and organisational measures: HTTPS/TLS encryption for all traffic, access controls on backend systems, and minimum-necessary data retention. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection — but we will notify affected individuals and the OAIC of any eligible data breach under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

8. Your Rights Under the Privacy Act

Under APP 12 and APP 13 you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct any inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete or misleading information.
  • Request deletion of your information where we no longer need it for a lawful purpose.
  • Opt out of analytics cookies and direct marketing communications at any time.
  • Make a complaint to us first; if unresolved, escalate to the OAIC at oaic.gov.au or by phone on 1300 363 992.

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with reasonable proof of identity. We will respond within 30 days as required by the Privacy Act.

9. Children

This website is intended only for adults aged 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has submitted information, contact us immediately and we will delete it.

10. Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes set out above, or as required by law. Server logs are typically retained for up to 12 months; analytics data up to 26 months; email correspondence up to 24 months.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be flagged on the homepage. The "effective date" at the top tells you when the current version was published.
