This privacy policy applies to this website, which publishes information about WinShark Casino. "We" and "us" mean the publisher of the site. We handle personal information with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) in mind, where they apply to us. The policy doesn't cover the casino. Once you click through, the casino collects and uses your information under its own privacy policy.
Information We Collect
This site has no accounts, no sign-up forms and no comment sections, so we don't ask for your name or contact details just to let you read it. We collect the technical information your browser sends when you view a page or click a link to the casino:
- your IP address, from which an approximate location such as your country or city can be inferred
- your browser and device type (the user agent) and your language setting
- the page you came from (the referrer) and the address of the page you opened
- the standard request headers your browser attaches to every visit
- the date and time of the visit, and whether you clicked a link to the casino
When you click a link to the casino, we also create a hashed identifier from your IP address and browser type. It is a one-way code, and we use it to attribute a click to a later registration. If you contact us, we keep what you send us.
How We Use It
We use this information to run, secure and improve the site, to count visits and see which pages help readers, and to count clicks to the casino. We also tell the casino which visits came from this site so that our commission can be calculated, and we use it to detect bots and abuse. We don't use the information to make decisions about you personally, and we never ask for payment card details, bank details or identity documents.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
This site doesn't use advertising, analytics or profiling cookies, and it runs no analytics scripts or social-media pixels. Its fonts and images load from the site's own server. Visits and clicks are counted on the server through the information listed above, not through a tag in your browser. Your browser may keep ordinary cached files so pages load faster, and you can clear them in your browser settings. After you click through, the casino's site sets its own cookies under its own policy, and you can control those in your browser too.
Sharing Your Information
We share information only as needed to run the site. The companies that host the site and the tracking system that counts visits and clicks process it for us. When you click a link to the casino, you are sent on to the casino, and the link can carry a click identifier so the casino can credit this site. The casino then receives what your browser sends it and handles your information under its own privacy policy. We may also disclose information when the law requires it. We don't sell personal information.
Overseas Handling
Our hosting and measurement providers can store or process information outside Australia. The casino is run by a company registered in Curaçao and handles your information there and elsewhere under its own policy. If that matters to you, read the casino's privacy policy before you register.
Your Choices and Access
You can ask what personal information we hold about you, and you can ask us to correct or delete it. Send the request through the contact route published on this website, and we'll answer within a reasonable time. If you're unhappy with the answer, tell us and we'll review it. To avoid click tracking, don't use the links to the casino. Every page on this site stays readable without them.
Retention and Security
We keep visit and click records only as long as we need them to measure the site and calculate commission, then delete them or remove anything that identifies you. The site is served over HTTPS, and access to the records is limited to the people who need it to run the site. No online system is perfectly secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Age
This site is for adults aged 18 and over. It isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you think a child has sent us information, tell us and we'll delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We update this policy when the site changes how it handles information, and the new version applies from the moment it is published on this page. The terms and conditions explain how the site works, and the responsible gambling page lists support services.
