Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Stellar Spins, operated on the review domain https://stellarspins-aussie.com (the "Website"), collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information of visitors and players who access or use the Website. It applies to all users who visit, browse, interact with content, subscribe to communications, or otherwise provide personal data through the Website. By using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Effective date: 1 January 2026.

Who We Are

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, "we", "us", and "our" refer to the operator responsible for the Website stellarspins-aussie.com, which provides informational and review content in relation to the brand "Stellar Spins" and Stellar Spins. Based on information available as at 2026, the underlying gambling operator claims to be licensed under Curacao Antillephone N.V. licence 8048/JAZ, but such licence status is unverified and key corporate details (including legal name, registered address, and company registration number) are not specified in publicly available sources.

Accordingly, for data protection and privacy communication purposes, you may contact the Website operator as follows:

• Legal / postal address: not specified - any correspondence should be initiated via electronic means first.
• Data protection contact (DPO / data protection department): not specified - you may contact us through the general contact channel on the Website or via the email address that may be published from time to time. Where a specific data protection contact email is introduced, this Privacy Policy will be updated.
• Telephone: not specified.
• Website: https://stellarspins-aussie.com (current AU-facing review domain for Stellar Spins).

Because several historical mirror domains (such as "stellarspins247" and "stellarspins-au") have been used by the underlying gambling operator to evade ISP blocks and Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) blocking orders, this Privacy Policy applies solely to the review and informational activities conducted through stellarspins-aussie.com and does not extend to any third-party casino or mirror domain that you may access from the Website.

What Personal Data We Collect

When you access or use stellarspins-aussie.com in connection with Stellar Spins, we may collect and process the following categories of personal data:

Personal identification and contact data

• Basic identifiers: first name, last name or screen name, if you provide them via forms, surveys, or communication tools.
• Contact details: email address, and any other contact information you voluntarily provide (such as messaging IDs or social media handles).
• Communications content: the content of messages, inquiries, complaints, or feedback you send to us, including attachments and metadata.

Technical and usage data

• Technical identifiers: IP address, device identifiers, browser type and version, operating system, language settings, time zone, and similar technical parameters.
• Usage logs: date and time of access, pages visited, referring URLs, click paths, scroll depth, time spent on pages, and interactions with on-page elements (e.g. buttons, links).
• Diagnostic data: error logs, crash reports, and performance diagnostics to maintain and improve the Website.

Payment and financial data

The Website itself does not process deposits, withdrawals, or bets. However, in very limited circumstances we may receive or process:

• Advertising or affiliate payment details: if you are a business counterparty (e.g. affiliate partner or advertiser), we may collect invoicing details, bank details, tax identifiers, and records of payments for accounting and compliance purposes.
• We do not process players' gambling deposits or withdrawals; any such data is handled directly by third-party casinos or payment providers, under their own privacy policies.

Behavioural and interaction data

• Interaction with content: clicks on articles, reviews, navigation between different casino reviews, and engagement with responsible gambling or risk warning sections.
• Marketing engagement data: if you subscribe to any newsletter or marketing communications, we may collect information about email opens, link clicks, unsubscription events, and preferences.
• Aggregated behavioural data: anonymised or aggregated statistics about how users as a group interact with Stellar Spins content.

Cookies and similar technologies

• Cookies: small text files stored on your device used for session management, preferences, analytics, and (where consented) advertising.
• Local storage and similar: browser local storage, pixels, tags, scripts, and beacons to measure usage and performance.
• Third-party cookies: cookies placed by analytics providers, affiliate tracking providers, and advertising networks to measure traffic sources, conversions, and campaign performance, subject to applicable consent requirements.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data strictly in line with applicable data protection principles. While stellarspins-aussie.com primarily targets users located in Australia, we aim to align our practices with internationally recognised standards such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where appropriate.

Consent

• We rely on your freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent when:
  • Setting or reading non-essential cookies (e.g. advertising, advanced analytics) where such consent is required by law.
  • Sending direct electronic marketing communications (e.g. newsletters) where you have actively opted in.
• You may withdraw your consent at any time via the mechanisms described in this Policy; withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Contractual necessity

• We process data where it is necessary to perform or enter into a contract with you, for example:
  • To provide you with website functionalities you request (e.g. subscription to updates, management of your account if an account system is implemented).
  • To respond to your enquiries, complaints, or support requests relating to the content on stellarspins-aussie.com.
  • To manage contractual relationships with business partners, such as advertisers or affiliate partners.

Legitimate interests

• We process personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests, balanced against your rights and expectations, for purposes including:
  • Operating, maintaining, and securing the Website, including preventing fraud, abuse, or unauthorised access.
  • Conducting audience measurement, analytics, and performance assessment to improve our content, structure, and user experience.
  • Monitoring the effectiveness of responsible gambling messaging and risk warnings in the Australian context.
  • Protecting our legal rights, including managing potential claims and cooperating with relevant authorities.

Compliance with legal obligations

• We may process certain data to comply with legal obligations, including:
  • Record-keeping, financial, and taxation rules relevant to our business operations.
  • Responding to lawful requests from courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other competent authorities, including the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) and other Australian government bodies.
  • Compliance with anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and know your customer (KYC/AML) requirements, to the extent they apply to our business relationships with counterparties.

Purpose of Processing

We use personal data collected through stellarspins-aussie.com for the following purposes:

• Providing and operating the Website: to deliver access to the Stellar Spins content, including reviews, comparisons, and risk information about offshore operators targeting Australian residents.
• Service improvement and personalisation: to understand how users interact with the Website, improve navigation and content relevance, diagnose technical issues, test new features, and display content that is more aligned with aggregate user interests.
• Customer support and communication: to respond to your queries, feedback, or complaints, and to keep a record of our communications.
• Marketing and informational communications: to send newsletters, promotional materials, product updates, or special offers relating to our content and services where you have consented or where permitted by law, and to measure the effectiveness of such communications.
• Analytics and statistics: to perform traffic analysis, engagement measurement, and market research, using aggregated or pseudonymised data wherever possible.
• Fraud prevention and security: to detect and prevent suspicious activity, unauthorised access, and misuse of the Website, including activities that may seek to circumvent ACMA blocking orders or otherwise breach applicable laws.
• Legal and regulatory compliance: to comply with applicable laws, respond to lawful requests, and enforce our terms, notices, and rights.

Disclosure & Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. However, we may share personal data with selected third parties under appropriate safeguards and only where necessary for the purposes described above.

Service providers (processors)

• Hosting and infrastructure providers: to host the Website, store data, and ensure performance and security.
• Analytics providers: to perform website analytics and audience measurement (e.g. traffic sources, engagement). These providers may use cookies and similar technologies subject to your consent where required.
• IT and security providers: to support technical operations, maintenance, backup, incident management, and information security measures.
• Communication tools: where we use external platforms for email distribution or contact forms.

Payment and business partners

• Advertising and affiliate partners: we may share limited, pseudonymised data (such as click IDs, conversion events) necessary to:
  • Track the performance of marketing campaigns and outbound links.
  • Settle accounts and commissions with business partners.
• Such sharing does not include your full contact details unless strictly required for our contractual relationship with you as a business counterparty.

Regulators and public authorities

• We may disclose personal data where required by applicable law, regulation, or legal process, or in response to lawful requests from:
  • Australian regulators and law enforcement agencies, including ACMA, the Australian Federal Police, or state/territory agencies.
  • Court orders, subpoenas, or similar proceedings in relevant jurisdictions.
• We may also share information to protect our rights, safety, or property, and those of our users or the public.

Affiliates and corporate transactions

• If the Website or a substantial part of its assets is transferred to another entity (e.g. through a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale), personal data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to equivalent privacy safeguards.

Advertising networks and third-party tracking

• Where we use third-party advertising networks or affiliate tracking solutions, these third parties may:
  • Set their own cookies or tracking technologies to measure impressions, clicks, and conversions.
  • Receive pseudonymised identifiers (such as click IDs or session IDs) linked to your interactions with our Website.
• Such processing will be subject to your consent where required and governed by the privacy policies of the respective third parties. We encourage you to review those policies carefully.

International Transfers

Due to the nature of online services, your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the one in which you are located. This includes countries whose data protection laws may not provide the same level of protection as those in your home jurisdiction.

• Primary data locations: Our hosting, analytics, and service providers may be located in, or operate data centres in, various regions including Australia, the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, the United States, and other jurisdictions.
• Offshore gambling jurisdictions: The underlying gambling operator associated with Stellar Spins claims ties to Curacao (licence 8048/JAZ, unverified) and potentially Anjouan or other offshore jurisdictions. Any data you provide directly to such operators is processed under their own privacy policies; we do not control those processing activities.
• Safeguards for transfers: Where we transfer personal data from the EEA or the UK to countries not recognised as providing an adequate level of protection, we will seek to implement appropriate safeguards, such as:
  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent contractual protections approved by the European Commission or UK authorities.
  • Technical and organisational measures (encryption, access controls, minimisation) designed to protect data during and after transfer.
• Australian users: For users in Australia, we take reasonable steps to ensure that overseas recipients of your personal information do not breach applicable privacy standards in relation to your information, consistent with Australian privacy principles where relevant.

Data Retention

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

• Contact and identification data: retained for as long as we maintain an active relationship with you (e.g. responding to your enquiries, providing subscribed services) and for up to 5 years after the last meaningful interaction, unless a longer period is required for legal claims or record-keeping.
• Communications and complaints: retained for up to 7 years in order to document our handling of complaints, legal claims, or regulatory inquiries, subject to statutory limitation periods.
• Technical and usage data: raw logs are typically retained for up to 12 - 24 months, after which they may be aggregated or anonymised for long-term analytics.
• Marketing data: information about your subscription and marketing preferences is kept until you withdraw consent or opt out, and for a limited period thereafter (up to 2 years) to demonstrate compliance with your request and applicable laws.
• Business partner and billing data: retained for the period required under accounting and tax laws, which may be up to 7 - 10 years after the end of the relevant financial year.

When data is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to irreversibly anonymise or securely delete it. If you exercise your right to deletion, we will also consider whether legal obligations or overriding legitimate interests require us to retain certain data for a longer period.

Your Rights

We respect your rights in relation to your personal data and aim to align with internationally recognised standards, including principles reflected in the EU GDPR and comparable privacy frameworks. While the Website is focused on Australian users, similar rights may be available under various national laws.

Key rights

• Right of access: You may request confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and obtain a copy of such data, together with information about how it is used.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate personal data and completion of incomplete data.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of your personal data where:
  • It 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 successfully object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  • We are required by law to erase it.
• Right to restriction of processing: You may request that we limit processing of your data (e.g. while we verify its accuracy or a pending objection).
• Right to object: You may object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling, on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will no longer process your data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
• Right to object to marketing: You may at any time object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling related to direct marketing. We will promptly comply with such requests.
• Right to data portability: Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request that we provide your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and that we transmit it directly to another controller where technically feasible.
• Right to withdraw consent: Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

Exercising your rights

• You may exercise your rights by contacting us via the contact channel provided on stellarspins-aussie.com or via any dedicated email address shown in the "Privacy" or "Contact" sections when made available.
• To help us protect your data and that of others, we may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request, which may involve asking for additional information reasonably necessary for verification.
• We aim to respond to all valid requests within 30 days of receipt. If your request is particularly complex or we receive a number of requests, we may extend this period by a further 60 days, in which case we will inform you of the extension and reasons.
• In general, we will handle your request free of charge. However, where permitted by law, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on a request that is manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.

Regulatory references

While the Website targets Australian residents and is subject primarily to applicable Australian laws (including the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 in relation to illegal offshore gambling contexts), we also take into account principles from the EU GDPR and other international data protection standards when designing our privacy framework. Users located outside Australia should consult their local laws for specific additional rights that may apply in their jurisdiction.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies on stellarspins-aussie.com to support core website functionality, improve performance, and, where consented, assist with analytics and advertising.

Types of cookies

• Session cookies: temporary cookies that exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. They support navigation, load balancing, and basic functionality.
• Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a predefined period or until you delete them, helping us remember your preferences (e.g. cookie settings, language) and recognise repeat visits.
• First-party cookies: set directly by our domain (stellarspins-aussie.com) to support essential functionality and basic analytics.
• Third-party cookies: set by third parties (e.g. analytics and affiliate providers, advertising networks) for audience measurement, conversion tracking, and campaign optimisation.

Purposes of cookies

• Strictly necessary / functional: required for the Website to function correctly, including page navigation, security features, and access to restricted areas. These cannot usually be disabled without affecting basic operation.
• Preferences: to remember choices you make, such as cookie consent settings, so you do not need to configure them every time.
• Analytics: to collect information on how visitors use the Website (e.g. pages viewed, time spent, bounce rates) so that we can improve content and usability. Data is often aggregated or pseudonymised.
• Advertising and affiliate tracking: to measure the performance of links to third-party sites (including gambling operators) and to support the display of more relevant marketing content, where permitted by law and subject to your consent.

Managing cookies

• Browser controls: Most web browsers allow you to:
  • View which cookies are stored and delete them.
  • Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
  • Set preferences for particular websites.
• Internal tools: Where available, you can manage non-essential cookies via our internal cookie banner or preference centre displayed when you first visit stellarspins-aussie.com or after clearing your cookies.
• Impact of disabling cookies: If you block or delete cookies, some features of the Website may not function properly, and your user experience may be degraded.

Data Security

We implement technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, or access. While no system can be guaranteed 100% secure, we continuously work to mitigate security risks appropriate to the nature of our services.

• Encryption in transit: We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 or higher to encrypt data transmitted between your browser and our servers, helping to prevent interception or tampering during transit.
• Encryption at rest: Where feasible, we apply encryption or equivalent safeguards to stored data, combined with access controls and secure backup procedures.
• Access controls: Personal data is accessible only to authorised personnel and service providers who require it for the performance of their duties, subject to confidentiality obligations.
• Authentication and account security: If and when we provide user accounts, we will implement appropriate authentication mechanisms (and may support multi-factor authentication) to enhance account security.
• Security monitoring and audits: We conduct regular security reviews, apply software updates, and monitor for vulnerabilities and suspicious activity. Third-party hosting and infrastructure providers we use are selected based on their security posture and industry reputation.
• Staff awareness and training: Personnel with access to personal data receive guidance on data protection obligations, security procedures, and incident reporting protocols.
• Incident response: We maintain incident response processes to detect, investigate, and remediate potential personal data breaches. Where required by law, we will notify affected individuals and/or relevant authorities without undue delay.

We may align our practices with the principles underlying recognised security standards such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2, particularly through our choice of third-party infrastructure providers and security tools, although we do not claim formal certification unless explicitly stated on the Website.
