Privacy Policy
1Who We Are
This Privacy Policy applies to Wolf Treasure Pokie (the “Site”), an independent review and comparison website covering online pokies and Australian casino bonuses. The Site is operated as an affiliate publisher and does not hold a gambling licence, process deposits, or manage player accounts at any casino.
References to “we”, “us”, or “our” throughout this document refer to the Site operator. References to “you” or “your” refer to any visitor to the Site.
2Data We Collect
We collect two categories of information:
| Category | What It Includes | How Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Usage Data | Pages visited, time on site, referral source, browser type, device type, approximate country | Automatically via analytics scripts |
| Contact Data | Name and email address if you submit a contact form or newsletter signup | Voluntarily by you |
| Cookie Data | Session identifiers, affiliate tracking parameters, preference flags | Automatically on page load (see Section 4) |
We do not collect payment card details, government ID, date of birth, or any other sensitive personal information. We are not in a position to collect this data as we do not operate accounts or process transactions.
3How We Use Your Data
Data collected by this Site is used for the following purposes only:
- Understanding which content is most useful to visitors and improving the Site accordingly
- Tracking affiliate referrals to receive commission from recommended casino operators
- Responding to contact form submissions or support enquiries
- Sending editorial newsletters if you have subscribed and provided explicit consent
- Complying with legal obligations where applicable
We do not use your data for automated decision-making, profiling, or targeted advertising served by us directly. Third-party advertising networks, if present, operate under their own privacy policies.
4Cookies & Tracking Technologies
This Site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser when you visit the Site.
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Site functionality, session management | Session |
| Analytics | Page view tracking, traffic source measurement (Google Analytics or similar) | Up to 26 months |
| Affiliate | Tracking clicks to casino partners for commission attribution | Up to 30 days |
| Preference | Storing your cookie consent choice | 12 months |
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling analytics or affiliate cookies will not affect your ability to read content on this Site, but it will prevent us from attributing any casino sign-up to our referral link.
5Third-Party Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes. We share limited data with the following categories of third party solely to operate the Site:
- Analytics providers — anonymised usage data to measure site performance (e.g. Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled)
- Affiliate tracking platforms — click identifiers passed to casino operators to attribute referrals and process commissions
- Email service providers — contact details you submit, held only if you have subscribed to communications
- Hosting and CDN providers — server logs including IP addresses, retained for security and performance purposes
Each third-party provider operates under its own privacy framework. We recommend reviewing their policies where relevant.
6Affiliate Disclosure
This Site contains affiliate links. When you click a “Play Now” or “Claim Bonus” button and subsequently register and deposit at a recommended casino, we may receive a commission from that operator. This commission is paid by the operator and does not affect the price of any product or service you receive.
Our editorial reviews and ratings are produced independently of commercial relationships. We disclose affiliate relationships on every page where affiliate links appear. The existence of a commercial relationship does not influence our factual reporting of RTP figures, bonus terms, or licence status.
rel="nofollow sponsored" attributes in our HTML, in accordance with Google’s link scheme guidelines and standard affiliate disclosure practice.
7Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy:
- Analytics data is retained for up to 26 months, after which it is aggregated or deleted
- Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months unless you request earlier deletion
- Email newsletter subscribers’ data is retained until you unsubscribe, after which it is removed within 30 days
- Server access logs are retained for up to 90 days for security and debugging purposes
8Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Correction — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Deletion — request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations
- Objection — object to processing of your data for analytics or marketing purposes
- Portability — request your data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible
- Withdrawal of consent — where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing
To exercise any of these rights, please use the contact details in Section 13. We will respond within 30 days. Australian residents may also lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if they believe their privacy rights have been breached.
9Data Security
The Site is served over HTTPS using TLS encryption. We apply industry-standard security measures to protect data in transit and at rest, including access controls on administrative systems and regular security reviews of third-party integrations.
No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security and accept no liability for breaches outside our reasonable control.
10Children
This Site covers real-money gambling products and is intended solely for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, please contact us immediately and we will delete it without delay.
11External Links
This Site contains links to third-party websites, including casino operators, payment providers, and support organisations. Once you leave this Site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites and encourage you to read their individual privacy policies before submitting any personal data.
12Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in law, our data practices, or the services we use. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy.
We recommend reviewing this page periodically. Archived versions of this Policy are available on request.
