All data collected is processed in accordance with applicable privacy laws and is used solely for legitimate business purposes related to operating our casino platform.

You may request corrections to any inaccurate or incomplete information in your account profile at any time through your account settings or by contacting our privacy officer. You can object to certain types of data processing, including direct marketing communications, by adjusting your preferences in your account or using the unsubscribe links provided in our emails. In certain circumstances, you have the right to request the deletion of your personal information, subject to our legal obligations to retain records for regulatory compliance and fraud prevention purposes.

Data Retention and International Transfers
Bitstarz Casino retains your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy and to comply with legal, regulatory, and business requirements. Account information and transaction records are typically retained for a minimum period as mandated by gambling regulations and anti-money laundering laws, which may extend up to seven years after account closure. Gameplay data and technical logs are retained for shorter periods based on operational needs and are anonymised when no longer required for specific purposes. When you close your account, we will deactivate your profile and cease active use of your personal information, though certain data will remain in our archives to meet regulatory obligations. As an international online casino, Bitstarz Casino may transfer your personal information to servers and service providers located outside Australia. These international transfers are conducted in accordance with applicable privacy laws, and we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect your data during and after transfer. We implement standard contractual clauses and other approved mechanisms to ensure that your information receives equivalent protection regardless of where it is processed.
