Privacy Policy

1. Who we are (data controller)

This website (malinacassino-au.com) is operated by Malina Casino AU Review, an independent publisher of online-gambling reviews for Australian readers. We are not the casino operator; the operator of the Malina Casino brand is a third party licensed in Curaçao. For the purposes of the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), the data controller for information collected on this website is the publisher named above.

Contact for privacy enquiries: [email protected]. We aim to respond within 30 days, in line with APP 12 (access) and APP 13 (correction).

Where you transact with the casino operator after clicking an outbound link from this site, that operator is the data controller for any information you provide to it. Their privacy notice will apply, not ours.

By accessing or using this website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
