Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how personal information is handled on ChipRail AU. The site is operated for an Australian audience and is subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) issued by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). Last updated: 2026.

Who is responsible

The controller of any personal information collected through this website is the operator of ChipRail AU. Contact details for privacy enquiries are published in the Imprint section and via the contact form on the site. Legal and postal details are maintained separately by the operator and are not reproduced in this document.

What information is collected

ChipRail AU does not require registration and does not sell products directly. The categories of information that may be collected during ordinary use of the website are:

• Technical data — IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen resolution, referring page, timestamp of the request and the pages viewed. This data is generated automatically by web servers and logging tools.
• Analytics data — aggregated, mostly anonymised metrics about how visitors interact with pages, such as time on page, scroll depth and click paths. Analytics are processed with tools that respect the “do not track” signal where technically feasible.
• Cookie identifiers — see the Cookies page for the complete list of categories and typical lifetimes.
• Voluntary submissions — information you actively provide, for example when using the contact form or submitting feedback. Only data you enter yourself is stored, and only for as long as needed to answer the request.

The site does not process payment card details, wallet balances, gambling accounts or any information related to specific casino operator accounts. Nothing you do on this site is transmitted to any casino.

Legal basis and purpose

Personal information is processed for the following purposes:

• delivering the requested content and ensuring the site functions on your device;
• protecting the service from abuse, fraud and technical attacks;
• measuring content performance and improving editorial quality;
• meeting record-keeping obligations under Australian law;
• responding to correspondence you initiate with the editorial team.

Processing is grounded in APP 3 (collection of solicited personal information), APP 6 (use and disclosure) and the legitimate operating needs of an editorial website. Sensitive information as defined in the Privacy Act is not intentionally collected.

Cookies and analytics

Detailed information about cookies is available on the dedicated Cookies page. In short, only strictly necessary cookies are set without consent; all other categories (analytics, preferences, marketing) rely on a consent choice you can update at any time through the cookie settings link in the footer.

Sharing with third parties

Personal information is not sold and is not shared for third-party marketing. Limited technical data may be processed by:

• infrastructure providers hosting the website;
• content delivery networks accelerating page load;
• analytics providers offering aggregated audience statistics;
• security services filtering malicious traffic.

Providers are chosen for their compliance posture and act as processors under written agreements. Where a provider is based outside Australia, transfers rely on the accountability framework of APP 8, and the operator remains responsible for the handling of the data.

Retention

Log files and technical data are retained for the shortest period compatible with security and diagnostic needs, typically no longer than twelve months. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form for editorial planning. Content of contact enquiries is retained only for the time needed to answer them and, where a longer period is legally required, for the applicable statutory term.

Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 1988 and the APPs you have the right to:

• request access to the personal information held about you (APP 12);
• request correction of information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading (APP 13);
• ask questions about how your information is handled and how it can be deleted where retention is no longer required;
• make a complaint to the operator and, if unresolved, to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.

Requests are handled at no cost within a reasonable time frame. To submit a request use the contact form on the site or the correspondence details published in the Imprint.

Security

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are in place to protect the information processed on the site, including TLS encryption for all pages, access controls, and monitoring for unusual activity. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so users are encouraged to keep their devices and browsers up to date.

Children

ChipRail AU covers online gambling, which is legally restricted to adults. The site is not intended for anyone under 18. Personal information from minors is not knowingly collected. If you believe a minor has provided personal information, please contact the editorial team so the data can be removed.

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the law, in the services used to run the site, or in editorial practice. The date at the top of the page always reflects the latest revision.
