Stellar Casino Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Stellar Casino collects, uses, protects, and shares personal information when you access our website and related services. It is intended to help you understand what information we handle, why we handle it, and the choices you may have.
Online gaming environments involve account administration, payment processing, security monitoring, and customer support. As a result, some personal information is necessary to provide services safely and reliably. We aim to handle information in a proportionate way and to use it for clear, legitimate purposes.
Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with the website, what features you use, and the verification checks that may be required to maintain a safe service. Information may be collected directly from you, automatically through your device, or from third parties where appropriate and lawful.
Information you provide
- Account details such as name, date of birth, username, and contact details.
- Identity and verification information, which may include copies of identification documents and proof of address where requested.
- Payment and transaction details needed to process deposits, withdrawals, and chargeback or dispute handling (we do not intentionally collect more payment information than necessary).
- Support communications, including messages you send to customer support and records of the interaction.
- Preferences you choose, such as marketing selections (where available) and communication settings.
Information collected automatically
- Device and technical data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and language settings.
- Usage data such as pages viewed, session duration, clicks, and referring/exit pages.
- Approximate location inferred from network data (for security, fraud prevention, and service integrity).
Information from third parties
We may receive information from payment providers, identity verification services, and fraud-prevention tools. Where this occurs, we use the information to confirm account details, protect the website, and process transactions. The specific categories received depend on the service used and the information you have provided to that third party.
How We Use Information
Stellar Casino uses personal information to operate the website, provide the services you request, and maintain a secure environment. We seek to use information in ways that are compatible with the context in which it was collected.
- To create and manage your account, authenticate logins, and provide customer support.
- To process transactions, withdrawals, refunds (where applicable), and payment-related inquiries.
- To verify identity and conduct security checks designed to reduce fraud, account takeover, and misuse.
- To monitor platform integrity, diagnose technical issues, and improve performance and user experience.
- To comply with applicable legal obligations and respond to lawful requests where required.
- To send service messages, such as updates to policies, security notifications, and important account information.
- To send marketing communications where you have opted in or where permitted by applicable rules, and to respect opt-out preferences.
We may also use aggregated or de-identified information for analytics and reporting. Where information is de-identified, we take steps intended to prevent it from being linked back to you.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites function and remember certain information. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and device fingerprinting techniques, primarily for security, fraud prevention, and performance measurement.
Cookies can help recognise your browser, keep you signed in, support navigation, and provide insights into how the website is used. Some cookies are set by us, and others may be set by third-party services integrated into the website.
You can usually adjust cookie settings through your browser or device. Please note that blocking certain cookies may affect the availability or reliability of features on the website.
Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information in the ordinary sense. We may share information when necessary to provide services, protect users and the platform, or meet obligations. When we share information, we aim to limit it to what is relevant and proportionate.
- Service providers that support website operations, such as hosting, analytics, customer service tools, and security monitoring.
- Payment processors and financial institutions to facilitate deposits, withdrawals, and transaction management.
- Identity verification and fraud prevention providers to help confirm account details and reduce risk.
- Professional advisers (for example, legal, auditing, or risk consultants) where needed for legitimate business purposes.
- Authorities, regulators, courts, or law enforcement where we are required or permitted to do so by applicable law, or where necessary to protect rights, property, or safety.
- Corporate transactions, such as a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, or sale of assets, in which case information may be transferred subject to appropriate safeguards.
Where third parties process information on our behalf, we take steps designed to ensure they handle information with appropriate care, confidentiality, and security expectations.
Data Security
Stellar Casino applies technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Security controls may include access restrictions, encryption in transit where appropriate, monitoring for suspicious activity, and internal policies governing staff access.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You can help protect your account by using a strong password, keeping login credentials confidential, enabling additional security features where available, and notifying us promptly if you suspect unauthorised activity.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as needed to provide the services you request, maintain business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet applicable legal or compliance obligations. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the purpose of processing, and operational requirements.
When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymise it, or securely store it with access limited to permissible purposes.
Your Rights
Depending on your location and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights relating to your personal information. These may include the ability to request access to information we hold, request correction of inaccurate information, object to or restrict certain processing, or request deletion in appropriate circumstances.
- Access: request a copy of certain personal information held about you.
- Correction: ask us to update or correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Deletion: request deletion where the information is no longer needed or where other conditions apply.
- Objection or restriction: ask us to stop or limit certain uses in specific circumstances.
- Marketing choices: opt out of promotional communications where such options are provided.
To help protect your privacy and account security, we may need to verify your identity before responding to certain requests. Some requests may be limited where we have compelling reasons to retain or use information, such as for security, dispute resolution, or compliance needs.
Third-Party Services
The website may integrate tools or content provided by third parties, such as payment gateways, analytics providers, fraud-prevention services, or embedded features. These providers may collect or receive information as part of delivering their services.
Third-party services operate under their own privacy practices. Where you choose to use those services, you should review their policies for details on how they handle information. Stellar Casino is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites or services that are not under our control.
International Transfers (General Only)
Online services often rely on service providers and infrastructure located in different regions. As a result, your personal information may be processed or stored in countries other than Australia.
When cross-border transfers occur, we take steps designed to maintain appropriate protections for personal information, which may include contractual commitments, access controls, and assessments of service provider practices. The level of protection may vary between jurisdictions, but we aim to ensure information is handled responsibly and consistently with this Privacy Policy.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, technologies, operational practices, or other factors. When we make changes, we will post the updated version on this page. The updated policy will apply from the date it is published unless otherwise stated.
If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice through the website or via account communications where appropriate.
