Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
Fat Pirate Media Pty Ltd operates this review portal. The company is registered with ASIC under ACN 673 902 184. Its ABN is 92 673 902 184. The registered office sits at Suite 1502, 530 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia. Rebekah Joy Templeton holds responsibility for editorial direction. The portal launched in 2025 and focuses solely on publishing reviews and guides.
Editorial responsibility rests at the same Melbourne address. The site contains no player accounts and processes no deposits or bets. All activity remains limited to editorial content and outbound links.
2. Privacy contact
Owen Fitzgerald serves as the external data-protection contact. Direct privacy enquiries to privacy@australia-fat-pirate.com. Responses follow the timelines set by the Privacy Act 1988.
3. What we collect — access logs
Server logs record IP address, browser user agent string, requested page and precise timestamp. These details arrive automatically with every visit. Collection supports detection of unusual traffic patterns and basic security monitoring. Logs remain stored for seven days before automatic deletion. No names, contact details or gambling history enter these records. The portal never builds user profiles from this information.
4. Cookies
Only technically necessary cookies operate on the site. These files remember basic session data during a single visit and help pages load without repeated requests. No advertising or analytics cookies are deployed. Users can block or delete these cookies through standard browser settings, though some functions may then require manual refresh.
5. Affiliate links and third parties
Outbound links, often prefixed with /go/, lead directly to licensed casino operators reviewed on the portal. Clicking such a link transfers the user to that operator's domain. Each operator maintains its own privacy policy and data-handling procedures. Fat Pirate Media Pty Ltd holds no control over data collected after the transfer. The portal itself records nothing beyond the initial click event already covered in access logs.
6. Your rights under the Privacy Act
Australian Privacy Principles grant several rights. Individuals may request access to any personal information held about them. They may also seek correction of inaccurate records. Complaints about privacy practices can be lodged with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au. The portal responds to valid requests within a reasonable period, typically thirty days.
7. Retention
Access logs delete after seven days. Contact-form submissions, if any, remain for no longer than twelve months unless required for an active enquiry. No other categories of personal data are stored. The absence of player accounts means no ongoing records of gambling behaviour exist on these servers.
8. Security
All data transmission uses TLS encryption. Hosting infrastructure includes standard firewall rules and regular vulnerability scans. Access to log files is restricted to authorised technical staff. While these measures reduce common risks, no system can guarantee absolute protection against every threat.
9. Changes to this policy
Updates appear on this page with a revised effective date. Material changes receive notice through a site banner for at least thirty days. Continued use of the site after an update indicates acceptance of the revised terms.
10. Contact for privacy requests
Send access requests, correction requests or complaints to privacy@australia-fat-pirate.com. Include sufficient detail to identify the relevant records. The company acknowledges receipt within seven days and aims to resolve matters promptly. For urgent issues, the phone line +61 3 7029 4658 remains available during business hours.
