We adhere to the requirements of the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, which governs how your personal data is handled. While we recognize global standards such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for our international visitors, this policy is specifically tailored to meet the regulatory expectations within New Zealand, ensuring your data is handled with the local care it deserves.

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with a premium gaming environment and facilitate seamless transactions, we must collect certain pieces of information. The data we collect generally falls into three categories:

A. Information You Provide Directly.

When you register an account, make a deposit, or contact our support team, you provide us with information such as:

  • Full name, date of birth, and gender.
  • Contact details, including your email address and physical address.
  • Financial information required for processing payments via POLi, Visa/Mastercard, Neosurf, bank transfers, or cryptocurrency wallets.
  • Identification documents to verify your identity, age, and residency, which is mandatory under our anti-money laundering (AML) protocols.

B. Information Collected Automatically.

As you navigate our site, we automatically log technical data to ensure our site runs smoothly and to prevent fraudulent activity. This includes:

  • IP addresses and device information (type of browser, operating system, and hardware model).
  • Usage data, such as which pokies you play, the duration of your sessions, and your navigation paths through the site.
  • Cookies and tracking technologies, which help us remember your preferences and ensure your account remains secure.

C. Information from Third Parties.

We may receive information from verified third-party providers, such as payment processors (e.g, POLi or credit card gateways) and identity verification services. This ensures that the person behind the screen is who they claim to be, keeping our community of punters safe.

2. Purpose of Data Processing

We do not collect information for the sake of it. Every piece of data we hold has a clear, legitimate purpose tied to your experience at Galactic Wins:

  • Account Management: To maintain your NZD account and provide access to your personal gaming dashboard.
  • Transaction Processing: To facilitate fast deposits and withdrawals using your preferred methods like POLi or bank transfer.
  • Security and Fraud Prevention: To verify your identity and protect against unauthorized access, money laundering, or suspicious wagering activities.
  • Regulatory Compliance: As an operator, we are accountable to the Department of Internal Affairs and the Gambling Commission NZ. We must maintain records of transactions and player activity to comply with local licensing laws.
  • Responsible Gambling: To monitor play patterns and provide assistance if we suspect a player is developing issues.
  • Customer Support: To resolve queries effectively — because if you have an issue, we want to help, and quick support is a hallmark of our service.

3. Data Storage and Protection

We understand that for a Kiwi punter, the security of funds and personal data is paramount. We employ industry-standard encryption protocols (SSL/TLS) to ensure that all data transmitted between your device and our servers is unreadable to unauthorized parties.

Our servers are stored in highly secure environments with strictly restricted physical and digital access. We retain your information only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by New Zealand law. Once your data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We respect your privacy, and we only share your data under the following strictly defined circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We share necessary data with trusted third parties that assist us in our operations, such as payment processors, identity verification firms, and email marketing platforms. These partners are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal Requirements: If requested by the Department of Internal Affairs, law enforcement, or other regulatory bodies in New Zealand, we may be legally required to disclose information.
  • Corporate Transfers: In the unlikely event of a business merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your data may be transferred to the new owner, provided they adhere to equivalent privacy protections.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you have specific rights regarding your personal data:

  • Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correction: If you believe your data is incorrect, you have the right to ask us to update or rectify it.
