7. Sharing Your Data with Third Parties
The Heaps Of Wins Casino data protection framework includes strict controls on when and how your personal data is shared with outside parties. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. However, we do share user data in the circumstances described below, always subject to appropriate contractual and technical safeguards.
7.1 Payment Service Providers
To process deposits and withdrawals via methods such as PayID, Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Neosurf, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and bank transfer, we share relevant transaction data with the respective payment providers. These providers are contractually bound to handle your personal data in compliance with applicable data protection laws and are prohibited from using your information for any purpose beyond facilitating your transactions.
7.2 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Authorities
We may be required by law to disclose your personal information to government authorities, gaming regulators, financial intelligence units, or law enforcement agencies — for example, in connection with AML investigations, fraud cases, suspected criminal activity, or court orders. All such disclosures are made in strict confidentiality and only to the extent required by applicable law. We will notify you of any such disclosure where legally permitted to do so.
7.3 Identity Verification and KYC Providers
Before processing your first withdrawal, Heaps Of Wins Casino is required to complete KYC verification as mandated by our gaming licence. This involves sharing your identification documents and associated personal data with specialist third-party verification services that are certified to handle sensitive identity data securely.
7.4 Technology and Infrastructure Partners
We work with cloud hosting providers, game studios (including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO, NetEnt, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Hacksaw Gaming, Push Gaming, Spribe, Red Tiger, Nolimit City, and Relax Gaming), and platform technology providers. These partners may have access to limited personal information as strictly necessary to deliver their respective services. All are bound by confidentiality agreements and data processing agreements requiring adherence to data protection standards equivalent to our own.
7.5 Affiliate and Marketing Partners
Where you have consented to marketing, certain anonymised or pseudonymised user data may be shared with affiliate partners to track referrals and manage promotional campaigns. Your full personal identity is not disclosed to affiliates. Any affiliate data sharing is governed by our cookie policy and your applicable consent settings.
8. International Data Transfers
Because Heaps Of Wins Casino operates globally and relies on cloud-based infrastructure and technology partners across multiple jurisdictions, your personal data may be transferred to and stored in countries outside Australia. When such cross-border transfers occur, we take appropriate steps to ensure your information security and data protection are maintained to a standard at least equivalent to that required under Australian law. These protective measures may include:
- Entering into Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) with data recipients located in countries without an adequate data protection framework
- Relying on adequacy decisions issued by relevant authorities where applicable
- Implementing binding corporate rules across group entities where the organisation operates multiple legal entities
- Applying technical safeguards — including end-to-end encryption — for all personal data in transit across borders
- Conducting transfer impact assessments to evaluate risks to data subjects in the destination jurisdiction
9. Data Security
Heaps Of Wins Casino data security is maintained through a layered, defence-in-depth approach that combines industry-leading technical measures with rigorous organisational policies. We are committed to protecting your personal information from unauthorised access, accidental disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Information security is not an afterthought at Heaps Of Wins Casino — it is embedded into every layer of our platform architecture.
9.1 Technical Safeguards
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is protected using 256-bit SSL/TLS technology — the same encryption standard employed by global financial institutions and government agencies.
- Encryption at rest: Sensitive personal data stored in our databases is encrypted using AES-256 encryption, ensuring that even in the unlikely event of a server breach, raw data remains unreadable.
- Enterprise firewalls: Multi-layered firewalls protect our entire network infrastructure from external intrusion attempts and denial-of-service attacks.
- Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS): Automated systems detect and respond to suspicious activity on our network in real time, triggering alerts and containment protocols as needed.
- RNG certification: All game Random Number Generators are independently tested and certified by accredited third-party laboratories to guarantee fairness and unpredictability.
- Secure payment tokenisation: Card and payment details are tokenised to ensure that full payment credentials are never stored directly on our servers.
9.2 Organisational Safeguards
- Role-based access controls that limit personal data access to authorised personnel with a legitimate business need
- Regular staff training programmes on data protection, information security best practices, and phishing awareness
- Periodic security audits, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments conducted by independent specialists
- Documented incident response procedures for reporting, containing, and recovering from data breaches
- A dedicated data security team responsible for maintaining and improving our security posture on an ongoing basis
Despite these robust measures, no digital system is entirely immune to risk. In the event of a data security incident that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, Heaps Of Wins Casino will notify you and any relevant supervisory authority as required by law, within the timeframes prescribed by applicable regulations.
10. Data Storage and Retention Periods
We apply a structured and legally grounded policy for data storage and retention to ensure we do not hold your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. Heaps Of Wins Casino data storage periods are determined based on the nature of the data, the purpose of processing, and applicable legal obligations.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Legal / Business Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identity data | 5 years after account closure | KYC/AML regulatory requirement under gaming licence conditions |
| Financial transaction records | 7 years after transaction date | Tax compliance and financial regulatory obligations |
| Gaming activity logs | 5 years after account closure | Dispute resolution, responsible gambling monitoring, and regulatory compliance |
| Customer support communications | 3 years after last interaction | Quality assurance, dispute resolution, and audit trail |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn + 3 years | Demonstrating lawful basis for marketing communications |
| Cookie and analytical data | Up to 13 months | Platform analytics, performance improvement, and user experience optimisation |
| Responsible gambling records | Minimum 5 years after exclusion ends | Regulatory requirement and duty of care obligations |
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you as an individual. For data storage queries or requests for earlier deletion, please refer to the Your Privacy Rights section below. Where we are legally required to retain data despite a deletion request, we will inform you of the applicable data storage period and the legal basis for continued retention.
11. Your Privacy Rights
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and, where applicable, the GDPR, you hold a range of privacy rights with respect to your personal data held by Heaps Of Wins Casino.
