At Axe Casino, we believe that every player deserves to know exactly how their information is handled. This page sets out the full Axe Casino privacy policy — a transparent, plain-English document that explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what rights you hold as an Australian resident. Our approach to data protection is rooted in the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), supplemented by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where it applies to players based in the European Economic Area. Whether you are concerned about data security, wish to exercise your privacy rights, or simply want to understand how cookies work on our platform, you will find every answer here. We encourage you to read this document carefully before creating an account or making a deposit.

5. Legal Basis for Data Processing
Our data processing activities are underpinned by the following legal bases, consistent with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the GDPR (for EEA players):
- Contract performance: Processing is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations to you — for example, managing your account and processing transactions.
- Legal obligation: We are required to process certain personal information to comply with gaming regulations, AML laws, tax reporting requirements, and other applicable legislation.
- Legitimate interests: We process some user data to pursue our legitimate business interests, including fraud prevention, network security, and improving our services, provided these interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights.

- Vital interests: In rare circumstances, we may process data to protect the vital interests of you or another individual.
6. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Our data storage periods are governed by the following principles:
- Active accounts: Personal information is retained for the duration of your account's activity.
- Closed accounts: Following account closure, we retain core identity and transaction records for a minimum of five (5) years to satisfy AML, gaming regulatory, and tax obligations — and up to seven (7) years where legal proceedings or investigations are ongoing.
- Marketing data: Retained until you withdraw your consent or object to processing.
- Technical logs: Generally retained for twelve (12) months, unless required for security investigations.
- Responsible gambling records: Retained for the statutory minimum period applicable under relevant gaming law.
After the applicable retention period, your personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be linked to you. Our data storage infrastructure is reviewed regularly to ensure compliance with this schedule.

7.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies are used to track your browsing behaviour across websites so that we and our advertising partners can display relevant promotional content.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the performance or functionality of our site. Our Axe Casino cookie policy is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in technology and regulation.
8. Sharing Your Personal Data with Third Parties
Axe Casino does not sell your personal data to third parties. However, we may share your personal information with trusted partners and authorities in the following circumstances:
8.1 Payment Providers
We share necessary financial and identity data with payment processing partners — including providers of Visa, Mastercard, PayID, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Neosurf, bank transfer services, and cryptocurrency processors — to facilitate deposits and withdrawals. These providers are contractually bound to process your personal data only as instructed by us and to maintain appropriate information security standards.
8.2 Identity Verification and KYC Providers
To comply with our AML and KYC obligations, we share identity documents and verification data with specialist third-party providers. These organisations confirm the authenticity of your identity and screen your details against sanctions and politically exposed persons (PEP) lists.
8.3 Regulatory Authorities
We may disclose personal data to gaming regulators, law enforcement agencies, tax authorities, financial intelligence units, or courts where required by law, court order, or regulatory directive. Data protection principles still apply to the extent permitted within such obligations.
8.4 Technology and Service Partners
We engage third-party providers for cloud hosting, customer support software, analytics platforms, and responsible gambling tools. Each provider is carefully vetted and subject to data processing agreements that impose strict confidentiality and data security obligations.
8.5 Game Providers
Certain game providers — including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO, NetEnt, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Hacksaw Gaming, Push Gaming, Spribe, Red Tiger, Nolimit City, and Relax Gaming — may receive limited technical data (such as session tokens and player identifiers) to facilitate seamless gameplay. These providers do not receive your full identity or financial records and are contractually prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than game delivery.
9. International Data Transfers
As a global online casino, Axe Casino may transfer your personal data to countries outside Australia or the European Economic Area. Where such international transfers occur, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal information receives a level of protection equivalent to that afforded in Australia under the Privacy Act 1988. These safeguards include:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by relevant regulatory bodies
- Binding Corporate Rules where applicable
- Adequacy decisions for countries recognised as offering equivalent data protection
- Contractual obligations imposing equivalent information security standards on overseas recipients
By using our services, you acknowledge that your user data may be processed in Curaçao, the European Union, or other jurisdictions in which our service providers operate. We always prioritise your confidentiality and the security of your data in these arrangements.
10. Data Security
Axe Casino data security is a top priority. We have implemented a comprehensive suite of technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Key security measures include:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption: All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit SSL/TLS protocols, ensuring that your personal information cannot be intercepted in transit.
- Firewall protection: Our servers are protected by multi-layer firewalls that monitor and filter incoming and outgoing network traffic.
- Data encryption at rest: Sensitive data stored on our servers — including financial records and identity documents — is encrypted at rest.
- Access controls: Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel on a strict need-to-know basis. All staff with access to player data are subject to confidentiality agreements and regular training.
- Two-factor authentication (2FA): Available for player accounts to add an additional layer of information security.
- Regular security audits: Our systems undergo regular penetration testing and security reviews conducted by independent cybersecurity professionals.
- Incident response plan: In the event of a data breach, we have a documented incident response process to contain the breach, notify affected individuals, and report to the relevant supervisory authority within the timeframes required by law.
While we take all reasonable steps to protect your personal data, no online platform can guarantee absolute security. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your Axe Casino account and to enable 2FA where available.
11. Your Privacy Rights
As an Australian resident, you have a range of privacy rights under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. Players from the EEA additionally benefit from the full suite of rights under the GDPR. Axe Casino privacy rights are summarised below:

| Right to correction | If any of your personal information is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request that we correct it. |
| Right to deletion | In certain circumstances, you may request the erasure of your personal data — for example, where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. |
| Right to restriction | You may request that we restrict our data processing activities in certain situations, for example while a complaint is being investigated. |
| Right to data portability | Where technically feasible and legally permitted, you may request that your personal data be transferred to you or to another controller in a structured, machine-readable format. |
| Right to object | You have the right to object to data processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests, including direct marketing. |
| Right to withdraw consent | Where processing is based on consent — such as marketing emails or non-essential cookies — you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing. |
| Right not to be subject to automated decisions | Where decisions that significantly affect you are made solely by automated means, you have the right to request human review. |
To exercise any of your privacy rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days. In some cases — particularly where requests are complex or numerous — we may extend this period by a further 60 days, in which case we will notify you. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to protect the confidentiality of player accounts.
12. Responsible Gambling and Personal Data
Axe Casino takes responsible gambling seriously, and a number of our responsible gambling features involve the processing of personal data. Specifically:
- Deposit, bet, and loss limits: When you set financial limits on your account, we retain records of these limits and any changes you make.
- Session limits and cooling-off periods: Data relating to your session durations and cooling-off requests (24h, 48h, 7 days, 30 days) is stored to ensure limits are correctly applied.
- Self-exclusion: If you request self-exclusion (for 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently), your exclusion status is retained for the full duration and beyond, to prevent re-registration. This data may be shared with third-party responsible gambling schemes.
- Problem gambling monitoring: We may process your gaming activity data to identify behavioural indicators of problem gambling and take appropriate protective action.
The processing of data for responsible gambling purposes is carried out on the basis of our legal obligations and legitimate interests in player protection.
