Third-Party Links
Our website links to casinos, gambling operators, affiliate networks, and other third-party services. We do not control their websites, cookies, or privacy practices. Once you leave hccoffshore.com, the third party’s privacy policy and terms apply. Review them before providing personal information or using their services.
Your Rights
Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, where applicable, you may request access to or correction of personal information we hold and make a privacy complaint. Contact us first so we can investigate. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
Where the EU or UK GDPR applies, eligible individuals may also have rights to erasure, restriction, objection, data portability, withdrawal of consent, and complaint to a relevant supervisory authority.
Where applicable US state privacy laws, including California’s CCPA/CPRA, apply, eligible consumers may request to know or access, correct, or delete personal information, opt out of its sale or sharing, and exercise other available rights without unlawful discrimination. Rights are subject to legal exceptions and identity verification.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including analytics, affiliate record-keeping, security, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Retention periods vary by data type and cookie lifespan. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete, de-identify, or anonymise it.
