Privacy Policy
This is the Privacy Policy for the Ruby Fortune Casino affiliate information site (rubyfortune-casinonz.com). Ruby Fortune Casino’s official Privacy Policy governing your casino account and personal data held by the operator is published at the official Ruby Fortune website. This document explains how this information site handles visitor data. For your casino account data, refer to the official operator Privacy Policy.
Who We Are
This Privacy Policy applies to rubyfortune-casinonz.com (the “Site”), an independent affiliate information website about Ruby Fortune Casino operated for New Zealand audiences.
The Site is operated by an independent affiliate publisher (“we”, “us”, “our”). We are not the casino operator. Ruby Fortune Casino is operated by a separate licensed entity. When you create a casino account by clicking through our affiliate links, your account data is held by the casino operator and subject to their Privacy Policy.
For the purposes of New Zealand privacy law (Privacy Act 2020), we are the data controller for information collected through this Site only.

Email your request to [email protected] with the subject line “Privacy Rights Request”. Please include:
Children’s Privacy
This Site is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. Gambling content is not appropriate for minors.

Privacy — Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ruby Fortune Casino see what I read on this Site?
No. The casino operator does not have access to your browsing activity on this Site. The only data shared with the casino is a click identifier when you click an affiliate link — this is a reference number only, not your personal details or browsing history. Your on-site behaviour (which pages you read, how long you spent, etc.) is visible only to us via analytics.
Is my data sold to advertising companies?
No. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to advertising networks, data brokers, or any other third parties for their own commercial purposes. Data is shared only with the service providers listed in Section 4 of this Policy, and only for the purposes described.
How do I unsubscribe from marketing emails?
Every marketing email we send includes an “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom. Clicking it will remove you from our mailing list within 5 business days. Alternatively, email [email protected] with the subject “Unsubscribe” and we will remove you immediately. Unsubscribing from marketing does not affect transactional emails (e.g. responses to your enquiries).
What data does Google Analytics collect about me?
Google Analytics collects anonymised usage data including pages visited, session duration, general geographic location (country/city level — not precise address), browser type, and device type. We have enabled IP anonymisation, meaning your full IP address is not stored by Google. This data is aggregated and cannot identify you individually. You can opt out via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or by declining analytics cookies in our cookie banner.
How do I request deletion of my personal data?
Email [email protected] with the subject “Data Deletion Request”. Include your name and the email address you used to contact us or subscribe to our newsletter. We will confirm receipt within 5 days and complete deletion within 20 working days, except where retention is required by law (e.g. affiliate commission records for tax purposes). We will tell you if any data cannot be deleted and explain why.
Is my data stored outside New Zealand?
Some of our service providers (e.g. Google Analytics, email marketing providers, web hosting) may store or process data on servers located outside New Zealand, including in the United States and Europe. Where data is transferred internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections — in accordance with the NZ Privacy Act 2020’s requirements for cross-border disclosure.
This Privacy Policy is reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in law and our practices. If you have any questions at all, we are happy to help.
18+ only. This is an independent affiliate information site. Gambling can be addictive. Play responsibly. NZ Problem Gambling Helpline: 0800 654 655 (free, 24/7).
