About This Document

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.

🏢
Section 1

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.

Legitimate Interests
Used when we have a valid business reason that does not override your privacy rights — e.g. analytics to improve content. You can object to this basis at any time.

Consent
Used only for non-essential cookies and marketing emails. You may withdraw consent at any time — withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of prior processing.

Legal Obligation
Used when processing is required by law — e.g. responding to a lawful court order or regulatory request. We process only the minimum data required.

Section 4

Who We Share Your Data With

Our Core Commitment
We never sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes. Data is shared only with the categories of recipients listed below, and only to the extent necessary for the stated purpose.

Analytics Providers

We use analytics platforms such as Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site. These services receive anonymised or pseudonymised usage data including page views, session duration, and general location (country/city level). IP addresses are anonymised before transmission where possible. Google Analytics data is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. You can opt out via Google’s opt-out browser add-on or by declining analytics cookies.

Ruby Fortune Casino (Affiliate Partner)

When you click an affiliate link and register at Ruby Fortune Casino, we transmit a click identifier and affiliate code to the casino. This allows the casino to attribute your registration to our referral for commission purposes. The casino operator then independently collects your personal data for account creation — this is governed by their own Privacy Policy, not ours. We do not receive your casino account details, financial data, or gameplay data from the casino.

Email Service Providers

If you subscribe to our newsletter, your email address is stored with our email marketing provider (e.g. Mailchimp or similar). This provider processes your email address solely to send the communications you requested. They are prohibited from using your email for their own marketing. You may unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email or by contacting us directly.

Hosting & Infrastructure Providers

Our web hosting provider processes technical data (server logs, IP addresses) as a necessary part of operating the Site. This processing is limited to infrastructure purposes only and is governed by our data processing agreement with the provider.

Legal & Regulatory Authorities

We may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, courts, or regulatory bodies when required by law, or when we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a lawful government request. We disclose only the minimum information necessary in such circumstances.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law. The table below sets out our standard retention periods.

Data TypeRetention PeriodReason
Contact form submissions2 yearsResponse history and dispute resolution
Newsletter subscriptionsUntil unsubscribed + 1 yearTo demonstrate consent compliance
Analytics data26 months (anonymised)Google Analytics default; aggregated only
Affiliate click records5 yearsCommission audit trail and legal compliance
Server access logs90 daysSecurity monitoring and fraud detection
Cookie consent records2 yearsProof of consent for regulatory compliance
When retention periods expire, data is securely deleted or permanently anonymised so it can no longer be linked to you. Legal hold obligations (e.g. court orders) may override standard retention periods — in such cases data is retained only for the duration of the legal obligation.

🔒
Section 7

Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, disclosure, or destruction.

TLS 1.3 / 256-bit SSL Encryption
All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using the latest TLS protocol.

Access Controls
Personal data is accessible only to staff who need it to perform their duties. Role-based access controls are enforced.

Regular Security Reviews
We conduct periodic reviews of our data handling practices and security infrastructure.

Cloudflare DDoS Protection
The Site is protected by Cloudflare’s security infrastructure, including bot protection and web application firewall.

Data Minimisation
We collect only the data we genuinely need. We do not collect sensitive categories of data (health, financial, biometric) through this Site.

⚠️ Data Breach Procedure

If a personal data breach occurs that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will:

1.Notify affected individuals without undue delay
2.Report to the NZ Privacy Commissioner within 72 hours if required
3.Document the breach and remediation actions taken

No security system is impenetrable. While we use industry-standard measures, we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet. You transmit data to us at your own risk, but we take reasonable precautions to protect it once received.

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.
