Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 January 2026

1. Introduction

Stellar Spin Club ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website stellarspinclub.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our website. We are committed to protecting the privacy of our visitors and complying with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its information privacy principles.

Stellar Spin Club is a free social casino entertainment platform. We do not offer real-money gambling, require user registration, or process financial transactions. Our commitment to minimal data collection reflects our belief that entertainment should come without unnecessary intrusion into your personal life — much like the quiet solitude of stargazing in the Mackenzie Basin.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

Since Stellar Spin Club does not require registration or account creation, we collect very limited personal information. The only personal data we may receive is information you voluntarily provide through our contact form, which may include:

• Your name
• Your email address
• The subject and content of your message

This information is collected solely for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and is not used for marketing, profiling, or any other secondary purpose.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically through standard web technologies. This may include:

• Your IP address (which may be anonymised)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring website URL
• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Date and time of your visit
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Screen resolution

This information is collected through server logs and, where applicable, analytics cookies. It is used in aggregate to help us understand how visitors interact with our site and to improve the user experience.

2.3 Fun Points and Game Data

Game progress, including fun-point balances and scores, is stored locally in your browser using standard web storage technologies (such as localStorage). This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. We have no access to your game data, and it is not linked to any personal information.

3. How We Use Your Information

The limited information we collect is used for the following purposes:

• Responding to enquiries: If you contact us via our contact form, we use your name and email address to reply to your message.
• Website improvement: Aggregate, anonymised analytics data helps us understand visitor behaviour, identify popular content, and improve site performance.
• Security: Technical data may be used to identify and prevent security threats, abuse, or technical issues.
• Legal compliance: We may use or disclose information as required to comply with applicable New Zealand laws and regulations.

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

Stellar Spin Club does not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We may use third-party service providers (such as web hosting and analytics services) that process data on our behalf. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental regulation in New Zealand.
• Protection of rights: We may disclose information to protect the rights, property, or safety of Stellar Spin Club, our visitors, or the public.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience. For detailed information about the cookies we use and how to manage them, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

In brief, we may use:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it.
• Preference cookies: Remember your settings and choices for a better experience.

We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies. Your browsing on Stellar Spin Club is not tracked for the purpose of serving advertisements.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected:

• Contact form data: Retained for up to 12 months after your enquiry has been resolved, then securely deleted.
• Server logs: Retained for up to 90 days for security and operational purposes.
• Analytics data: Retained in aggregate, anonymised form and not linked to individual visitors.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the limited information we collect from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit
• Secure server infrastructure
• Limited access to personal data by authorised personnel only
• Regular review of our security practices

While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to maintaining industry-standard protections.

8. Your Rights Under New Zealand Law

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:

• Access: Request access to any personal information we hold about you.
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.

9. Children's Privacy

Stellar Spin Club is intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, we will take immediate steps to delete that information. If you believe a person under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to external websites, including New Zealand gambling support services such as gamblinghelpline.co.nz and choicenotchance.org.nz. These links are provided for your convenience and information. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

11. International Data Transfers

Our primary audience is in New Zealand, and we endeavour to process and store data within New Zealand or Australia where possible. If data is transferred outside these jurisdictions (for example, through the use of global service providers), we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
