A Big Candy Casino Privacy Policy
A Big Candy Casino values the trust you place in us when you use our website, games, and related services. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and the choices you have, with a focus on providing a safe and transparent experience for players in Australia.
This Policy applies to information collected through A Big Candy Casino’s online platforms and support channels. It is intended for adults aged 18+ and is written to be clear and practical while reflecting the operational realities of an online casino, including identity checks, payments, security monitoring, and responsible gaming safeguards.
Information We Collect
We collect information that helps us create and manage your account, deliver casino services, process payments, keep the platform secure, and meet operational and risk requirements. The type of information we collect depends on how you interact with A Big Candy Casino and which features you use.

- Verification information that may include identity documents and proof of address where needed to confirm account ownership, prevent fraud, or apply access controls.
- Payment and transaction details needed to process deposits (including the minimum deposit of A$20), withdrawals, chargeback handling, and payment reconciliation.

Information from third parties
Where appropriate, we may receive information from payment providers, identity verification services, fraud prevention partners, and analytics providers. We use this information to confirm transactions, protect customers, and improve reliability. We do not purchase “lists” of personal data for unrelated marketing.

- To verify identity and eligibility, including age checks (18+) and measures intended to protect against account takeover or misuse.
- To provide customer support, respond to enquiries, and manage complaints or disputes.

- To improve our website and services, including performance testing, error diagnosis, and feature development.

We may use aggregated or de-identified data (where individuals are not reasonably identifiable) for reporting, analytics, and product improvement.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
A Big Candy Casino uses cookies and similar technologies to help our site function, remember your preferences, and understand how the platform is used. These tools can store identifiers on your device or access them to keep you signed in and to protect the integrity of sessions.
Types of cookies we may use
- Essential cookies that support login, account access, and secure navigation.
- Preference cookies that remember choices such as language or display settings.
- Analytics cookies that help us understand usage patterns and improve performance.
- Security cookies that support fraud prevention, risk scoring, and abuse detection.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. If you disable certain cookies, parts of A Big Candy Casino may not function properly, and you may need to re-enter information more frequently.
Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information as a standalone product. We share data only when it is necessary to provide our services, maintain security, complete transactions, or meet legitimate operational needs.
Who we may share information with
- Payment processors and banking partners to complete deposits, withdrawals, and payment checks.
- Identity verification and fraud prevention providers to help validate account ownership and reduce platform risk.
- Customer support and communications providers that help us deliver messages and manage enquiries.
- Analytics and performance providers that help us monitor reliability and improve the player experience.
- Professional advisers where needed for operational, security, or dispute-related matters.
Where we share information, we seek to limit it to what is relevant, and we expect service providers to protect it and use it only for agreed purposes.
Data Security
A Big Candy Casino uses a combination of administrative, technical, and organisational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, and alteration. Security measures are applied based on the sensitivity of the information and the nature of the processing activity.
- Access controls and role-based permissions intended to limit data access to authorised personnel.
- Encryption and secure transmission methods used for sensitive data where appropriate.
- Monitoring tools that help identify suspicious activity and protect player accounts.
- Internal procedures for handling verification documents and payment-related information.
- Regular reviews of platform integrity, including patching and security testing practices.
No online service can guarantee absolute security. You also play an important role by using a strong password, keeping login details confidential, and contacting us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes set out in this Policy. Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, how it is used, and operational requirements such as dispute handling, security investigations, and financial reconciliation.
- Account and transaction records are retained for the period needed to manage your account lifecycle, respond to disputes, and maintain accurate financial records.
- Verification data is retained only as long as necessary to complete checks, keep the platform safe, and support legitimate audit and risk controls.
- Support communications may be retained to improve service quality and to maintain a record of previous requests.
When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to delete it, anonymise it, or store it in a form with restricted access.
Your Rights
Depending on your circumstances and location, you may have rights in relation to your personal information. A Big Candy Casino aims to provide practical ways to exercise these choices and to respond within reasonable timeframes.
Common privacy choices
- Access: request a copy of certain personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: ask us to update inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Deletion: request removal of certain information where it is no longer needed for legitimate purposes.
- Restriction or objection: ask us to limit specific processing activities in some situations.
- Marketing preferences: opt out of promotional messages while still receiving essential service communications.
Some requests may be limited where we must keep information for security, transaction integrity, or to establish, exercise, or defend claims. If you are unable to access your account, we may ask for additional verification before acting on a request to protect you from unauthorised changes.
Age and account eligibility
A Big Candy Casino is intended for adults aged 18+. If we become aware that an account may involve an underage individual, we may suspend access and take steps to verify eligibility and protect the platform.
Third-Party Services
A Big Candy Casino may include content or tools provided by third parties, such as payment options, analytics, identity checks, game integrations, or customer support functionality. These services may process information under their own privacy practices and terms.
Where third-party services are necessary to provide the casino experience, we aim to work with providers that implement appropriate safeguards. However, we encourage you to review the privacy information offered by those third parties, especially for services you choose to use directly.
International Transfers
As an online service, A Big Candy Casino may use service providers or infrastructure located outside Australia. This can result in personal information being processed in other countries for purposes such as hosting, security monitoring, analytics, customer support tooling, payment processing, and verification services.
When information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected in a manner consistent with this Policy, including contractual and operational controls appropriate to the nature of the service.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect platform changes, improvements in security practices, new features, or evolving business processes. The most current version will apply to how we handle information from the date it is published.
If an update materially changes the way A Big Candy Casino uses personal information, we will take reasonable steps to provide notice through the website or account-related communications.
