2.3 Cookies and similar technologies

The Site may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Ensure the Site functions properly;
• Remember your preferences (where applicable);
• Produce anonymous statistics about usage of the Site;
• Measure outbound clicks on affiliate links to our partners.

Where required by applicable law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You can usually manage or delete cookies in your browser settings.

We may use personal information for the following purposes:

• To operate, maintain and improve the Site and its content;
• To respond to your enquiries and provide customer support;
• To analyse how the Site is used and improve user experience;
• To monitor and protect the security and integrity of the Site;

• If you have explicitly requested it, to send you updates or communications about our content or services, which you can opt out of at any time.

3.1 Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK users)

Where EU/EEA or UK data protection law applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

• Legitimate interests – for operating and improving the Site, ensuring security, preventing misuse, producing basic analytics, and managing our business (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR);
• Consent – for non-essential cookies and for sending direct electronic marketing where required by law (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR);
• Legal obligation – where we must retain or share data to comply with applicable laws (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).

The Site contains outbound links to third-party betting and gambling operators. When you click on these links, you will be redirected to websites that are not operated or controlled by us.

We may receive a commission if you sign up or place bets with those third-party operators. We do not collect or have access to your account details, deposits, bets or payment information with those operators.

Each third-party operator has its own privacy policy and terms. We encourage you to carefully review these before creating an account or providing any personal data.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. In general:

• Server logs and security-related technical data are typically kept for up to 12 months, unless a longer retention is needed in connection with security incidents or legal claims.
• Correspondence (for example, emails you send us) may be kept for up to 3 years after our last meaningful interaction, in order to respond to follow-ups and to manage potential disputes.
• Where we rely on your consent (for example, optional marketing), we keep your data until you withdraw your consent or we no longer need it for that purpose.

We may retain certain information for a longer period if necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or to comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited personal data with:

• Service providers such as hosting providers, IT security and technical support providers, who help us operate the Site. These providers act under contract and may only process your data on our instructions.
• Professional advisers (such as legal or accounting advisers) where necessary to protect our legal interests.
• Public authorities where we are legally required to do so, or where disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or those of others.

We do not share your personal data with betting operators for their own marketing purposes. If you choose to create an account directly with an operator, you do so under that operator’s terms and privacy policy.

Southern Cloud is established in Estonia (European Union), but some of our service providers may be located outside the EU/EEA. This means your information may be processed in countries that may have different data protection laws than your country.

Where required by law, we take appropriate safeguards to ensure that any international transfer of personal data complies with applicable data protection rules, for example by using European Commission–approved standard contractual clauses or ensuring that the recipient is subject to an adequacy decision.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access – to obtain confirmation and a copy of your personal data;
• Right to rectification – to correct inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Right to erasure – to request deletion of your data in certain circumstances;
• Right to restriction of processing – to limit how we use your data in certain cases;
• Right to object – to object to certain processing based on legitimate interests;
• Right to data portability – to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format where applicable;
• Right to withdraw consent – where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time (this will not affect processing that took place before withdrawal).

To exercise any of these rights, or to ask a question about how we handle your data, please contact us at info@gambling-au.online.

If you are located in the EU/EEA, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In Estonia, this is the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate.

We do not send unsolicited marketing emails. If we ever offer optional email updates (for example, about new content on the Site) and you choose to subscribe, you can opt out at any time by:

• Using any unsubscribe link included in our emails (where provided); or
• Contacting us at info@gambling-au.online with a clear request to opt out of marketing communications.

Please note that even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send you non-marketing messages where necessary (for example, to respond to your enquiries).

The Site is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe that a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete such information where required.

We strongly encourage responsible gambling and remind all users to comply with the legal age and gambling regulations in their jurisdiction.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle personal information.

If you have any questions, concerns or requests relating to this Privacy Policy or our handling of personal data, please contact:
