SkyCrown Casino — Australian Review & Information Platform
Welcome to our SkyCrown Casino information and review platform (“we”, “our”, “us”, or the “Site”). We are an independent Australian editorial resource that publishes reviews, comparisons, bonus overviews, gameplay guides, and responsible-gambling content related to the SkyCrown Casino brand and the broader online casino industry. We are not the operator of SkyCrown Casino. SkyCrown Casino is owned and operated by Hollycorn N.V., a company registered in Curaçao under the laws of Curaçao. Our Site is an affiliate and informational platform: we do not host casino games, do not accept wagers, do not hold player funds, do not perform KYC verification, and do not process any deposits or withdrawals. All gameplay and account activity take place on the official SkyCrown Casino website and are governed by the privacy policy and terms of the operator.
This Privacy Policy explains what limited personal information we may collect when you visit our Site, subscribe to email updates, leave a comment, click through to operator pages, or contact our editorial team; how we use that information; with whom we share it; how long we keep it; and the rights you have under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) issued by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). It is written for adult Australian readers aged 18 years or older and aligns our data-handling practices with Australian privacy law.
Important notice. By accessing this Site, subscribing to communications, or otherwise interacting with our content, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, that you have read this Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions, and that you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site immediately.
1. About This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is a binding agreement between you (the visitor) and the operator of this Site (the publisher). It applies only to personal information collected through this Site. It does not cover any personal information you provide directly to SkyCrown Casino (Hollycorn N.V.) after you click an outbound link and arrive on the operator’s website. Once you leave our Site and register at SkyCrown Casino, the operator’s own Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, KYC Policy, and Anti-Money-Laundering procedures apply to all data you submit there — including your name, address, date of birth, identification documents, payment details, gameplay history, and balance information.
We strongly encourage you to read the official SkyCrown Casino Privacy Policy before creating an account, because the operator’s obligations under Curaçao law and EU-aligned anti-money-laundering regulations differ in important ways from ours under Australian privacy law.
2. Who We Are and How to Reach Us
We operate this Site as an independent affiliate publisher targeting an Australian audience. We have no shareholding, control, or operational relationship with Hollycorn N.V. We may receive commission from SkyCrown Casino or other operators if you click a tracked affiliate link on our Site and subsequently register or deposit at the operator. This commercial arrangement is disclosed in our Terms and Conditions and Affiliate Disclosure. It does not influence the factual content of our reviews.

3. What Personal Information We Collect
Because we are not an operator and do not run an account system, the volume of personal information we handle is deliberately minimal. We classify the information we may collect into the following categories.
3.1 Information you provide voluntarily
- Your name, alias, or nickname when you subscribe to our newsletter, post a comment, submit a casino review, or complete a contact form.
- Your email address when you subscribe to newsletters, request a response from our editorial team, or report a content issue.
- The contents of any message, query, complaint, or feedback you send us.
- Your stated state or territory of residence in Australia, if you choose to share it (for example, to receive region-specific responsible-gambling resources).
3.2 Information collected automatically
- Technical information such as your Internet Protocol (IP) address, approximate geolocation (city / state level), device type, operating system, browser type and version, screen resolution, language preference, and referrer URL.
- Usage information such as the pages you visit on our Site, the date and time of your visit, the duration of your session, the links you click (including affiliate links to SkyCrown Casino), search queries within the Site, and aggregated interaction events.
- Cookie identifiers and similar tracking data (see Section 8 — Cookies and Tracking Technologies).
3.3 Information from third parties
- Affiliate-tracking systems may notify us when a visitor referred from our Site registers or deposits at SkyCrown Casino. We typically receive an anonymous click identifier and an indication that a conversion has occurred, not your registration data.
- Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics 4) supply aggregated audience and behaviour information.
- Email-delivery providers report whether a newsletter was delivered, opened, or clicked, which helps us measure engagement.
3.4 What we do NOT collect
- We do not collect identification documents (passports, driver’s licences, utility bills) — these are submitted directly to SkyCrown Casino, not to us.
- We do not collect payment-card numbers, bank-account details, or cryptocurrency wallet addresses.
- We do not collect gameplay history, betting records, deposit amounts, withdrawal amounts, or balance information.
- We do not collect government-issued identifiers such as Tax File Numbers (TFNs) or Medicare numbers.
4. Why We Collect Personal Information
We collect and process personal information only for clearly defined, lawful purposes. These include:
- Delivering and improving editorial content, reviews, and comparisons relevant to Australian readers interested in SkyCrown Casino and similar platforms.
- Responding to your questions, feedback, complaints, or content-correction requests.
- Sending newsletters, casino-news updates, bonus notifications, or responsible-gambling resources — only where you have given consent and have not unsubscribed.
- Measuring the performance of our content, including how many readers click through to the official SkyCrown Casino site, so that we can improve editorial quality and assess affiliate revenue.
- Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, scraping, comment spam, and security incidents affecting our Site.
- Complying with our legal obligations under Australian law, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), and the Australian Consumer Law.
5. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the Australian Privacy Principles, we rely on the following bases to handle your personal information:
- Consent — for newsletter subscriptions, marketing communications, and non-essential cookies.
- Legitimate interests — to operate, secure, and improve the Site, measure audience engagement, and prevent abuse.
- Legal obligation — to respond to lawful requests from Australian regulators, courts, or law-enforcement agencies, and to meet record-keeping duties.
- Contract performance — where we have entered into an agreement with you (for example, a writer or contributor agreement).
6. How and With Whom We Share Information
We do not sell personal information. We do not rent or trade subscriber lists. Personal information is disclosed only to the categories of recipients listed below and only to the extent necessary for the purposes described in this Policy.
| Recipient category | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting & infrastructure providers | Cloud hosting, CDN, DDoS protection | Serving the Site, maintaining uptime, security |
| Analytics providers | Google Analytics 4, audience-measurement tools | Aggregated traffic and behaviour analysis |
| Email-delivery providers | Newsletter platforms (e.g. Mailchimp, Brevo) | Sending newsletters and transactional emails |
| Affiliate-tracking networks | Operator-side trackers for SkyCrown Casino and related brands | Recording referrals and calculating commissions |
| Comment & anti-spam services | Disqus, Akismet or equivalents | Hosting reader comments, blocking spam |
| Professional advisers | Lawyers, accountants, auditors | Legal, tax, and compliance advice (rarely, on a need-to-know basis) |
| Regulators & law enforcement | OAIC, ACMA, ATO, Australian police agencies | Where required by Australian law or court order |
We do not share personal information with SkyCrown Casino (Hollycorn N.V.) beyond the limited affiliate-tracking signals described in Section 3.3. If you create an account at SkyCrown Casino, the personal information you provide on the operator’s site is collected by the operator directly and is not transferred to or from us.
7. Overseas Disclosure of Personal Information
Some of our service providers are based outside Australia. This means a limited subset of your personal information may be stored or processed in countries that include, but are not limited to, the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, and Singapore. Where personal information is sent overseas, we take reasonable steps required under APP 8 to ensure that the overseas recipient handles your information in a way consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles, including by entering into data-processing agreements and selecting providers with recognised privacy and security certifications (such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2 Type II).
SkyCrown Casino itself is operated from Curaçao. If you register at the operator, your data may be processed under Curaçao law and, depending on the operator’s service providers, in additional jurisdictions. This processing is governed by the operator’s Privacy Policy and is outside the scope of this document.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (pixel tags, local storage, device fingerprinting in a limited form) to operate and improve the Site. You can manage your preferences via our cookie banner and through your browser settings. The categories of cookies we use are summarised below.
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Core functionality — page rendering, security, fraud prevention | Session cookies, CSRF tokens |
| Performance / analytics | Measuring how readers use the Site so we can improve content | Google Analytics 4 |
| Functional | Remembering preferences such as language or location | Region selector, theme selector |
| Advertising / affiliate | Recording referrals to SkyCrown Casino and partner brands | Click IDs, conversion pixels |
You can decline non-essential cookies at any time. Doing so will not prevent you from reading our content, but some features (such as personalised recommendations) may not function as intended.
9. How We Protect Your Information
We employ reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. These measures include:
- Encryption in transit using TLS (HTTPS) across the entire Site.
- Access controls and the principle of least privilege for editorial and administrative accounts.
- Two-factor authentication for all internal contributor accounts.
- Regular software updates, vulnerability scanning, and security monitoring.
- Periodic backups stored with reputable cloud providers.
- Confidentiality obligations imposed on staff, contractors, and contributors who handle personal information.
No system is perfectly secure. If a notifiable data breach occurs that is likely to result in serious harm to affected individuals, we will notify the OAIC and the affected individuals in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme under Part IIIC of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
10. How Long We Keep Your Information
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements. The general retention periods are as follows:
| Data type | Typical retention period |

| Newsletter subscription data | Until you unsubscribe, plus 12 months for proof-of-consent records |
| Contact form & complaint correspondence | Up to 24 months after the matter is resolved |
| Server logs (IP, user agent, timestamps) | Up to 12 months for security and abuse-prevention purposes |
| Analytics data (aggregated / pseudonymised) | Up to 26 months, then aggregated indefinitely |
| Affiliate-tracking conversion data | Up to 24 months for commission reconciliation and audit |
| Comments published on the Site | Until you request deletion or we close the article for archival reasons |
Where personal information is no longer required for any lawful purpose, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or de-identify it in accordance with APP 11.2.
11. Your Rights Under Australian Privacy Law
Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the following rights:

12. Specific Information for Australian Players
12.1 Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth)
The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) regulates online gambling services provided to Australian residents. The Act restricts the supply of certain interactive gambling services to Australians by operators that do not hold an Australian licence.
