12. Security of Personal Information

Oz2Win implements a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss, and destruction. These measures include industry-standard encryption protocols for data in transit and at rest, access controls restricting internal access to personal data on a need-to-know basis, regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, and staff training on data protection obligations and information security practices. Notwithstanding these measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and Oz2Win cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information. Users are encouraged to maintain the confidentiality of their account credentials and to notify the support team immediately upon suspecting any unauthorised access to their account.

13. Responsible Gambling and Data Processing

In fulfilment of its obligations as a licensed operator and in recognition of its commitment to player welfare, Oz2Win processes certain personal data specifically for responsible gambling purposes. This includes monitoring player activity for indicators of problem gambling, administering self-exclusion requests, enforcing deposit and session limits set by the player, and coordinating with third-party responsible gambling organisations where appropriate. Data processed for responsible gambling purposes is handled with the highest degree of sensitivity and is not used for marketing or profiling purposes unrelated to player protection.

14. Minors and Age Verification

Oz2Win strictly prohibits the use of its services by individuals under the age of eighteen years. The platform employs mandatory age verification procedures as part of the KYC process to ensure that all registered players meet the minimum age requirement. Personal data collected during an age verification check that reveals the individual to be underage will be used solely to deny access and will be retained only for the period necessary to record the compliance action taken. Oz2Win does not knowingly collect or retain personal information from minors.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Oz2Win reserves the right to update, amend, or replace this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory requirements, operational practices, or the services offered on the platform. Where material changes are made, the operator will notify registered users through the platform or by email communication prior to the changes taking effect. Continued use of the platform following the publication of a revised Privacy Policy constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically to remain informed of how their personal information is being handled.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of Curaçao as the jurisdiction of the operator’s licence, read in conjunction with the applicable provisions of Australian privacy law including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) to the extent that such law applies to the operator’s activities in relation to Australian users. Any disputes arising from the interpretation or application of this Privacy Policy that cannot be resolved through the operator’s internal complaints process may be referred to the relevant supervisory authority or resolved through the dispute resolution mechanisms specified in the Oz2Win Terms and Conditions.
