Scope of this policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the Best Online Pokies NZ website at cinchhr.co.nz. It describes the types of information that may be collected when people read the site or contact it, why that information is used and what choices are available. The policy is written with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 in mind.
It does not cover casino operators, game studios, payment providers or any other third-party website that can be reached through links on this site. Each of those services has its own privacy notice.
Information that may be collected
The website does not offer user accounts, deposits, games or gambling services, so it does not need to collect identity documents or payment details. The information that may be processed falls into two groups.
Information you choose to send. When you email the site, the message will contain your email address, your name if you include it and anything you write. This information is used only to read and respond to your message and to keep a record of corrections.
Technical usage information. Like most websites, the site and its hosting services may record standard technical data, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring page and the date and time of a visit. Analytics tools may be used to understand which pages are read and how the site performs. This data is used in aggregate to improve content and fix technical issues, not to identify individual readers.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. The site may use:
- Essential cookies needed for the pages to load and display correctly;
- Analytics cookies that help measure visits and page performance;
- Referral or tracking parameters attached to outbound links, which allow a partner casino to recognise that a visitor arrived from this site.
Most browsers let you view, block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking cookies may affect how some parts of the site work, but the reviews remain readable.
External links
Pages on this website link to casino operators, payment providers, government agencies and support services. Once you follow a link, you leave this website. Any information you provide on another site, including when you register, verify your identity or make a payment, is handled by that site under its own privacy terms. Please read those terms before sharing personal or financial details.
How information is used and shared
Information that reaches the site is used to:
- respond to enquiries and correction requests;
- maintain, secure and improve the website;
- understand which reviews and topics are useful to readers.
Personal information is not sold. It may be processed by service providers that host the site or provide analytics, and it may be disclosed if required by law.
Storage and retention
Personal information is kept only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected for, such as handling a correction or answering a question, unless a longer period is required by law. Technical logs and analytics data are retained according to the settings of the services that generate them.
Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you can ask to access personal information held about you and ask for it to be corrected. To make a request, use the details on the Contact page and describe the information you are asking about. You may be asked to confirm your identity before a request is actioned.
If you are not satisfied with how a privacy concern has been handled, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
Age restriction
The content on this website is intended for adults aged 18 and over. The site does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated when the website, its tools or the law change. The current version is always the one published on this page.
