Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Scope

Welcome to The Aussie Event Gala. This Privacy Policy details how Botanical Gala Entertainment PTY LTD handles your interaction data while you enjoy our free-to-play social casino environment. We are committed to protecting your privacy while ensuring a seamless, simulated gaming experience. Because our platform is entirely free and requires no real-money transactions, the scope of data we collect is minimal and focused solely on gameplay functionality.

2. Information We Collect (No financial data)

We operate on a guest-first basis. We do not collect credit card numbers, bank details, or real-money transaction histories, as these do not exist within our ecosystem. The information we do collect includes:

  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and device identifiers necessary to render the games correctly.
  • Gameplay Data: Virtual balance (Gala Tokens), game session lengths, and virtual win/loss metrics saved locally to maintain your progress.
  • Contact Data: If you voluntarily reach out to our concierge via the contact form, we collect the name and email provided strictly for support purposes.

3. How We Use Your Information

Your data is used to operate and improve the Gala. We use your local gameplay data to ensure your Gala Tokens and Festival Stamp Card progress are maintained between sessions. We use technical data to monitor the health of our servers and detect any fraudulent or abusive behavior that violates our terms. We do not use your data to profile you for external real-money gambling offers.

4. Data Security Protocols

Although no financial risk is involved, we still employ industry-standard encryption (HTTPS) to protect the connection between your device and our servers. Gameplay states are stored securely in your local browser storage, minimizing server-side data retention.

5. Third-Party Integrations

We may use basic analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) to understand which garden pavilions (games) are most popular. These providers only process anonymized technical data. We explicitly do not sell your personal data to third-party ad networks.

6. Your Data Rights in Australia

Under Australian privacy regulations, you have the right to request access to the limited data we hold about you, request corrections, or ask for deletion. Since most gameplay data is held locally in your browser, you can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's cache and local storage. For further inquiries, contact [email protected].
