Privacy Policy — Sky City

Cookies in brief

The site sets a small number of cookies. Strictly necessary cookies keep the site running — they remember a reader's consent choice and the state of expandable sections. Analytics cookies, which are optional, count anonymous page views so we can see which guides are actually read. Affiliate cookies record that a visitor arrived through one of our outbound links so that the operator can credit the referral. A full list, with vendor names and lifetimes, lives on the dedicated Cookies page.

A cookie banner appears on the first visit and remembers the choice for up to twelve months. Readers can change their mind at any time through the small cookie link in the footer, and declining optional categories does not break the site — only the ability to count the visit or credit a referral is affected. The strictly necessary category cannot be disabled; without it the page would not remember that the banner has already been dismissed and would show it on every load.

International transfers

The site is hosted on infrastructure that may process data outside of Australia, including in the European Union and the United States. Where data moves across borders we rely on contractual safeguards with each processor — our analytics vendor, our hosting provider, and the affiliate network that attributes clicks. We do not sell personal data to third parties, and we do not share it with the operator beyond the anonymised click identifiers required to attribute a referral.

The current list of processors is short on purpose. Adding a vendor that routes data through a new jurisdiction means running the paperwork and updating this page; removing one is easier. If a reader is uncomfortable with a specific jurisdiction, declining optional cookies on the banner removes the analytics and the attribution flows, which are the only categories that cross borders in the first place.

Your rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act, and under equivalent laws in other jurisdictions, you have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to correct it if it is wrong, and to request deletion. Because sky-city.bet does not require registration, the amount of personal data we hold is small — typically no more than an IP address, a user-agent string, and whatever was written in a contact-form message. To exercise any of these rights, write to the editorial address shown on the Contact page. We aim to answer rights requests within a working week, and we do not charge for them.

Third parties

We rely on a short list of named vendors: a web host that stores server logs, an analytics provider that aggregates pageviews, and an affiliate tracker that attributes outbound clicks. Each vendor has its own privacy policy and its own retention schedule. We do not embed social-media widgets or third-party comment systems that would track visitors across the web, and we do not run programmatic advertising. Where a vendor stops meeting its own stated policy, or where a cheaper alternative with cleaner terms becomes available, we switch and update this page with the change.

What we collect

Routine web-server logs — IP address, user agent, timestamp and requested URL — are kept for a short period to help diagnose errors and spot abuse. Analytics data is stored at the pageview level, not at the individual level, and cannot be linked back to a named person. Contact-form submissions are stored in email for as long as it takes to answer them, then archived. We do not ask for date of birth, government ID, bank details or anything else that an operator might collect — those stay with the operator.

Children

The site is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly accept contact-form messages from minors and we do not tailor content for them. If a parent or guardian believes a minor has sent us a message, let us know and we will delete the record. Every page carries an 18+ marker and a link to the Responsible Gaming guide for the same reason: online casinos are an adults-only product.

How we use data

We use the small amount of data we collect for three purposes: to keep the site running (server logs), to understand which guides are useful (aggregated analytics), and to credit affiliate referrals when a reader opens an account at the operator (click attribution). We do not profile visitors, we do not build advertising audiences, and we do not share data with any party outside of the vendors named above.
