Data Retention
GW Casino AU retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, subject to any applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

Following the expiry of this mandatory retention period, you have the right to request the erasure of your personal data where no other legal obligation requires its continued storage. Requests for data erasure may be submitted to [email protected], and GW Casino will respond within a reasonable timeframe as required by applicable law.
Security of Your Data
GW Casino takes the security of your personal data seriously and implements a range of technical and organisational measures to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security framework includes:

- Regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address vulnerabilities
- Staff training on data protection responsibilities and privacy best practices

While GW Casino Australia implements robust safeguards, no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely free from risk. We encourage users to maintain strong, unique passwords for their accounts and to contact us immediately at [email protected] if they suspect any unauthorised activity.
