Data Sharing and Disclosure
Alawin Casino does not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your data with trusted partners and service providers who assist us in operating our platform, such as payment processors, identity verification services, and technology providers. These entities are contractually obligated to protect your information and may only use it for the purposes specified by us.
We may also disclose your personal information where required or authorized by law, such as to comply with requests from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), law enforcement, or other regulatory bodies. In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that business transition, subject to the privacy protections described herein.

We implement robust technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Our systems are regularly audited to ensure they meet high security standards, and we utilize encryption to safeguard sensitive data during transmission. While we strive to provide a secure environment, please remember that no method of data storage or transmission over the internet is completely infallible. We encourage all punters to maintain the security of their own account credentials and report any suspicious activity to our support team immediately.
