This privacy policy explains how pointsbets-au.com ("we", "us", "our") handles information when you visit our independent PointsBet Australia guide. We publish editorial and informational content about sports betting; we are not the PointsBet wagering operator and we do not process betting account registrations or payments on behalf of that platform.
By using this website, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site. We may update this policy from time to time; the revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date reflected in site metadata where applicable.
Information We Collect
We collect limited data needed to operate and improve an informational website. Depending on how you interact with pointsbets-au.com, this may include technical usage data such as pages viewed, approximate referral source, browser type, device category, operating system, and general location derived from IP address at country or region level.
If you contact us by email, we receive the address you send from, the contents of your message, and any attachments you choose to include. We do not require account registration to read our guides, and we do not ask for government identification, payment card numbers, or betting account credentials through this site.
Cookies and similar technologies may store small identifiers on your device to remember preferences, measure traffic, or support basic site functionality. Details appear in the cookies section below.
How We Use Information
We use collected information to deliver the website, understand which articles readers find useful, diagnose errors, and improve content. Email correspondence is used solely to respond to enquiries or privacy requests. We may use aggregated statistics to guide editorial priorities without identifying individuals.
We do not sell personal information for third-party marketing. Service providers that assist with hosting or analytics process data on our instructions only as needed to perform those services.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. We may use essential cookies for basic operation, preference cookies for choices such as language display, and analytics cookies that measure traffic in aggregate.
You can control cookies through browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect certain features. Where Australian privacy law requires consent for non-essential tracking, we aim to present clear choices; you may withdraw consent via browser controls.
Sharing and Disclosure
We may share limited data with infrastructure and analytics providers that host or support this website under contractual confidentiality obligations. We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the site.
Our articles may contain links to external websites, including the official PointsBet platform. Those sites are governed by their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for how third parties collect or use data after you leave pointsbets-au.com.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access to personal information we hold about you, seek correction of inaccurate data, ask for deletion where applicable law permits, object to certain processing, or lodge a complaint with a privacy regulator.
Australian visitors may have rights under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, including the right to complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner if you believe we have mishandled your information. We will respond to verifiable requests within a reasonable timeframe.
