Data Storage, Protection, and Retention Periods
Zodiac Casino implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Data is stored on secure servers located in jurisdictions with adequate data protection standards. Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis, governed by strict internal policies.
Security measures include encryption of data in transit and at rest, use of firewalls and intrusion detection systems, and regular security assessments. Financial transactions are protected using industry-standard cryptographic protocols. While no system is infallible, these measures are designed to mitigate risk significantly.
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods are determined based on the nature of the data and the legal context. For example, account data is retained for the duration of the account's activity and for a statutory period thereafter. Transactional and identification records are retained for a minimum period as mandated by New Zealand law and regulatory bodies. Upon expiry of the retention period, data is securely archived or anonymised for statistical purposes, or it is permanently deleted using secure deletion methods.

Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner if you believe your privacy rights have been breached.
