Privacy Policy
How cashcageau.com handles the limited personal information it receives, and why an editorial portal that reviews gambling products collects far less than the operators it writes about.
Last updated: 15 October 2026
Who we are and what this policy covers
CashCageAU operates cashcageau.com, an independent editorial portal that reviews the Cash Cage wagering platform and explains the regulatory framework surrounding online gambling in Australia. This policy applies to everything served from that domain, including the review pages, the responsible gambling material and any correspondence sent to our published email address.
We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. The distinction that matters most is simple: we are not a wagering operator and we are not an online casino. No betting account can be opened here, no deposit can be made here, and no real money changes hands on this site. The identity documents, transaction histories and source-of-funds records that a licensed bookmaker must collect under anti-money-laundering law are therefore entirely absent from our systems, because we have no lawful reason to ask for them and no mechanism to store them.
Where this policy refers to third parties, it means our hosting and infrastructure providers, and the external organisations we link to — regulators, legislation databases and gambling help services. It does not mean advertisers, affiliate networks or data brokers, none of which we work with.
Information we collect and why
Three narrow categories, all of them a by-product of serving a web page or answering an email.
| Information | Why it exists | How long we keep it |
|---|---|---|
| Server log data — IP address, user agent, requested page, referring page, timestamp | Delivering pages, diagnosing errors, detecting abusive traffic and keeping the site available | A short rolling window set by our hosting provider, after which logs are overwritten |
| Cookie-based preferences — interface state such as a remembered menu or accordion position | Making the review pages behave consistently between visits on the same device | Until the cookie expires or you clear it in your browser |
| Email correspondence — your address, your message and any attachments you choose to send | Answering corrections, editorial questions and media enquiries | While the matter is live and for a reasonable period afterwards as a record of the correction |
| Not collected: payment details, identity documents, KYC records, wagering account credentials, betting history | No purpose exists. We run no gambling product, no casino games and no player accounts | Never stored. Please do not send these to us |
Information is used to operate and secure the site, to understand in broad terms which sections of the review are read, to answer correspondence, and to meet legal obligations. It is not used to build advertising profiles. We do not sell personal information, we do not trade it, and we do not pass reader data to gambling operators, affiliate programs or marketing networks — an arrangement worth stating plainly, because it is the ordinary business model of much of the content that surrounds online casino and pokies search results in this country.
Cookies, disclosure, security and retention
Cookies and similar technologies
This site sets a small number of first-party cookies for delivery and interface preferences, and sets no advertising or cross-site tracking cookies of any kind. The categories, their purposes and the ways to disable them are set out in our Cookie Policy.
Disclosure and third parties
Personal information may be handled by the providers that host and secure this website, strictly for those purposes. Beyond that, we disclose information only where the law requires it or where it is necessary to deal with a legal claim. External links on this portal — to the Australian Communications and Media Authority, to Liquor & Gaming NSW, to legislation, to Gambling Help Online and to BetStop — lead to organisations with their own privacy policies, which govern anything you do once you arrive there.
Measurement and overseas handling
We run no third-party analytics suite, no advertising measurement platform and no tag manager, so no reader-level dataset is assembled here or shared with anyone. What we see is the ordinary output of a web server plus, where our host supplies it, a page-level count of views. That is sufficient for an editorial decision such as expanding the section on pokies and slot machine mechanics, and insufficient for anything resembling a profile.
Hosting and content delivery infrastructure may store or route data outside Australia. Where that occurs we rely on providers that apply equivalent protections, and the categories involved remain the narrow ones listed in the table above — never payment data, identity documents or gambling account records, because we never receive them in the first place.
Security and retention
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to a site that holds very little: transport encryption, restricted administrative access and current server software. No transmission over the internet is perfectly secure, and we do not pretend otherwise. Because our retention periods are short and our collection is minimal, the practical consequence of any incident is correspondingly limited.
Your rights, age restriction and changes
Access, correction and complaints
You may ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, and ask us to delete correspondence we no longer need. Write to [email protected] and we will respond within a reasonable period. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled a privacy matter, you can escalate it to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, which oversees compliance with the Privacy Act.
Children and age restriction
This portal is written for adults. Gambling in Australia is restricted to people aged 18+, our content addresses that audience, and nothing here is directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from a minor; if you believe a minor has sent us correspondence, tell us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
Law, hosting arrangements and site features change. Any revision is published on this page with a new date at the top, and material changes are summarised in the opening paragraph for a reasonable period. Continued use of the site after a revision indicates acceptance of the current version, which sits alongside our Terms & Conditions.
Privacy questions and correction requests: [email protected]. This portal publishes analysis only — it accepts no bets, holds no funds and offers no real money gaming of any kind.
