At Kahuna Casino, the protection of your personal data is a core commitment, not an afterthought.

We encourage every Australian player to read this policy carefully before creating an account or submitting any data through kahunacasinos.net.

7. Sharing Your Data with Third Parties
Kahuna Casino does not sell your personal data to any third party. However, we share user data with specific categories of recipients as required for the lawful operation of our platform:
7.1 Payment Providers
To process your transactions, we share the necessary financial and identification data with payment processors such as Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Neosurf, and cryptocurrency network operators. Each payment partner is contractually bound to maintain data security and confidentiality standards equivalent to or higher than those described in this policy.
7.2 Regulatory Authorities
We are legally required to share personal information with the Government of Curaçao (our licensing authority), financial intelligence units, tax authorities, and — in the case of Australian players — potentially with the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) where lawfully demanded.
7.3 KYC and Identity Verification Partners
Before your first withdrawal, Kahuna Casino requires mandatory KYC verification. We engage accredited third-party identity verification providers to process your documents. These providers operate under strict contractual obligations and certified data protection frameworks.
7.4 Technology and Analytics Partners
We work with game providers (including Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Play'n GO, NetEnt, Microgaming, Yggdrasil, Hacksaw Gaming, Push Gaming, Spribe, Red Tiger, Nolimit City, and Relax Gaming) and analytics platforms to deliver and improve the gaming experience. These partners may access anonymised or aggregated user data only to the extent necessary for the services they provide.
7.5 Affiliate and Marketing Partners
If you arrived at Kahuna Casino via an affiliate link, limited referral data may be shared with that affiliate to attribute the acquisition. No sensitive personal data is disclosed to affiliates.
8. International Data Transfers
As an online casino operated under a Curaçao licence and serving Australian players globally, Kahuna Casino may transfer your personal data to countries outside Australia. Where such transfers occur, we implement appropriate safeguards, including:
- Standard contractual clauses approved by competent authorities
- Adequacy decisions recognising the destination country's data protection standards
- Binding corporate rules where applicable within our group of companies
All international transfers comply with the requirements set out in the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (APP 8) and, where relevant, the GDPR Chapter V provisions on cross-border transfers.
9. Data Security Measures
Kahuna Casino data security is maintained through a multi-layered technical and organisational framework. We understand that information security is fundamental to player trust, and we invest continuously in the following safeguards:
- 256-bit SSL/TLS encryption — all data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit Secure Socket Layer technology.
- Firewall protection — our server infrastructure is protected by enterprise-grade firewalls that filter and monitor all incoming and outgoing traffic.
- Data encryption at rest — sensitive personal data stored in our databases is encrypted to prevent unauthorised access in the event of a breach.
- RNG certification — our Random Number Generators are certified by independent laboratories, ensuring fair play and tamper-proof game outcomes.
- Access controls — only authorised personnel with a legitimate operational need may access personal information, and all access is logged and audited.
- Regular security audits — we conduct periodic vulnerability assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate weaknesses proactively.
- Staff training — all staff handling user data are trained on data protection obligations and confidentiality requirements.
Despite our robust measures, no system is entirely immune to risk. In the unlikely event of a data breach that poses a risk to your rights, Kahuna Casino will notify you and the relevant supervisory authority within the timeframes prescribed by applicable law.
10. Data Retention Periods
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. The following table summarises our standard data storage practices:
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identification data | 5 years after account closure | AML/KYC legal obligations |
| Transaction and financial records | 7 years after transaction date | Tax and financial regulation |
| Gaming activity logs | 5 years after last activity | Regulatory and responsible gambling compliance |
| Communication records (chat/email) | 3 years after last contact | Dispute resolution and service improvement |
| Marketing consent records | Until consent is withdrawn + 3 years | Evidence of lawful marketing basis |
| Cookie and analytics data | Up to 2 years | Website improvement (anonymised after 90 days) |
When data storage is no longer justified, we securely delete or anonymise the data so it can no longer be linked back to you.
11. Your Privacy Rights
As an Australian player and, where applicable, as a person covered by the GDPR, you hold a comprehensive set of privacy rights in relation to your personal data held by Kahuna Casino. We are committed to honouring these rights promptly and without discrimination.
11.1 Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information Kahuna Casino holds about you. We will respond within 30 days of your verified request, free of charge for the first request in any 12-month period.
11.2 Right to Correction
If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you may request that we correct it. Many details — such as your email address or contact number — can be updated directly in your account settings. For identity documents or legally sensitive information, contact [email protected].
11.3 Right to Deletion ("Right to Be Forgotten")
You may request the deletion of your personal data where it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, where you have withdrawn consent, or where processing was unlawful. Note that certain data must be retained to meet legal obligations (see Section 10), and deletion requests relating to such data will be partially fulfilled.
11.4 Right to Restriction of Processing
In certain circumstances — such as where you contest the accuracy of your data or object to its processing — you may request that Kahuna Casino restrict data processing to storage only while the matter is resolved.
11.5 Right to Data Portability
Where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means, you may request a structured, commonly used, machine-readable copy of your personal data to transmit to another controller.
11.6 Right to Object
You have the right to object at any time to data processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interest, including direct marketing. Once you object to marketing, we will cease processing your data for that purpose immediately.
11.7 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on your consent (e.g., for marketing emails or certain analytics cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time via your account settings or by contacting [email protected]. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before withdrawal.
11.8 Rights in Relation to Automated Decision-Making
If Kahuna Casino makes any decisions about you based solely on automated processing — including profiling — that produce legal or similarly significant effects, you have the right to request human review of that decision.
To exercise any of your privacy rights, please submit a written request to [email protected], including your full name, registered email address, and a description of the right you wish to exercise. We will verify your identity before processing the request to protect against unauthorised access to your data.
12. Supervisory Authority — OAIC
If you believe that Kahuna Casino has handled your personal information in breach of the Australian Privacy Act 1988 or the Australian Privacy Principles, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority:
- Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC)
- Website: www.oaic.gov.au
- Phone: 1300 363 992
- Address: GPO Box 5218, Sydney NSW 2001
We encourage you to contact us at [email protected] in the first instance so that we have the opportunity to resolve your concern directly. For players also covered by the GDPR, the relevant supervisory authority in your EU/EEA country of residence may also have jurisdiction.
13. Responsible Gambling and Privacy
Kahuna Casino takes responsible gambling seriously, and certain data processing activities exist specifically to protect vulnerable players. This includes:
- Recording and enforcing deposit, bet, loss, and session limits set by the player
- Managing cooling-off periods (24 hours, 48 hours, 7 days, 30 days) and self-exclusion periods (6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanent)
- Monitoring gameplay patterns to identify signs of problem gambling
- Sharing self-exclusion data with other operators in a multi-operator exclusion scheme where applicable
The processing of data for responsible gambling purposes is carried out in the interest of player welfare and in compliance with our licensing obligations. Personal data used for this purpose is subject to strict confidentiality and is not used for marketing.
14. Children's Privacy
Kahuna Casino strictly prohibits access to its services by persons under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we become aware that data has been collected from a person under 18, we will delete it immediately. If you believe a minor has registered, please notify us at [email protected].
15. Updates to This Privacy Policy
The Kahuna Casino privacy policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in applicable law, our operational practices, or the services we offer. When we make material changes, we will notify you by email (at the address registered to your account) and/or by posting a prominent notice on kahunacasinos.net. The "Last Updated" date at the top of the policy will always reflect the most recent revision. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how we protect your personal information.
Continued use of Kahuna Casino following notification of changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. If you do not agree to the updated terms, you should close your account and cease using the platform.
