Corporate Transactions

In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, joint venture, insolvency, or similar corporate transaction involving Fat Bet or fatbet-aussie.com, your information may be transferred to the relevant successor or acquiring entity, subject to continued protection under this Privacy Policy or a substantially similar policy.

In all cases, we only share the minimum personal information necessary and require recipients to process it in accordance with applicable data protection laws and appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.

International Transfers

Fat Bet and fatbet-aussie.com operate as an offshore online service. This means that your personal information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including locations where privacy and data protection standards may differ from those in your jurisdiction (for example, countries in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other third countries where our hosting, support, or processing providers are based).

Data centres and processors: We may use cloud hosting and service providers located in different regions (such as the EU, the UK, or other jurisdictions) to store and process Site data.
Safeguards for international transfers: Where required by applicable law, we implement appropriate safeguards to protect personal information transferred internationally, which may include:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or equivalent contractual protections adopted by relevant regulators.
- Contractual obligations on recipients to maintain robust security standards and to process personal information solely on our instructions.
- Technical safeguards such as encryption in transit and at rest to reduce risks arising from cross-border transfers.
Access from Australia and other countries: By using the Site, you understand that your information may be accessed from or stored in countries whose laws may provide a different level of data protection than your home country. We will always take reasonable steps to ensure that your information is handled securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, reporting, and regulatory requirements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data and applicable law, but we apply the following general rules:

Account and identity data: if you create an account or profile, we generally keep your identity and contact data for the duration of your relationship with us and for up to five (5) years after account closure, unless a longer period is required by law (for example, to comply with AML/CTF obligations or to resolve disputes).
Transaction and payment data (if applicable): we retain transaction records and related financial data for at least five (5) years after the relevant transaction or account closure, or longer if required by tax, financial, or gaming regulations.
Technical and usage data: log data, device information, and analytical records are typically retained for up to twenty-four (24) months from the date of collection, after which they may be aggregated or anonymised for long-term analytics.
Marketing data: information relating to your marketing preferences and communication history is kept for as long as you remain subscribed to our marketing communications and for up to two (2) years after you opt out, to maintain records of your request.
Support and complaint records: correspondence with support or complaints may be retained for up to five (5) years from the last interaction, or longer where necessary to manage disputes or comply with regulatory requirements.

When the relevant retention period expires or the information is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, we will either securely delete or irreversibly anonymise the data. Where deletion is technically difficult, we will securely archive the data and restrict access until deletion becomes possible.

Your Rights

We respect your rights in relation to your personal information. While our primary audience is in Australia and we operate offshore, we strive to align our practices with international standards such as the GDPR and, where relevant, comparable rights recognised in other privacy frameworks. Subject to applicable law and certain exemptions, you may have the following rights:

Right of access: to obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal information and, if so, to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you, together with certain details about the processing.
Right to rectification: to request that inaccurate or incomplete personal information be corrected or completed without undue delay.
Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): to request deletion of your personal information where:
- the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected;
- you withdraw consent (where processing was based on consent) and there is no other legal basis;
- you validly object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds; or
- the data was processed unlawfully or must be erased to comply with a legal obligation.
This right may be limited where retention is required for legal or regulatory purposes.
Right to restriction of processing: to request that we restrict processing of your information in certain circumstances, for example while we verify the accuracy of data you contest, or where you have objected to processing pending verification of overriding legitimate grounds.
Right to object: to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal information based on our legitimate interests. We will stop such processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims. You also have an unconditional right to object to direct marketing, including profiling related to direct marketing.
Right to data portability (where applicable): to receive personal information you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller where the processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
Right to withdraw consent: where processing is based on your consent (e.g., marketing communications or certain cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Submit a request: You may exercise your rights by contacting us via email at [email protected] or [email protected], clearly describing the right you wish to exercise and providing sufficient information for us to confirm your identity.
Identity verification: To protect your privacy and security, we may ask you to provide additional information to verify your identity before processing your request.
Response timeframe: We aim to respond to all valid requests as soon as reasonably practicable and, in any event, within thirty (30) days of receipt, subject to extension where permitted by law (for example, if the request is complex or numerous). We will inform you if we need more time.
Fees: Requests are handled free of charge. However, if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive (for example, repetitive), we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request, where permitted by law.

Types of Cookies

Session cookies: temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They enable core site functionality during a single session, such as maintaining navigation states.
Persistent cookies: remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them. They store your preferences (for example, language or cookie consent choices) and help us recognise you as a returning visitor.
First-party cookies: placed directly by fatbet-aussie.com to remember your settings and support essential site operations.
Third-party cookies: placed by external providers (for example, analytics services or advertising networks) to perform functions like audience measurement or targeted advertising.

Purposes of Cookies

Strictly necessary / functional: required for the Site to function properly, such as enabling secure log-in, load balancing, and basic navigation. These cannot be switched off in our systems.

Analytics and performance: used to collect aggregated information on how visitors use the Site (pages visited, time spent, error messages) so we can improve performance and user experience.

These may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners, where applicable law permits and you have provided consent.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement technical and organisational measures designed to protect it against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. While no system is completely secure, we apply security controls aligned with industry best practices:

Encryption in transit: communications between your browser and fatbet-aussie.com are protected using Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.2 or higher, helping to safeguard data from interception.
Encryption at rest: where feasible, sensitive data stored on our servers or within our service providers' infrastructure is encrypted at rest to reduce risks in the event of unauthorised access to storage media.
Access controls: access to personal information is restricted to authorised personnel and service providers who need it to perform their duties and are bound by confidentiality obligations.
Authentication and authorisation: we implement strong authentication mechanisms, and where appropriate, multi-factor authentication, for administrative access to systems that host or process personal information.
Security monitoring and audits: we conduct periodic assessments of our systems and may engage external specialists to carry out security reviews and testing. We also monitor systems for suspicious activities.
Staff training: staff and contractors who handle personal information receive guidance and training on data protection obligations, secure handling of information, and incident reporting procedures.
Incident response: we maintain procedures to detect, investigate, and respond to suspected data breaches. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and relevant authorities where required by law.

Where our service providers process personal information on our behalf, we require them to implement and maintain appropriate security measures consistent with their role and industry standards. Where applicable, we aim to align our practices with recognised security frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001 or SOC 2 through the use of compliant partners, although we may not be formally certified ourselves.
