This Privacy Policy explains how planetbroadcasting.com (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit https://www.planetbroadcasting.com/ (“the Site”).
We’re an editorial and affiliate website that focuses on online casino Australia content. We explain topics like pokies volatility and RTP, blackjack strategy, roulette odds, live casino experiences, and game types that Australian players enjoy. We do not operate an online casino or accept bets – we review and compare third-party operators.
This policy applies to information collected through your use of the Site. It does not cover how third-party sites (such as casinos or payment providers we link to) handle your data.
We aim to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
What We Collect
We try to collect only what we need to run and improve the Site.

If you email us (for example to ask about a pokies guide or suggest a casino review), we receive your email address and any information you include in your message.
-
We do not currently offer user accounts, onsite comments, or a newsletter.
Browsing and device information
When you visit the Site, standard web technologies may automatically collect:
-
IP address and approximate location (e.g. city or region)

Cookies and similar technologies
We and our service providers may use:

Pixels, tags, and scripts
-
Link tracking parameters (such as affiliate IDs, UTMs, click IDs)
These tools help us:

Measure traffic and improve site performance

Attribute affiliate commissions when you click through to a partner and sign up or deposit

How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
-
Operate, maintain, and secure the Site
-
Analyse traffic and usage trends to improve our content and layout
-
Understand how readers use our guides on pokies, blackjack, live dealers, and other games
-
Run analytics and reporting for advertising and affiliate partnerships

Cookies & Tracking
Cookies and similar technologies help us remember your browser and understand how people interact with the Site.
You can usually control cookies via your browser settings by:
-
Blocking some or all cookies
-
Deleting existing cookies
-
Setting your browser to notify you when a site wants to store cookies
If you disable cookies, you will still be able to read our guides, but some features (such as analytics accuracy or tracking your affiliate click-through) may not work as intended.
Advertising, Analytics & Affiliates
We use standard analytics and affiliate tools that may place or read cookies and similar identifiers in your browser. These can include:
-
Analytics services that help us understand which pages are most popular
-
Advertising or marketing tools that help us measure performance and cap or tailor content
-
Affiliate tracking that attaches an ID to our outbound links to casino or other partner sites
When you click an affiliate link (for example to an online casino that offers Aussie-friendly pokies, blackjack, or live tables), the link may contain an identifier. If you sign up or transact with that operator, we may earn a commission. This does not change the price you pay or the odds you face with that operator.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to:
-
Service providers that help us host, maintain, secure, and analyse the Site (these may be located in Australia or overseas, including in countries such as the United States or members of the EU/EEA)
-
Affiliate and advertising partners for the purposes of tracking, reporting, and commission attribution
-
Professional advisors, where reasonably necessary (for example accountants or lawyers)
-
Regulators, law enforcement, or courts, where required or authorised by law
Where we disclose information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure recipients handle personal information in a manner consistent with the APPs.
Access, Correction & Your Choices
You can:
-
Request access to the personal information we hold about you
-
Ask us to correct personal information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, or misleading
To do this, email us at [email protected] and provide enough detail for us to identify you and your interaction with the Site (for example, the email address you used to contact us previously). We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
You can also limit data collection by:
-
Adjusting your browser’s cookie settings

Using privacy-focused browsers or extensions

Avoiding clicking outbound links if you do not want affiliate tracking
Data Security & Retention
We use reasonable safeguards to protect the information we hold, including:
-
HTTPS encryption on the Site

Restricted access to systems that store personal information
-
Regular updates and maintenance of software and hosting environments
No system can be guaranteed 100% secure, but we aim to minimise risk.
We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. For example:
-
Server logs are typically kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting
-
Analytics data may be retained in aggregated or pseudonymised form for trend analysis
