About this notice

The operator of monkeybay.co.nz publishes Monkey Bay Casino Club, an information site about casino games, poker and entertainment in New Zealand. This notice explains how we handle personal information connected with this website and messages sent to our editorial team. We do not run casino games, register players, accept deposits or process bets.

For privacy questions or requests, contact club@monkeybay.co.nz .

Information you choose to send

The contact form prepares an email draft on your device. It does not submit the form to our website. We receive your email address, message, any name you choose to include and other information you add to the email only if you send it from your email application. Contact is voluntary. You can browse the site without contacting us, but we may be unable to reply without a usable email address or enough detail about your enquiry.

Please do not include payment details, identity documents, account credentials or other sensitive information in a general enquiry. If you provide information about someone else, make sure you are entitled to share it.

Technical data and cookies

Our static pages do not set analytics or advertising cookies. The website search works in your browser and does not send the words you type to us through the search feature. Our hosting provider may record an IP address, requested page, date and time, browser details and error or security events to deliver the site, diagnose faults and prevent misuse. Your own email provider also handles any message you choose to send.

How we use and share information

We use enquiry emails to reply, investigate article corrections and deal with privacy requests. Technical records support site delivery and security. We do not sell personal information or use enquiry emails for advertising. People who help operate the site, and our hosting and email providers, may handle information for these purposes. We may disclose information to an authority where required or permitted by law.

Storage, security and overseas services

We keep correspondence only as long as reasonably needed to handle the enquiry, maintain a relevant correction record or meet a legal obligation. Hosting records are kept under the provider's retention arrangements. We take reasonable steps to protect information we hold, but no email or internet service can be guaranteed completely secure.

Hosting or email services may process information outside New Zealand. Where an overseas disclosure is subject to the Privacy Act 2020, we will meet its applicable requirements. You can ask us for more information about the services handling your information.

Access, correction and complaints

You may request access to personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct it. Email club@monkeybay.co.nz with enough detail to locate the information. We may verify your identity before releasing it and will respond as required by New Zealand law. If you are unhappy with our response, you can make a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner .

If a privacy breach is likely to cause serious harm, we will notify affected people and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner when the law requires it.

External websites

Articles may link to independent websites for sources or context. This notice does not cover those websites; their own privacy terms apply when you visit them.
