Sharing Your Personal Data with Third Parties
Level Up Casino does not sell your personal information to third parties. However, we may share your user data with carefully selected partners for specific, documented purposes. Every third party with whom we share personal data is required to maintain appropriate data protection standards and to use the information solely for the purposes for which it was disclosed.
Payment Service Providers
To process your deposits and withdrawals securely, we share relevant financial data with payment processors including Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, Neosurf, PayID, and our cryptocurrency payment partners such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin processors. Each provider operates under its own privacy framework and data security standards. Minimum deposit is A$20 and minimum withdrawal is A$30.
Identity Verification and Compliance Partners
To fulfil our KYC and AML obligations, we share identity documents and verification requests with third-party identity verification services. This element of our data processing is a strict legal requirement before we can process your first withdrawal. All verification partners are bound by confidentiality agreements and applicable privacy legislation.

Where required by law, Level Up Casino may disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, or government authorities. Any such disclosure is made strictly within the limits required by applicable legislation, and we do not disclose more personal information than is strictly necessary to comply with our legal obligations.
Technology and Analytics Partners
We use third-party analytics and marketing platforms to understand how players interact with our site. These providers may collect user data through cookies and other tracking tools.

These providers may collect limited technical data to deliver their gaming services to you but do not receive your full personal information unless strictly necessary for the provision of their services.
International Data Transfers
As an operator licensed in Curaçao, Level Up Casino may transfer your personal data to countries outside Australia. In such cases, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the confidentiality and security of your information. These safeguards may include standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions, or equivalent legal mechanisms recognised under Australian and international privacy law.
Where transfers occur to countries without equivalent data protection legislation, Level Up Casino takes additional steps to ensure your personal information receives protection comparable to what you would expect under Australian law. We remain accountable for all transferred data and require our international partners to adhere to the same information security standards we apply internally.

- Strict Access Controls: Access to your personal data is restricted to authorised personnel who require it to perform their specific duties, in accordance with the principle of least privilege and role-based access control.
- Regular Security Audits: Level Up Casino conducts periodic information security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential risks before they can affect our players.
- Data Minimisation: We collect only the personal information strictly necessary for each stated purpose, reducing unnecessary exposure of your user data and limiting the potential impact of any security incident.

Data Storage and Retention Periods
Level Up Casino retains your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy or as required by applicable law. Our approach to data storage is guided by clear retention principles that balance legal compliance with your right to have unnecessary data deleted.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account and identity verification data | Account duration plus 5 years | AML and regulatory compliance |
| Financial transaction records | 7 years from transaction date | Tax and financial regulatory requirements |
| Gaming activity records | Account duration plus 2 years | Responsible gambling and dispute resolution |
| Customer support communications | 3 years from last interaction | Service quality and legal compliance |
| Marketing preference records | Until withdrawal of consent or account closure | Consent management |
| Technical and log data | 12 months rolling | Security monitoring and fraud prevention |
Once the applicable retention period expires, your personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised in accordance with our data storage procedures. Our systems are designed to enforce these retention schedules automatically wherever technically feasible, minimising human error and ensuring consistent compliance.
