Social entertainment — no gambling

Privacy Policy

GearMate Slots is built for Aussies who want fast fun without the fuss. We collect only what we need to keep the reels smooth, give you clear choices, and never sell your data — full stop.

Effective date:

Privacy shouldn’t feel like a boss level. This page explains — in plain English — what we collect, why we collect it, and the controls you have. Screenshots and spins are fun; legal fine print isn’t. So we keep it short, honest and readable.

1. Information we collect

  • Contact basics — only if you email us or use the contact form (name and email).
  • Gameplay & site events — page loads, button clicks, errors and performance timings to keep reels smooth.
  • Device basics — browser type, language, screen size. No sensitive device identifiers.
  • Cookie preferences — so we remember your choices next time.
We do not run real‑money gambling and we don’t profile players for ads.

2. How we use your information

We use the data above to operate and improve GearMate Slots. Typical purposes include:

  • Keeping the site fast, secure and available.
  • Finding bugs (e.g., when a game iFrame fails to load) and prioritising fixes.
  • Improving features you actually use, like fullscreen or quick‑resume.
  • Preventing abuse and cheating to protect fair play.
We never sell your data to advertisers or data brokers.

3. Cookies & similar tech

Cookies help us remember settings and improve performance. Essentials are on by default; everything else is your call.

Essential

Security, uptime, language and basic preferences.

Analytics (optional)

Anonymous stats to help us understand what’s working.

Personalisation (optional)

Saves layout tweaks and favourites on this device.

In‑site promos

Only our own updates — no third‑party ads.

4. Sharing & storage

  • We use reputable providers to host and process data on our behalf under contract.
  • Data is stored in secure cloud regions with access controls and logging.
  • We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above or to meet legal obligations.
We periodically review retention to delete data we no longer need.

5. What we never collect

  • Government IDs, tax numbers, payment card details.
  • Precise geolocation or continuous location tracking.
  • Biometric identifiers or health data.
  • Third‑party ad tracking identifiers for cross‑site profiling.
If we can run the site without a datapoint, we don’t collect it.

6. Children’s privacy

GearMate Slots is for entertainment and recommended for players 18+. We don’t knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a minor has provided us details, please contact us and we’ll delete them.

7. Your rights & controls

  • Change cookie choices anytime (footer link).
  • Request a copy of your contact messages or ask us to delete them.
  • Opt out of non‑essential analytics; essentials keep the site running.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under local law. We’ll honour valid requests wherever reasonable.

8. Regional notices

We aim for global best‑practice privacy. Where applicable, we follow regional requirements (e.g., GDPR consent for non‑essential cookies).

Australia: we follow the spirit of the Privacy Act and OAIC guidance. We don’t run real‑money gambling and don’t share player data with advertisers.
