This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you access and play Sugar Rush. We are committed to maintaining the privacy and security of your data in accordance with New Zealand privacy laws and international standards. This document explains our practices regarding data collection, processing, and your rights as a user.
Information We Collect
When you access Sugar Rush, we collect several types of information to provide you with a secure and personalised gaming experience. Personal information includes your name, email address, date of birth, postal address, and payment details when you create an account or make transactions. We also gather technical data such as your IP address, device type, browser information, operating system, and gameplay statistics.

Additionally, we collect behavioural data including your gaming preferences, session duration, bet amounts, and interaction patterns within Sugar Rush to enhance your user experience and ensure safe gaming practices.
How We Use Your Information
Your personal information serves multiple essential purposes within our operations. We use your data to operate and maintain Sugar Rush, process deposits and withdrawals, verify your age and identity to comply with gambling regulations, and communicate important updates about the game or your account. Your information enables us to provide customer support, resolve disputes, and address technical issues promptly. We analyse gameplay data to detect unusual patterns that may indicate problem gambling behaviours, allowing us to implement safe gaming measures when necessary. We also use aggregated and anonymised data to improve game features, develop new content, and optimise performance across different devices and platforms.

We never sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

When we share information with partners outside New Zealand, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your privacy rights.
Data Security and Retention
We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security infrastructure includes encryption of data during transmission using industry-standard SSL/TLS protocols, secure storage of personal information on protected servers with restricted access, regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, multi-factor authentication for account access, and continuous monitoring for suspicious activities or potential breaches. We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this privacy policy or as required by law. Account information and transaction records are typically maintained for seven years following account closure to comply with financial regulations and anti-money laundering requirements. Gameplay data may be retained in anonymised form for analytical purposes. You may request deletion of your personal information at any time, subject to our legal obligations to retain certain records.
