Special Categories of Data

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (such as health or religious beliefs) as defined in the GDPR or comparable laws, other than responsible gambling data that may indirectly relate to your health or vulnerability when you provide it voluntarily (for example, in self-exclusion requests). Where such information is collected, it is processed with enhanced safeguards and only where strictly necessary.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data in a manner consistent with applicable privacy laws, including the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and where applicable the EU/UK GDPR and relevant Mexican privacy laws. Depending on the context, we rely on the following legal grounds.

Performance of a Contract

  • To create, administer and maintain your player account on Staycasino via staybet-au.com.
  • To provide the interactive casino services you request (placing bets, participating in games, processing deposits/withdrawals, awarding bonuses and loyalty rewards).
  • To provide customer support, handle your enquiries and resolve technical issues affecting your use of the Service.

Compliance with Legal Obligations

  • To comply with gambling, anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorism financing (CTF), sanctions and "know your customer" (KYC) obligations under the laws and regulations applicable to Hollycorn N.V. and its group companies.
  • To maintain adequate records for tax, accounting, audit and regulatory reporting purposes.
  • To respond to lawful requests from courts, regulators, law enforcement or other competent public authorities.

Legitimate Interests

  • To secure and protect our systems, network and users (including fraud detection, account and transaction monitoring, preventing abuse, cheating, misuse or security incidents).
  • To improve and develop the Service, including game offerings, user interface and performance, based on aggregated or pseudonymised analytics.
  • To personalise content and recommendations, tailor promotions and loyalty rewards, and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
  • To enforce our terms and conditions, protect our rights, property, operations and the safety of players and third parties.

When we rely on legitimate interests, we balance those interests against your rights and expectations and implement safeguards such as pseudonymisation, strict access controls and data minimisation.

  • For certain types of cookies, analytics and advertising technologies that are not strictly necessary for the Service, where required by applicable law.
  • For direct electronic marketing (such as email, SMS or push notifications) where your consent is required or where our legitimate interest is not sufficient.
  • For the processing of any sensitive information you voluntarily provide (for example, certain responsible gambling communications), to the extent required by law.

You may withdraw your consent at any time, as described in the "Your Rights" and "Cookies & Tracking Technologies" sections. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

We do not sell your personal data as a standalone product. However, we may share your data with carefully selected third parties for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and subject to appropriate contractual safeguards.

Group Companies

  • Hollycorn N.V. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Libergos Limited may share personal data where necessary for payment processing, AML compliance, internal reporting, support and technical operations.

Payment Partners

  • IT service providers (hosting, cloud infrastructure, email delivery, monitoring, security providers), analytics providers and customer support tools (including live chat).
  • Identity verification, KYC/AML, sanctions screening and fraud prevention providers.

Regulators and Public Authorities

  • Licensing and regulatory authorities (such as Antillephone N.V. and other relevant authorities in Curaçao) as required to demonstrate compliance with gambling, AML and related regulations.

Affiliates and Advertising Networks

  • Affiliate partners who refer players to staybet-au.com, for the purpose of tracking referrals, calculating commissions and preventing abuse.
  • Advertising networks and marketing partners that help us deliver or measure online campaigns. Where required, these partners operate on the basis of your consent to specific cookies or tracking technologies.

Business Transfers

  • In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, sale of assets or insolvency event, your personal data may be transferred to the acquiring or successor entity, subject to confidentiality and privacy protections consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Safeguards for Sharing

All third parties that process personal data on our behalf are bound by contractual obligations to:

  • Use personal data only for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions.
  • Implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures.
  • Delete or return personal data once their services are completed, unless retention is required by law.

International Transfers

Because we operate a global online casino service from outside Australia, your personal data may be transferred to and stored in countries other than your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws, which in some cases may be less protective than those in your home jurisdiction.

Main Locations of Processing

  • Curaçao: corporate headquarters and main operational base of Hollycorn N.V.
  • Cyprus: payment processing activities performed by Libergos Limited.
  • European Union / EEA and the UK: hosting, technical, analytics and verification providers may be located in or process data from these regions.
  • Other countries: selected service providers (including cloud, analytics and marketing providers) may process data in jurisdictions such as the United States or other countries where they are established.

Legal Safeguards

  • When transferring personal data from the EEA/UK to countries without an adequacy decision, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as:
    • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission or the UK's International Data Transfer Agreement/Addendum.
    • Intra-group data transfer agreements incorporating similar safeguards.
    • Technical measures like encryption and pseudonymisation to reduce risk.
  • For Australian users, we take reasonable steps to ensure that overseas recipients do not breach the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to your personal information, as far as they apply to us as an overseas organisation.
  • Where Mexican or other local laws require specific safeguards for cross-border transfers, we implement appropriate contractual and technical protections consistent with those laws.

By using the Service, you acknowledge that your personal data may be transferred and processed in these jurisdictions under the safeguards described above.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and to protect our legitimate interests (such as handling disputes or enforcing our terms). When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted, anonymised or archived.

  • Right of access: to obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of your data together with certain information about how we use it.
  • Right to rectification: to have inaccurate or incomplete personal data corrected or updated. You can change many details directly in your account settings.
  • Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): to request deletion of your personal data where, for example, it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or you withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing. This right may be limited where we must retain data to comply with legal obligations (such as AML and record-keeping laws).
  • Right to restriction of processing: to request that we restrict the processing of your data in certain circumstances, for example while we verify contested accuracy.
  • Right to object: to object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling based on those interests.

Rights under the GDPR (EEA/UK) and Mexican Law

  • Right to data portability (GDPR Article 20): to receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller, where technically feasible and where processing is based on consent or contract and carried out by automated means.
  • Rights under Mexican privacy law: for individuals in Mexico, rights that broadly align with the GDPR, including access, rectification, cancellation and opposition (ARCO rights) under the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties and related regulations.

  • Vendor due diligence: Third-party processors are assessed for their security posture and are contractually obliged to implement appropriate safeguards.
  • Audit and monitoring: We conduct periodic audits and reviews of our security and privacy controls, and we monitor systems for suspicious activity.

Incident Response
