Legal Basis for Processing
OBSERVE: As an offshore operator serving Australian users, Solcasino must articulate lawful bases consistent with international standards (e.g. GDPR-style) even though primary regulation arises from Curaçao and general privacy principles.
EXPAND: Data is processed based on consent, contractual necessity, legal obligations (especially AML/KYC) and legitimate interests (fraud prevention, service improvement, marketing analytics), with ability for users to object where appropriate.

REFLECT: We list the main categories of recipients and the conditions under which sharing occurs.

- Business transfers: In the context of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, restructuring or insolvency event involving Solcasino, your data may be transferred to relevant third parties, subject to confidentiality obligations and continued protection consistent with this Policy.
We do not sell your personal data as a standalone asset for unrelated third-party marketing.
International Transfers
OBSERVE: Data collected from Australian players is processed in multiple jurisdictions, including Curaçao and Cyprus, and via global service providers.
EXPAND: International transfers raise requirements for contractual safeguards and security measures, even in the absence of a single overarching regime binding all jurisdictions.
REFLECT: We explain where data may go and what protections we implement.
Your personal data may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction and may not be recognised as providing an equivalent level of protection as, for example, the laws of the European Union.
- Primary processing locations:
- Curaçao - where Galaktika N.V. is established and where core operational and regulatory oversight functions are located.
- Cyprus - where Unionstar Limited provides payment processing and certain support services.
- Other locations: Depending on the location of our service providers, your data may also be processed in other countries (for example, members of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or data centre locations in North America or Asia) where our hosting, security and communication vendors operate.
Where we transfer personal data across borders, we take reasonable steps to ensure that:
- Transfers are limited to what is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy.
- Recipients are bound by appropriate contractual obligations such as data processing agreements, including, where applicable, standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms recognised in the relevant jurisdictions.
- Technical and organisational security measures are implemented to protect your information in transit and at the destination.
By using sol-aussie.com, you understand that your data may be processed in these jurisdictions in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Data Retention
OBSERVE: Gambling operators must balance AML/CTF record-keeping duties with data minimisation requirements.
EXPAND: Different data categories have different retention periods, often linked to account closure and statutory limitation periods.
REFLECT: We provide indicative retention periods and deletion criteria.
- Account and identification data: We generally retain your core account data and KYC information for the duration of your relationship with us and for up to five (5) years after account closure or your last transaction, whichever is later, to comply with AML/CTF and regulatory record-keeping obligations and to handle potential disputes.
- Transaction and gaming data: Betting history, payment records and related logs are typically kept for up to five (5) years from the date of the relevant transaction, unless a longer period is required by law or necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
- Technical logs and security data: IP logs, device information and security incident records are normally stored for between six (6) months and five (5) years, depending on their relevance for security, fraud investigation and regulatory purposes.
- Marketing data: Data used for marketing communications is kept until you withdraw consent or object to such processing, and for a short period thereafter (typically no longer than twelve (12) months) to record and honour your opt-out preferences.
- Cookies: Retention periods for cookies are described in the "Cookies & Tracking Technologies" section and range from end of session to up to twenty-four (24) months, depending on the cookie type.
When personal data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected and there is no legal requirement to retain it, we will either irreversibly anonymise it or securely delete it. Where deletion is not technically feasible, we will put in place measures to prevent further processing and restrict access.
Your Rights
OBSERVE: While we primarily operate under Curaçao law and offshore frameworks, many privacy regimes (including the EU's and comparable Latin American concepts) recognise similar individual rights.
EXPAND: We align our practices with widely accepted standards (such as GDPR-style rights and principles akin to Mexican data protection frameworks like ARCO: access, rectification, cancellation, opposition), even though Solcasino does not target Mexico specifically.
REFLECT: We clearly explain available rights, how to exercise them, timeframes and cost (if any).
Available Rights
Subject to applicable law and certain limitations, you may have the following rights in relation to your personal data:
- Right of access: To obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, if so, to receive a copy and relevant information about such processing.
- Right to rectification: To request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
- Right to deletion / cancellation: To request deletion of your personal data where:
- it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected; or
- you have withdrawn consent (where processing was based on consent); or
- you have successfully objected to processing;
- Right to restriction of processing: To request that we restrict processing in specific circumstances, such as while we verify data accuracy or assess an objection.
- Right to object: To object to processing based on our legitimate interests, including profiling, on grounds relating to your particular situation. You also have an unconditional right to object at any time to the use of your data for direct marketing.
- Right to data portability: Where technically feasible and applicable, to receive certain personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to request transmission to another controller.
- Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on your consent (for example, for marketing communications or certain cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time.
How to Exercise Your Rights
- Submit a request: Send an email to [email protected] or [email protected] with:
- Your full name and username.
- The email address associated with your Solcasino account.
- A clear description of the right you wish to exercise and the data concerned.
- Identity verification: To protect your account and data, we may request additional information or documentation to verify your identity before acting on your request.
- Response timeframe: We aim to respond without undue delay and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days of receiving a complete request. This period may be extended by a further thirty (30) days where necessary due to complexity or number of requests; if so, we will inform you of the extension and reasons.
- Fees: Requests are generally handled free of charge. However, where a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive (for example, repeated requests), we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act, in line with applicable legal standards.
Nothing in this section limits your rights under any specific data protection law that may apply to you in your country of residence; where such laws grant stronger protections, we will seek to honour them to the extent compatible with our legal obligations (including AML/CTF and licensing requirements).
Cookies & Tracking Technologies
OBSERVE: Cookies are a core component of web-based gaming platforms for security, functionality and marketing.
EXPAND: Transparency requires distinguishing cookie types, explaining purposes and offering control mechanisms.
REFLECT: We categorise cookies and explain how users can manage them.
Types of Cookies We Use
- Session cookies: Temporary cookies that remain on your device only while your browser is open. They are essential for maintaining your login session, keeping your bets and game states, and ensuring seamless navigation.
- Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a predefined period (from a few hours up to twenty-four (24) months) or until you delete them. They help remember your preferences (such as language, saved credentials subject to your browser settings) and allow us to understand returning user behaviour.
- First-party cookies: Cookies placed by sol-aussie.com to support core functionality, security and analytics.
- Third-party cookies: Cookies set by third-party service providers (for example, analytics tools, fraud detection services and marketing platforms) that assist us in measuring performance, preventing abuse and, where allowed, delivering relevant advertising.
Purposes of Cookies
- Strictly necessary / functional: Required for the Website to function correctly, including authentication, session management, load balancing and game performance. Disabling these cookies may prevent you from using some services.
- Analytics and performance: Used to collect anonymous or pseudonymous data about how users interact with the Website, which pages are visited and which features are most used. This helps us improve our services and user experience.
- Security and fraud prevention: Used to detect and prevent malicious activities, bots, unauthorised logins and fraudulent transactions.
- Advertising and personalisation (where permitted): Used to deliver promotions and offers that may be more relevant to you, and to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. These cookies are typically set only with your consent where required by applicable law.
Managing Cookies
- Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking certain types of cookies or deleting existing ones. Please refer to your browser's help section for instructions.
- In-site controls: Where available, we may provide internal cookie or privacy settings within your account dashboard or via a cookie banner, allowing you to manage non-essential cookies.
- Effect of disabling cookies: If you disable or reject certain cookies, some functions of sol-aussie.com may not operate as intended, and your gaming experience may be limited.
Data Security
OBSERVE: Online gambling involves sensitive financial and behavioural data that require robust security practices.
EXPAND: Security encompasses encryption, access controls, monitoring, incident response and staff awareness, aligned with recognised standards.
REFLECT: We summarise our security approach without disclosing sensitive technical details that could compromise security.
- Encryption in transit and at rest: Data transmitted between your browser and sol-aussie.com is protected using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols (TLS 1.2 or higher). Where appropriate, we also encrypt particularly sensitive data when stored.
- Access control and authentication: Access to personal data is restricted to authorised personnel and service providers who need it for legitimate business purposes. Strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication where appropriate on administrative systems, are used to reduce the risk of unauthorised access.
- Infrastructure and application security: We employ firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems, regular vulnerability scanning and other technical safeguards to protect our infrastructure and applications from external and internal threats.
- Monitoring and audits: Logs and activities on critical systems are monitored and periodically reviewed. We conduct internal reviews and, where appropriate, engage external experts to assess our controls. While sol-aussie.com may not be formally certified under standards such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2, we endeavour to align our practices with the principles underlying such frameworks.
- Staff awareness and confidentiality: Employees and contractors who may access personal data are subject to confidentiality obligations and receive training on data protection and security best practices relevant to their role.
- Incident response: We maintain procedures to detect, assess and respond to potential data breaches or security incidents. Where required by law, we will notify relevant authorities and affected users of a qualifying personal data breach without undue delay, including details of the incident and measures taken.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; however, we strive to use commercially reasonable measures to protect your personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction.
Complaints & Contacts
OBSERVE: Users require clear channels for questions and complaints about privacy, as well as escalation options.
EXPAND: A structured complaint process with timeframes improves transparency and aligns with good regulatory practice.
REFLECT: We define contact points, steps and external recourse options.

If you have any questions, concerns or complaints regarding this Privacy Policy or our handling of your personal data, you may contact us using the following channels:
- Email (primary for privacy matters): [email protected]

Escalation to Supervisory Authorities
Depending on your country of residence, you may have the right to lodge a complaint about our data processing with a competent data protection or regulatory authority. For example:
- European Union / EEA residents (if applicable): You may contact your local data protection authority in the EU/EEA. Details can usually be found on the website of your national government or data protection regulator.
- Other jurisdictions: If your local laws provide for a dedicated data protection or consumer authority, you may contact that authority to seek guidance or lodge a complaint about our practices.
While Solcasino is operated from outside Australia, users may also wish to consult Australian consumer and online gambling guidance. However, our primary regulatory oversight is exercised by the competent authorities in Curaçao as part of our licensing framework.
Updates
OBSERVE: Privacy policies must evolve with legal requirements, technical changes and new services.
EXPAND: Transparency demands advance notice for material changes and clear indication of the current version.
REFLECT: We define how we will inform you, how changes take effect, and your options.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements or other factors.
Notification of Changes
- Minor changes: For non-material updates (for example, clarifications, grammatical corrections or changes that do not affect your rights or obligations), we may simply post the updated Policy on sol-aussie.com with an updated "Last updated" date.
