Privacy Policy
Lucky Fern Play ("we", "us", or "our") operates luckyfernplay.com, a free social casino website for users in New Zealand. We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information in a transparent and lawful way, including in line with the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand) where it applies.
1. Who this policy applies to
This Privacy Policy applies to anyone who visits luckyfernplay.com, plays our embedded social casino games, or contacts us by email. It does not cover third-party websites or services that you may reach through links on our site — those providers have their own privacy policies.
2. Information we collect
We aim to collect only what we need to run and improve the website. Depending on how you use Lucky Fern Play, we may process:
- Technical data: IP address (often in anonymised or aggregated form), browser type, operating system, device type, referring URL, and pages viewed.
- Usage data: How you interact with the site — for example, time on page, scroll depth, or clicks — through analytics tools.
- Contact data: If you email us, we receive your email address, name (if provided), and the content of your message.
- Cookie data: Small text files stored on your device as described in the Cookies section below.
We do not require you to create an account to play our free social casino games, and we do not collect payment card or banking information because no real-money transactions take place on this site.
3. How we use your information
We use collected information to:
- Operate, maintain, and secure luckyfernplay.com;
- Understand how visitors use the site and improve content and layout;
- Respond to enquiries and support requests;
- Comply with legal obligations and protect our legitimate interests;
- Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorised access.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
4. Legal basis and NZ privacy rights
Where the Privacy Act 2020 applies, we process personal information for purposes that are connected to operating our website and communicating with you. You may have the right to:
- Ask whether we hold personal information about you;
- Request access to that information;
- Request correction if information is inaccurate; and
- Raise a complaint with us or with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
To exercise these rights, contact turan.h@antetechnologies.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small files placed on your device when you visit a website. We may use:
- Essential cookies — required for basic site functionality and security;
- Analytics cookies — to measure traffic and usage patterns in aggregate;
- Preference cookies — where applicable, to remember choices you make on the site.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect how the site or embedded game performs.
6. Third-party services and game embed
Our featured game is loaded in an iframe from an external provider. When you play, that provider may collect its own technical and usage data under its separate privacy policy. We encourage you to review the game provider's policy if available.
We may also use third-party hosting, analytics, or content delivery services. Those partners process data on our behalf only as needed to deliver the service and are expected to protect it appropriately.
7. Data retention
We keep personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Contact emails are typically retained for up to 24 months unless a longer period is required for legal or dispute-resolution reasons. Analytics data is often stored in aggregated form with shorter retention for raw logs.
8. Security
We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. International users
Lucky Fern Play is intended primarily for visitors in New Zealand. If you access the site from outside New Zealand, you understand that your information may be processed in jurisdictions where privacy laws may differ from those in NZ.
10. Children
Our website is not directed at anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a person under 18 has provided us with data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change when we do. Material changes may also be highlighted on the website. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
