International Data Transfers
Because online gambling and digital service infrastructure may involve service providers, corporate support functions, or technical systems located outside Australia, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in other countries.
Where cross-border disclosure occurs, Cocoa Casino will take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient handles personal information in a manner consistent with applicable privacy requirements and contractual obligations. However, overseas recipients may be subject to foreign laws and lawful access requests in their own jurisdictions.

Data Retention
Cocoa Casino retains personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including to meet legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and record-keeping obligations.
In particular, personal information connected to identity verification, account records, and transaction monitoring may be retained for a minimum period of 5 years where required for anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, or related compliance obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on:
- whether your account remains open or inactive
- the nature of the information held
- whether there is an unresolved complaint, dispute, or legal claim
- whether the information is needed for fraud prevention or security investigations
- statutory retention requirements under applicable law
After the applicable retention period ends, Cocoa Casino will take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify personal information unless further retention is required or authorised by law.
Where lawful and applicable, you may request erasure of personal information that is no longer required. This right is not absolute and may be limited where Cocoa Casino must retain information to comply with legal obligations, complete transactions, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, or enforce its agreements.
Security of Your Data
Cocoa Casino uses technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.
These measures may include:

- monitoring of systems for suspicious activity and security incidents
- document handling procedures for KYC and compliance files
