Data Collection and Categories of Personal Information
Lucky Nugget Casino collects personal information necessary to provide gaming services, meet legal obligations, and operate our platform. This information is obtained directly from you during interactions with our services, and automatically through your use of the website and applications. We categorize the personal data processed as follows.
Registration and identity data includes information provided during account creation and verification. This encompasses your full name, date of birth, residential address, contact email, and telephone number. For verification purposes, we may process copies of identification documents, such as a driver's licence or passport, and proof of address documents.
Financial and transactional data is generated from your account activity. This includes deposit and withdrawal records, payment method details (e.g., card number, bank account, e-wallet identifier), transaction amounts, and game play history. We also process data related to bonuses and promotions, such as the use of bonus codes. For instance, the application of lucky nugget casino codes or lucky nugget $20 free spins codes is recorded to manage promotional offers correctly.
Technical and usage data is automatically collected. This includes your IP address, device type and identifiers, browser information, operating system, and broad geographic location. We log details of your interactions with our services, including pages visited, features used, and the time and duration of your sessions.

Communication and compliance records include the content of correspondence with our support team via email, live chat, or telephone. We also maintain records related to responsible gambling interactions, self-exclusion requests, and any investigations into terms of service breaches or fraudulent activity.

Data Storage, Protection, and Retention Periods
Personal data collected from players in New Zealand is stored on secure servers located in jurisdictions with adequate data protection standards. We implement a combination of technical and organisational measures designed to safeguard your information against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
Technical security measures include the use of encryption technologies for data in transit and at rest. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption protects information transmitted between your device and our servers. Access to personal data is strictly limited to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis, governed by robust access control policies and authentication protocols. Our systems are monitored for potential vulnerabilities and attacks.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods are determined based on the nature of the data and the legal basis for processing. Specific retention timelines are as follows.
- Account data: Retained for the duration of your account activity and for a period of seven years following account closure to comply with financial and anti-money laundering regulations.
- Financial transaction records: Retained for a minimum of seven years from the date of the transaction as required by law.
- Identity verification documents: Retained for as long as your account is active and for a period of seven years after closure.
- Communication records: Retained for up to seven years to ensure a record of interactions and for dispute resolution purposes.
- Technical logs: Retained for a period necessary for security monitoring and forensic analysis, typically not exceeding two years.
Upon expiry of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so it can no longer be associated with you. Anonymised data may be retained for internal analytical purposes.
Player Rights and Request Procedures
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you possess specific rights regarding your personal information. Lucky Nugget Casino is committed to facilitating the exercise of these rights. To protect your data, all requests are subject to a verification process to confirm your identity. We will respond to verified requests within a reasonable timeframe, as required by law.
You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. This includes the right to obtain confirmation of whether we are processing your data and to receive a copy of that data. You may also request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal information. If you believe the information we hold is incorrect, you can contact us to have it amended.
In certain circumstances, you have the right to request the erasure of your personal data. This is not an absolute right and may be refused if we have a compelling legal or regulatory reason to continue processing. You may also have the right to restrict the processing of your data, or to object to processing based on legitimate interests. Furthermore, you can request the portability of your data, which allows you to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services.
To submit a request related to your data rights, you must contact our Privacy Officer using the designated contact details provided in the contact section of our website. Your request must include sufficient information to identify you and specify the right you wish to exercise. We may request additional information to verify your identity, which is a necessary security step before proceeding. This verification is particularly important for requests related to an account you use to play Lucky Nugget casino games. We will not charge a fee for exercising your rights unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
