Privacy Policy for Australian Website Visitors
Last updated: 7 October 2026
Aussie Betting Hub ("we", "us", "our") operates the website trendsreader.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information when you visit or interact with our website.
Important note for Australian visitors: Aussie Betting Hub is an informational resource. We do not provide interactive gambling services to persons in Australia. Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth), the provision of online casino games, online pokies/slots, roulette, blackjack and online poker to Australian customers is prohibited, and licensed Australian operators are limited to sports and race wagering only. We do not advertise or link to prohibited or unlicensed interactive gambling services, and we do not present offshore online casinos as legal or licensed options for Australian players.
1. What information we collect
Depending on how you use the website, we may collect:
- Information you provide voluntarily — your name, email address and any other details you include when you contact us at [email protected] or subscribe to our updates.
- Information collected automatically — your IP address (or, where available, approximate geolocation derived from it), browser type, device type, pages visited, referring pages, and the date and time of your visits.
- Cookies and similar technologies — small files stored on your device that help the website function and help us understand how the site is used (see Section 5).
2. Legal bases for processing
Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and comparable Australian privacy law (including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)) apply, we process personal information on the following bases:
- Legitimate interests — operating and securing the website, analysing usage, and improving our content.
- Consent — where you have opted in to receive marketing communications or where consent is required (for example, for non-essential cookies).
- Legal obligation — where we are required to retain or disclose information by law, including obligations under Australian law relating to unlawful online gambling services.
3. How we use your information
We use personal information to:
- Operate, maintain and improve the website;
- Respond to your enquiries and requests;
- Ensure compliance with applicable law, including the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and requirements of Australian communications and consumer regulators such as the ACMA and the ACCC;
- Protect the website against misuse and unauthorised access.
We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18, and we do not knowingly send marketing to persons registered with BetStop, Australia’s National Self-Exclusion Register. If you are registered with BetStop and receive any communication from us, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take immediate steps to cease it.
4. Disclosure of your information
We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose it to:
- Service providers who assist with hosting and site operation, under contractual confidentiality obligations;
- Regulators or law enforcement authorities where disclosure is required or authorised by law.
5. Cookies and consent
Our website uses cookies. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function and do not require consent. Other, non-essential cookies are only set after you have given consent through the cookie banner presented on your first visit. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time through your browser settings or the cookie preferences link in the website footer. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect site functionality.
6. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you;
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
- Delete your personal information in certain circumstances;
- Restrict or object to certain processing;
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority — in Australia, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), or in the EU/EEA, your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected] with sufficient detail to identify you. We will respond within a reasonable period, as required by applicable law. If your request relates to BetStop registration, we will also stop all marketing communications to you.
7. Data security and retention
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, disclosure or destruction. We retain personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law, after which it is deleted or de-identified.
8. International transfers
Because our website is accessible internationally, information may be transferred to and stored on servers located outside your country of residence. Where required, such transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
