1. Who we are
Celestial Essentials is an independent New Zealand gambling review website. For privacy matters, contact us at [email protected].

- Information collected automatically: IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring site and similar analytics data, gathered via cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).
We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and we do not collect gambling account credentials or payment card details.

- To meet legal obligations
We rely on your consent and our legitimate interest in running the site. You can withdraw consent (e.g. for non-essential cookies) at any time.
4. Cookies & analytics
We use cookies and third-party analytics (for example, privacy-respecting website analytics) to understand traffic and improve the site. Affiliate links may set cookies to attribute referrals. You can control cookies in your browser — see our Cookie Policy for details.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with trusted service providers (such as hosting and analytics) who process it on our behalf under confidentiality obligations, or where required by law. Some providers may be located overseas; where they are, we take reasonable steps to ensure comparable privacy safeguards, consistent with the Privacy Act 2020.
6. Storage & security
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your data and retain it only as long as necessary for the purposes above.
