Legal Bases for Processing
Canberralab.com processes personal data in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and, where applicable to international visitors, the UK GDPR and EU GDPR. The legal bases we rely upon include: consent (for cookies, newsletters, and marketing communications, which you may withdraw at any time); legitimate interests (for analytics, site security, and affiliate tracking, balanced against your rights); and legal obligation (where processing is required to comply with applicable law). Where we rely on legitimate interests, we conduct balancing assessments to ensure your privacy rights are not overridden.

Canberralab.com contains affiliate links to licensed casino operators and gambling platforms. When you click these links, you may be redirected to third-party websites governed by their own privacy policies. We receive a commission for qualifying referrals, which helps fund our independent review service. We also engage analytics providers such as Google Analytics, whose data collection is subject to their respective privacy terms. Canberralab.com does not sell your personal data to third parties, and our affiliate relationships do not influence the integrity of our editorial reviews.
