All written content, design elements, graphics, logos, and other materials displayed on chickenroads-au.com are protected by copyright and related intellectual property laws. The rights to this material belong to the operators of chickenroads-au.com or to third parties that have granted the necessary permissions.

Users are not allowed to copy, reproduce, adapt, translate, distribute, transmit, display, publish, or create derivative works from any part of the site content without prior written consent from the rights holder. This includes automated copying or scraping of reviews, ratings, or other editorial material.

Some images, logos, or brand names appearing on the site may be the property of game providers, software companies, or other third parties. These are used for identification and informational purposes only, and all such rights remain with their respective owners. Where required, attribution is provided or usage is based on licences or fair dealing exceptions under Australian law.

Any person or organisation that believes material on chickenroads-au.com infringes their copyright or other intellectual property rights is requested to contact the site operators through the available contact channels, providing sufficient detail to identify the material and the basis of the claim.

chickenroads-au.com is a game review and information platform and does not provide real-money gambling services. However, some of the sites reviewed or mentioned may offer wagering products intended for adults only. Users are encouraged to gamble responsibly and to comply with the gambling laws and regulations in their state or territory in Australia.

The platform supports harm-minimisation principles by providing neutral, informational content and by avoiding any guarantee of outcomes or winning strategies. Users who feel that gambling may be causing harm are encouraged to seek support from recognised Australian services such as Gambling Help Online or local counselling providers. Accessing external gambling sites is the user’s own decision, and any engagement with those services should take place in line with their responsible gambling tools and policies.

Users of chickenroads-au.com have a range of rights in relation to their personal data, subject to applicable law and certain limitations. These rights aim to give users control over how information is collected and used.

Subject to verification of identity, users may:

• Access personal data: Request confirmation of whether personal data is held and receive a copy of that data, where reasonable and lawful.
• Correct personal data: Ask for inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information to be rectified.
• Delete personal data: Request deletion of personal data where it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, where consent has been withdrawn and no other lawful basis applies, or where deletion is required by law.
• Limit processing: Request that the use of personal data is restricted in certain circumstances, such as while accuracy is being checked or an objection is being considered.
• Object to certain uses: Object to the use of personal data for direct marketing or for processing based on legitimate interests where the user believes their rights override those interests.
• Withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
• Data portability (where applicable): Request a copy of certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format where required by relevant law.

Requests to exercise these rights can be made through the contact options provided on the site. Some requests may be subject to legal obligations that require retention of certain records, or to technical limitations. Responses will be provided within a reasonable time frame and in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and, where relevant, GDPR requirements.

The content of this Privacy Policy may be reviewed and updated from time to time to reflect changes in legal requirements, regulatory guidance, technical developments, or the way chickenroads-au.com operates. Any revised version will be published on this page and will include an updated date or version indicator.

The Privacy Policy in force at the time of use of the site applies to that use. By accessing or continuing to use chickenroads-au.com after changes to the Privacy Policy are published, the user is taken to have accepted the updated Policy to the extent permitted by law. In contexts where a more formal acceptance is required, such as a signed acknowledgement or tick-box acceptance, that act of acceptance will indicate agreement to the then-current version of this Privacy Policy.
