It applies to all individuals who access or use our review and information services, including website visitors and users who contact us via the contact details provided. This Privacy Policy does not replace or modify the privacy policy of House Of Fun or its operator, Playtika Ltd., which apply to the House Of Fun product itself. Effective date: 1 January 2026.

The House Of Fun game and associated services are owned and operated by:

Corporate headquarters: Ha-Khoshlim St 8, Herzliya, Israel

Our review site, House Of Fun, uses publicly available information and official resources, including:

https://houseoffun.com - official product site
https://playtika.com/terms-service - operator terms of service

What Personal Data We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with House Of Fun and with houseoffun-au.com. We generally collect and process the following categories of data:

Content of communications: information you include in support requests, feedback, or other communications with us.

Technical and Device Data

Device information: type of device, operating system, browser type and version, language settings, screen resolution.
Usage and log data: IP address, access dates and times, pages viewed, referring/exit URLs, clickstream and interaction data, error logs.
Approximate location: inferred from IP address (e.g., country or region such as Australia), where allowed by law.

Cookie and Tracking Data

Cookies and similar technologies: small files stored on your device to enable core functionality, remember preferences, and perform analytics and marketing (see "Cookies & Tracking Technologies" below for details).

Payment and Financial Data

House Of Fun does not process payments from users and does not collect payment card or banking details directly. The House Of Fun product is a social casino / free-to-play game with in-app purchases, and any payments are processed via third-party platforms (for example, app stores or payment providers) under their own terms and privacy policies. We may, however, receive aggregated or anonymised financial and performance data from advertising or affiliate partners (such as number of purchases or revenue generated) that do not identify you personally.

Data from Third Parties

Analytics and marketing partners: pseudonymous identifiers, audience segments, and aggregated usage statistics.
Affiliates and advertising networks: information about clicks, conversions, and attribution data associated with campaigns relating to House Of Fun or similar content.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal information only when we have a valid legal basis to do so under applicable law, including the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and, where relevant, equivalent international standards such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Economic Area. Depending on the context, our legal bases include:

Direct marketing communications: if we send you promotional emails or newsletters, we do so with your prior consent, and you may withdraw this consent at any time.
Voluntary submissions: when you choose to provide optional information (such as detailed feedback), you consent to our use of that information for the purposes described at the time of collection and in this Policy.

Performance of a Contract or Taking Steps at Your Request

Responding to your inquiries: when you email us, we process your contact details and message in order to respond to your request.
Providing access to our online services: ensuring the website functions correctly, loads quickly, and is available to you as expected.

Service Providers and Technical Partners

Hosting and infrastructure providers: companies that host our servers, databases, and content delivery networks.
Analytics and performance providers: third-party analytics services that help us understand how the site is used (for example, aggregated usage statistics and performance metrics).
Security and monitoring providers: vendors that assist in monitoring, detecting, and preventing security incidents, fraud, or technical issues.

Payment and Monetisation Partners

House Of Fun itself does not collect or process your payment data. Nevertheless, we may work with advertising, affiliate, or monetisation partners who:

Track clicks, referrals, and conversions from houseoffun-au.com to third-party services (such as app stores or the House Of Fun product).
Provide us with aggregated reports on performance, revenue, or engagement that do not identify you directly.

Affiliates, Advertising Networks, and Business Partners

Affiliate networks and advertisers: where we participate in affiliate or advertising programs, we may allow third-party tags or cookies (subject to your consent where required) to measure the effectiveness of campaigns and provide personalised or contextual advertising.
Corporate affiliates: where relevant, with our corporate affiliates or successors in interest (for example, in the event of reorganisation, merger, or sale of assets), subject to continued protection of your personal information.

Regulatory and supervisory authorities: including, where applicable, Australian authorities responsible for privacy, consumer protection, and social/interactive gaming oversight, if we are required to disclose information pursuant to law or regulatory request.
Law enforcement and courts: when necessary to comply with a legal obligation, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or those of our users or others.

With Your Consent

In addition to the above, we may share your information with third parties where you have explicitly requested or consented to such sharing. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time, but this will not affect processing that has already taken place.

International Transfers

House Of Fun is aimed at users in Australia, but some of our service providers, partners, or the operator of the House Of Fun product (Playtika Ltd.) may be located in other countries or may process data in multiple jurisdictions.

Locations of processing: personal information may be processed in Australia, Israel (where Playtika Ltd. is headquartered), the European Union/European Economic Area, the United States, and other jurisdictions where our technical or analytical partners operate data centres.
Transfer safeguards: where we transfer personal information outside of your country or region, we take appropriate measures to protect it, which may include:
- Ensuring the recipient country is recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection (where applicable under relevant law).
- Entering into written agreements incorporating standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards recognised by applicable data protection laws.
- Requiring recipients to implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures consistent with this Privacy Policy.
Access limitations: access to transferred data is limited to authorised personnel and service providers who need it to perform their functions and are bound by confidentiality obligations.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (for example, for tax, accounting, or legal compliance purposes). We apply the following general criteria:

Contact and communication data: emails and correspondence with you are normally retained for up to 3 years after our last interaction, or longer where necessary to resolve disputes or respond to legal claims.
Technical, log, and security data: server logs, security logs, and related technical records are typically kept for between 6 and 24 months, depending on their purpose and relevance for security, troubleshooting, or analytics.
Analytics and behavioural data: pseudonymous analytics data may be kept for up to 3 years in aggregated or de-identified form to analyse trends and improve our services.
Cookie-related data: stored according to the lifespan of the specific cookie (see "Cookies & Tracking Technologies"), generally ranging from session-only to up to 24 months, unless you delete them earlier via your browser or settings.
Legal and compliance records: where we are required to retain information to comply with legal obligations or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, we will do so for the period specified by the relevant laws or limitation periods (which may be up to 7 years or more, depending on the jurisdiction and context).

When the relevant retention period expires, or when the information is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected, we will take reasonable steps to delete, anonymise, or de-identify the data in a secure manner, unless continued retention is required by law.

Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have a number of rights concerning your personal information. We aim to align our practices with internationally recognised standards such as the EU GDPR, and where relevant, key elements of other regional regimes. While this privacy policy is primarily tailored to Australian users, we also provide protections that are broadly comparable to those found in modern data protection frameworks.

Key Rights

Right of access: you can request confirmation as to whether we process your personal information and obtain a copy of that information, along with certain details about how we use it.
Right to rectification: you may request that we correct or update inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated personal information about you.
Right to erasure (right to be forgotten): you may request deletion of your personal information where, for example, it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or where you have withdrawn consent (if consent was the legal basis) and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for retention.
Right to restriction of processing: you may request that we restrict the processing of your information in certain circumstances, such as while we verify its accuracy or where you have objected to our use of it.
Right to object: you can object to certain types of processing, including where we rely on legitimate interests. You always have the right to object to direct marketing, and we will promptly stop this type of processing.
Right to data portability: where technically feasible and required by law, you can request that we provide certain information you have supplied to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or that we transfer it directly to another controller.
Right to withdraw consent: where our processing is based on your consent (for example, certain marketing or non-essential cookies), you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent prior to its withdrawal.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Submit a request: contact us by email at [email protected] and clearly describe:
- which right(s) you wish to exercise; and
- details helping us identify you and locate your data (for example, relevant email address, approximate dates, or context of your interaction with houseoffun-au.com).
Verification: to protect your privacy, we may ask you to provide reasonable information to verify your identity before we act on your request.
Response time: we will respond to your request as soon as practicable and, in any event, within 30 days of receipt, unless a shorter or longer period is permitted or required by law. If we need more time due to complexity or volume, we will notify you and explain the reasons.
Fees: we will not charge you for making a request or exercising your rights, unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive. In such cases, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act, in line with applicable law.

Please note that these rights may be subject to limitations or exceptions under applicable laws, for example where fulfilling your request would adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others, conflict with legal obligations, or impair ongoing investigations or legal proceedings.
