What We Mean by “Personal Information”
At JackBitGames.com, “Personal Information” refers to any data or combination of data that can reasonably be used to identify an individual — either directly (on its own) or indirectly (when combined with other information). This definition aligns with both Australian legal standards under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and globally recognised frameworks like the GDPR.
Understanding what counts as Personal Information is key to knowing:
- What data you’re sharing (knowingly or unknowingly)
- How it’s protected
- What rights you have in relation to that data
We divide the concept of Personal Information into several categories, based on how the data is collected, processed, and stored.
What We Do Not Collect or Store
To protect your privacy, we intentionally avoid collecting or storing any information considered “sensitive personal data” or data which could present a security or ethical risk.
We do NOT collect:
- Government-issued IDs (e.g. Medicare number, driver’s licence, passport)
- Bank account details or credit card numbers
- Biometric data (e.g. facial recognition, voiceprint, fingerprint)
- Health records or disability status
- Religious beliefs, political opinions, or sexual orientation
- Criminal history or background checks
We have no need for this information, and our systems are not built to handle or store such high-risk data.
Data Minimisation and Anonymisation
We believe in the principle of data minimisation — collecting only the information absolutely necessary to deliver the best user experience. When possible, we also practise anonymisation and pseudonymisation, meaning:
- Removing IP addresses from long-term storage
- Replacing email addresses with hashed tokens in analytics systems
- Aggregating user behaviour data (e.g., “200 users clicked this bonus” instead of logging individual actions)
This helps protect your identity while still allowing us to improve our services.

Device Data | Browser type, OS, screen size, plugins | UX design and site compatibility |

Activity Data | Pages visited, clicks, time on site | Content performance analytics |
Referral Data | Referrer URL, campaign source, keyword searches | Marketing attribution and tracking |
Submission Data | Form messages, survey responses, reviews | Content feedback and community building |
Legal Basis for Data Collection

- Consent: You voluntarily provide information via forms, checkboxes, or opt-ins.
- Legitimate Interest: We need to maintain site performance, security, and relevance.
