This Privacy Policy explains how martin7.com handles information about visitors located in New Zealand and the European Union. It is written to align with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and to give clear assurance that the site does not track or profile its users.

The website is owned and operated as an informational resource and is not a gambling platform. Content may occasionally refer to pokies, casinos, or gaming as general information, but the site does not offer wagering services or real-money play.

Data Controller

For the purposes of GDPR, the data controller for martin7.com is the operator of the website.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact:

• Email: [email protected]

All privacy-related enquiries are managed through this address.

Scope and Purpose of the Website

martin7.com is an informational website. Its purpose is to provide general content that may include references to gaming culture, casinos, or pokies as they are discussed in New Zealand and the EU, without offering gambling products or services.

The site is designed to be viewed without requiring registration, logins, or any form of user account. You can browse the content without sharing personal information.

No Collection of Personal Data

No user accounts or profiles

The website does not provide user accounts, membership areas, or personal profiles. Visitors cannot register or log in, and the site owner does not create profiles of individual users.

No contact forms or direct submissions

There are no contact forms, comment sections, chat features, or other interactive tools that would allow visitors to submit personal data directly on the site.

If you choose to send an email to [email protected], any information you voluntarily include in that email will be processed only for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. Email correspondence is handled using standard email services and is not linked to behaviour tracking on the site.

No behavioural tracking

The website does not monitor individual browsing patterns, does not build behavioural profiles, and does not make automated decisions based on user activity. Content is the same for all visitors, regardless of location, device, or browsing history.

No Cookies or Similar Technologies

No analytics cookies

martin7.com does not use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Matomo, or similar services. No analytics cookies or identifiers are created or stored on your device.

No session or login cookies

Because the website does not offer accounts or logins, no session cookies are used to maintain authentication or user-specific preferences.

No advertising or tracking cookies

The site does not serve targeted advertising and does not use third-party tracking cookies. Your visit is not linked to advertising networks, affiliate tracking, or retargeting tools.

No local storage or device fingerprinting

The website does not use browser local storage, device fingerprinting techniques, or other methods designed to recognise returning visitors.

No Third-Party Embedded Content

No external media

The site does not embed videos, audio players, social media widgets, or other external content such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok content. This means those providers cannot set cookies or track you through embedded elements on martin7.com.

No external maps, fonts, or scripts

The site does not use Google Maps, external web fonts services, or third-party JavaScript libraries that collect data. Content is served in a way that avoids sharing technical information with external analytics or marketing platforms.

No external gambling or betting integrations

Although martin7.com may discuss pokies, casinos, or gambling-related topics in an informational way, it does not integrate with online casino platforms, betting services, or affiliate interfaces that would track or identify you.

Legal Basis Under GDPR

No personal data processing in normal use

Under normal use of the site, no personal data is collected or processed. As a result, many GDPR obligations, such as consent for cookies or profiling, do not apply.

Email contact as voluntary data

If you contact the site via email, the legal basis for processing any personal data you include in your message is the performance of a contract or steps taken at your request, or the legitimate interest in responding to enquiries.

Email information is used only to manage and respond to your message, and is not used for marketing, profiling, or disclosure to third parties, unless required by law.

Data Retention

Website browsing

Because no personal data is collected during normal browsing, there is no personal browsing data to retain or delete.

Email correspondence

Emails sent to [email protected] may be stored for the time necessary to manage communication and maintain a record of correspondence. The operator may delete emails periodically as part of routine administration.

If you are based in New Zealand or the EU and wish to request deletion of prior email correspondence that contains your personal information, you can contact the site using the same email address.

Your Rights Under GDPR

Even though martin7.com does not actively collect personal data during regular browsing, GDPR rights still apply to any personal information you may provide via email.

If you are in the EU and you have provided personal data through email communication, you may request:

• Access to the personal data held about you
• Correction of inaccurate information
• Deletion of your personal data where legal grounds permit
• Restriction of processing in certain circumstances
• Objection to processing based on legitimate interests

Requests can be sent to [email protected]. The operator will evaluate each request in line with GDPR and other applicable laws.

New Zealand Context and Local Considerations

Although this Privacy Policy is written primarily around GDPR obligations for EU users, the site recognises that privacy expectations in New Zealand are shaped by local law and practice.

New Zealand visitors can expect that:

• The site does not operate as a casino, betting platform, or real-money pokies venue.
• The site does not collect personal data for marketing or gambling-related purposes.
• Any privacy concerns can be raised by email and will be treated seriously and professionally.

References to New Zealand gambling culture, such as pokies in pubs, clubs, or casinos, are informational only. The site does not encourage illegal or harmful behaviour and does not maintain data that could be used to profile specific players.

Security Measures

The operator takes reasonable steps to protect any limited information received by email from unauthorised access or disclosure. These measures are proportionate to the low level of personal data processing carried out.

Because the website does not host user accounts, does not process payments, and does not collect personal identifiers during browsing, the overall risk to visitors is low. Basic technical safeguards and access controls are used to maintain integrity of email communication and website content.

Transfers of Data

The website does not collect personal data during browsing, and therefore no browsing data is transferred to other countries or organisations.

If you contact the site by email, the email service used may store data on servers located within or outside the EU or New Zealand, depending on the provider. Standard contractual and technical protections offered by the email provider apply to that storage. The site does not actively share your email content with third parties unless required by law or necessary to respond to your request.

Children’s Privacy

The site is aimed at adult users seeking general information. It does not target children, does not offer games or interactive content aimed at minors, and does not collect age data or other information about children.

Parents and guardians in New Zealand and the EU can be assured that normal browsing on martin7.com does not involve data collection about their children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

The content and scope of this Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in the website, technical infrastructure, or legal obligations in New Zealand or the EU.

Any changes will be published on this page. Continued use of the website after updates indicates that you have read and understood the revised Policy.

Contact Information

For questions, concerns, or requests related to privacy, GDPR, or data handling, you may contact:

All enquiries are reviewed with a professional and neutral approach, with an emphasis on clarity and legal compliance for users in both New Zealand and the European Union.
