Privacy Policy

Your data matters to us. Read about how MidnightKiwi handles and safeguards your personal information.

Introduction

At MidnightKiwi ("we," "us," or "our"), safeguarding your personal data is a core priority. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we gather when you visit our website at midnightkiwi.com, how that data is handled, and the choices available to you regarding your information. By accessing or using our free social gaming platform, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this policy.

MidnightKiwi operates exclusively as a social entertainment platform. We do not facilitate real-money gambling of any kind. Our services are designed purely for recreational enjoyment, and our data practices reflect this commitment to a safe, transparent, and enjoyable user experience.

This policy was most recently revised on 1 January 2026. We encourage you to check back periodically, as we may update this document to reflect changes in our operations or applicable regulations.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

MidnightKiwi uses cookies — small data files stored on your device — to facilitate essential platform functionality and gather anonymized usage analytics. Cookies help us remember your preferences, maintain session security, and understand aggregate trends in how visitors use our site.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time. Disabling certain cookies may impact the functionality of some features. For a comprehensive breakdown of the cookies we use and their purposes, please refer to our dedicated Cookie Policy.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We are committed to keeping your data confidential. However, there are limited situations where sharing may occur:

  • Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party vendors who assist us with hosting, analytics, email delivery, and customer support. These providers are contractually bound to use your data only for the purposes we specify and are required to maintain appropriate security measures.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, regulation, court order, or governmental authority.
  • Protection of Rights: We may share data when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of MidnightKiwi, our users, or the general public.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, user data may be transferred as part of the transaction. We would notify affected users before any such transfer.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy, or as required by applicable law. When your data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it so that it cannot be associated with you.

If you close your MidnightKiwi account, we will remove your personal data from our active databases within a reasonable timeframe. Some residual information may remain in encrypted backups for a limited period, after which it will be permanently purged.
