The kinds of personal information we may collect, hold and use about you include:

HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

If it is reasonable and practical to do so, we collect your personal information directly from you, including when you:

We may have photographers present at our venues during weekends or large events, who may take photos and share them on our social media pages for marketing purposes. We will only do this to the extent that is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities. If a photo captures sensitive information about you, we will ask for your consent before taking them.

We may also collect your personal information from someone other than you, for example from:

PURPOSES FOR WHICH PERSONAL INFORMATION IS USED

We may also use or disclose your personal information for another purpose related to the primary purposes set out above.

You are under no obligation to provide your personal information to us. However, without certain information from you, we may not be able to provide services or information to you or may be limited in how we can interact with you.

PURPOSES FOR WHICH PERSONAL INFORMATION IS USED

We may disclose your personal information to any of our employees, officers and agents to enable them to provide services to us and our customers. We may also disclose your personal information to certain third parties insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy, including:

We may also from time to time need to disclose personal information to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request.

​If there is a change of control in our business or a sale or transfer of business assets, we reserve the right to transfer to the extent permissible at law our user databases, together with any personal information and non-personal information contained in those databases. This information may be disclosed to a potential purchaser under an agreement to maintain confidentiality. We would seek to only disclose information in good faith and where required by any of the above circumstances.

Where we disclose your personal information to third parties, we will request that the third parties follow this Policy regarding handling your personal information.

TRANSFER OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OUTSIDE OF AUSTRALIA

There may be instances where we will need to disclose your personal information to recipients that are located outside of Australia.

Any overseas disclosures will only be made once we have taken all reasonable steps to ensure any personal information will be treated at least in accordance with the Privacy Act and other applicable privacy laws.

This may include (but not limited to) taking steps to ensure that contractual arrangements with overseas recipients include obligations on those recipients to:

DIRECT MARKETING

In addition to the purposes outlined above, we may use and disclose your personal information for marketing purposes. We use a number of direct marketing strategies and channels including email, telephone, SMS, social media, to provide you with information about our venues or services that maybe of interest to you. If you do not wish to receive such communications, you can opt-out at any time by contacting us via the contact details set out in this privacy policy or through the opt-out mechanism contained in a marketing communication to you.

DATA RETENTION AND DISPOSAL

Except as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law or regulatory requirements (in particular, data retention periods), we will take reasonable steps to retain your personal information only for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the personal information was collected.

We will also retain and use your personal information for as long as necessary to resolve disputes and/or enforce our rights and agreements.

Outside of reasonable retention and other legal requirements, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify personal information where it is no longer necessary to be retained.

Non-personally identifiable and aggregated information may be stored indefinitely.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We are committed to ensuring that the information you provide to us is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure information and protect it from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

The transmission and exchange of information is carried out at your own risk. We cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to us or receive from us. Although we take measures to safeguard against unauthorised disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personal information that we collect will not be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.
