• details of any laws that require or authorise the collection;
• the purposes of collection;
• the consequences if we do not collect the information;
• that this policy contains information about how you can access or correct your information or make a complaint about the Club; and

The way we notify you of the above is by making you aware of this policy. If you give us personal information about others, we expect that you will tell them about this policy.

You have the option of not identifying yourself or of using a pseudonym when dealing with us. However, this will be limited to enquiries of a very general nature and only over the telephone or by email.

If you have self-excluded yourself from the Club’s premises and nominated other clubs from which you also want to be excluded, we may disclose your personal information to those clubs to the extent necessary to assist those clubs to comply with your self-exclusion.
The Club may also use the personal information we collect from you for direct marketing of products and services to you including from third parties. Such products and services may include the provision of newsletters, competitions, announcements, campaigns or information about shows and entertainment at the Club or services offered by the Club.
You can refuse any direct marketing by contacting our Privacy Officer.

There may be times when we may need to disclose your personal information to third parties that we engage to provide services to or in connection with the Club, including our related entities, our insurers, ClubsNSW, our sponsors, our legal or financial advisers and other members of the Club.
Your personal information will only be disclosed to third parties for a purpose permitted by the Privacy Act and/or this policy and, where required, after obtaining your consent.
We may need to disclose your personal information to third parties for the purposes of allowing us to carry out the activities and functions mentioned in this policy.
For example, from time to time, the Club engages external companies to send direct marketing information (usually via email or SMS), carry out mail services and provide IT storage and other services.
Likewise, if you wish to make a reservation to dine at the Club via our website or app, you will be directed to a third party platform to book your table and confirm any dietary or other special requirements which you may have. The Club may retain information about your special requirements for future bookings.
A third party service provider will only receive your personal information from the Club where that information is necessary for that third party to provide services to or in connection with the Club and the Club will always require that the third party comply with the Privacy Act when dealing with your personal information.
We will also disclose your personal information to third parties if we are required or authorised to do so by law, including (but not limited to) law enforcement agencies, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, the Australian Electoral Commission, the Department of Family and Community Services and the Australian Taxation Office.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does this policy apply to the Club’s sub-clubs and its related entities?
The Club operates a number of sub-clubs that form part of the Club.
For the purposes of the Privacy Act, a sub-club’s collection, use, disclosure or storage of your personal information is the Club’s collection, use, disclosure or storage of your personal information.
If a sub-club (being part of the Club) collects, uses, discloses or stores your personal information, it will comply with this policy when doing so.
The Club may have one or more related entities, also known as “related bodies corporate”. These related entities are separate legal entities to the Club, but are related to the Club in some way (e.g. the Club owns the related entity, or the related entity owns the Club).
The Privacy Act permits related entities to share personal information in certain circumstances. If an entity related to the Club collects, uses, discloses or stores your personal information, it will comply with this policy when doing so (unless that entity has its own privacy policy).
Is there surveillance at the Club?
All venues operated by the Club are subject to video and audio surveillance for security reasons, including to monitor the safety of members, guests and employees and to protect the Club’s assets.
The footage and audio recordings may be used in disciplinary proceedings and/or to investigate incidents and may be disclosed to our legal representatives, our insurers and law enforcements agencies.
Do I have to use the electronic ID scanner to enter the Club’s premises?
No. You are not in obliged to scan your identification to enter the Club’s premises.
If you prefer, you can manually enter your name, address and signature (as required by the Registered Clubs Act) into the terminal and present your identification to staff who will confirm your details.
What information is collected from the electronic ID scanners?
The electronic scanners used by the Club may scan a full copy of your ID (which may include sensitive information).
Why does the Club use ID scanners?
Under the Registered Clubs Act, we are required to maintain a register of the name, address and signature of temporary members and guests over the age of 18 who enter the Club’s premises. This information must be retained by us for at least three years.
ID scanners are a secure way for the Club to collect information about persons entering the Club’s premises.
ID scanners are also environmentally friendly in that they have helped the Club reduce its paper usage and storage of certain hard copies.
The collection of personal and sensitive information of the individuals who choose to scan their identification is reasonably necessary for the activities and functions of the Club.
How do we hold and protect your personal information?
Personal information that is held by us is stored electronically and/or in hardcopy. We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is safe and secure from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. Information that we store electronically is held in secure and password protected databases. Video and audio surveillance is stored on our digital recorders which are maintained in a restricted access area and password protected. Your personal information is securely destroyed when it is no longer needed or when it is out of date.
What happens if my personal information is involved in a data breach?
The Club has various security measures in place to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. In the unlikely event that the Club’s security measures are compromised and your information is the subject of a notifiable data breach, the Club will comply with its obligations for responding to data breaches outlined in the Privacy Act.
Upon becoming aware of a data breach, the Club will take urgent steps to contain the breach, mitigate any risk of harm and determine who may have been affected.
The Club will then assess the breach, including any potential for harm, and determine whether the breach is likely to result in serious harm to any person whose data was involved. If the Club has reasonable grounds to believe that the breach is likely to result in serious harm to you, the Club will notify you of the breach as soon as possible. The Club will also notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Following a breach, the Club will conduct a review of its security measures and implement any additional measures it considers necessary to enhance the security of your information.
Are we likely to disclose personal information overseas?
It is unlikely that we will disclose your personal information overseas. However, if you agree to information being put on our websites or social media pages then this could be accessed by other countries. We occasionally use secure cloud servers. This involves the use of servers that may be located in other countries and may constitute a disclosure under the Privacy Act.
Why does the Club have an app and how does it work?
If you are a member of the Club, you have the option of downloading our app onto your mobile phone or other compatible device to use in the Club as part of our members rewards scheme.
Our app is linked to your membership account and allows you to purchase food and beverages in the Club using “My Money” credited to your account. You can use our app to view your “My Money” account balance, see how many points you have accrued and access receipts of any purchases you have made with the Club.
