All personal information that we gather is collected in a fair and non-intrusive manner, with your consent, in order to be able to meet any orders, provide our services and/or provide any assistance you have requested.
Personal information means information or an opinion about you from which your identity is apparent or can reasonably be ascertained. This is whether the information or opinion is true or not and whether it is recorded in material format or not.
We will only collect personal information from you that is necessary for us to be able to meet any orders, provide our services and/or provide any assistance you have requested. We will seek to ensure that we do not collect information from you in any way that is unlawful or unreasonably intrusive.
The personal information that we may collect from you and hold (“Information”) may include information such as your first and last names, address, telephone and mobile number(s), mac addresses, email address and credit card details (if you are making an online payment).
In respect of your credit card details we only hold some information and this is only where you have directed us to take a payment from such credit card. In respect to situations when you make an application to become a franchisee or an employee we also may collect some sensitive information from you for the purposes of assessing your suitability (to which you have consented).
If you respond voluntarily to our surveys or other interactive communications, we collect the responses and use the information to improve the quality and range of our own and/or our supplier’s products and services, or for the purposes of meeting any Frequent Diners Card program or Meat Your Match Challenge terms and/or competition terms you have first agreed to.
We do not collect information about your political, philosophical, religious beliefs or sexual preferences. Whenever it is reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect that information directly from you, however, you acknowledge and consent to us receiving information from our suppliers, franchisees, and/or entities we sponsor. In such instances we will encourage such parties to act in accordance with the principals set out in this policy. If we otherwise have to collect personal information about you from someone else, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are aware of that fact.
We will seek consent for the use of your personal information at the time of collection. In certain circumstances, consent may be sought after the information has been collected but before use (for example when we want to use information for a use not previously identified). The form of consent we seek, whether it is express or implied, will depend on the sensitivity of the information and the reasonable expectations of the individual in the circumstances. You may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal and contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. If you wish to withdraw consent, please contact our Privacy Officer in the manner described below.
We will inform you of the implications of withdrawing consent at or before the time of withdrawal.
We use your Information for the purpose for which it was provided to us, other related purposes and as permitted or required by law. Such purposes include, but are not limited to, the following:

Where appropriate, we and our franchisees may share your Information between ourselves, our related entities and with other third parties, including:
Some of our related entities and/or third party service providers are located in countries outside of Australia (including but not limited to United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Thailand).
Our contracts with these parties generally include an obligation for them to comply with Australian privacy law and this policy. We will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure transferred information is kept secure as required by applicable data privacy laws. However, you acknowledge that, by agreeing to the disclosure of your Information to these entities outside of Australia, we will no longer be required to take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient’s compliance with the Australian privacy law in relation to your Information and we will not be liable to you for any breach of the Australian privacy law by these overseas recipients and, on this basis, you consent to such transfer, processing, storage and/or disclosure.
We do not sell personal information to third parties. However, with your permission, we will on occasion send marketing information on behalf of one of our business partners and/or sponsored entities about products or services they provide that may be of interest to you.
You may be asked if you wish to receive marketing materials from these parties. If you elect to receive such materials, we will not share your personal information with these parties, but rather will send a mailing or e-mail on behalf of these parties.
We reserve the right to use or disclose any information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, to protect the integrity of the site, to fulfil your requests, or to cooperate in any law enforcement investigation or an investigation on a matter of public safety.
We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information held by us about you is accurate, complete and up to date. To assist us, we ask that you notify us promptly if there are any changes to your personal information. You may ask us to correct any inaccurate information we hold about you and we will address your concerns within a reasonable period.
We will take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, unauthorized modification and/or unauthorized disclosure.
However, constant changes to the Internet and technology means that we cannot guarantee that data transmission will be 100% secure or safe from attack from unauthorised intruders and no data protection or security measure is completely secure, particularly in relation to online transmissions.
You must take care to ensure you protect your Information (for example, by protecting your usernames and passwords) and you must notify us as soon as possible after you become aware of any security breaches. Your personal information, where not stored electronically, is stored in our secure office premises with restricted access or with an offsite secure storage facility.
If we no longer require the use of your personal information, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify it.
We will provide you with access to your personal information upon request. We will endeavour to provide the information to you in a timely manner. You may be charged a fee for servicing your request which we will advise you at the time. There is no fee for lodging a request for access.
There may be circumstances in which we cannot provide you with access; for example, where this is required or authorised under the law, would have an unreasonable impact upon the privacy of other individuals or the request for access is frivolous or vexatious. We will advise you of the reasons if we deny you access.
If you need to update your personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer in the manner described below.
