ALH Group Pty Limited ACN 098 212 134 and its subsidiaries (together, 'ALH Group', 'we', 'us' or 'our') respects your personal information and this Privacy Policy sets out the principles that we will follow in the management of your personal information collected. Personal information is generally defined as information or an opinion that can identify you personally. ALH Group has policies and procedures to ensure that all personal information, no matter how or where it is obtained, is handled sensitively, securely and in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.
This Privacy Policy explains:
Please note the Australian Privacy Principles do not apply to employee records. As a result, this statement does not apply to ALH Group's treatment of employee records where the treatment is directly related to a current or former employment relationship between ALH Group and an employee.
ALH Group is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals' personal information and is bound by the Australian Privacy Principals set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth) (“the Act”). We will only collect, use or disclose personal information in accordance with the Act and our Privacy Policy.
We will collect personal information from you directly and from your use of our products and services (including attendance at venues). We may collect information about you from others, such as our related bodies corporate or third party service providers or contractors. We may also collect information about you that is publically available, for example from media publications, social media, and the internet or made available by third parties.
ALH Group only collects and uses personal information that we consider necessary or desirable for us to carry out our many business functions or activities, including, without limitation, so we can:
If you are applying for employment or to become a contractor of ALH Group, ALH may collect personal information to assist in any assessment of your application and (if successful) engage you.
Indentifying details such as your name and address will only be collected and used where we consider we have a business reason to do so, such as providing products and services to you or a legal requirement.
We may also collect information about you because we are required to do so by law. There are laws that affect the gaming and liquor industry, such as Commonwealth Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing legislation, which require certain personal information to be collected and used primarily to verify your identity.
In certain circumstances, if you do not provide us with your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with the products or services you want or let you know about other products or services from us or our related bodies corporate that you may be interested in.
ALH Group offers a diverse array of hospitality experiences including bistros, restaurants, sports bars, electronic gaming, accommodation and nightclubs, therefore the purpose and type of personal information which we may collect from you will vary depending upon the relationship you may have with us. For example, we may require certain information about you should you apply for employment, which is different from the information you supply if you are entering a competition or joining a loyalty program.
The most common situations where we may collect personal information from you include entry conditions, gaming procedures and regulations, loyalty programs, marketing and promotions, accommodation bookings, employment applications, social media and situations where the law requires.
The most common types of personal information we may collect include:
We may also collect and use copies of documents to confirm your personal information. Typically this will relate to your identity as verified by a drivers licence or passport.
ALH Group will only use or disclose personal information for the purpose which was either specified or reasonably apparent at the time of collection. We may also use or disclose it for other related purposes for which you would reasonably expect it to be used.
ALH Group does not generally disclose personal information to third parties except:
Should third parties be given access to personal information, ALH Group requires that our contractors and agents are obliged to keep that personal information confidential and not to use or disclose it for any purpose other than performing services or providing products for us or on our behalf.
You consent to us disclosing your personal information to third parties as per the above. You can withdraw such consent at any time by informing us in writing that you withdraw your consent.
In certain circumstances, if you do withdraw such consent, we may not be able to provide you with the products or services you want or let you know about other products or services from us or our related bodies corporate that you may be interested in.
Generally, ALH Group uses systems located within Australia. However, from time to time we may send your information overseas to service or product providers or other third parties who operate or hold data outside Australia or its external territories. Where we do this, the overseas recipients are likely to be located in India and we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate data handling and security arrangements are in place.
ALH may also provide some of your information to Google Analytics, Conversocial and MyGuestlist.
Given ALH Group offers a diverse array of hospitality experiences, we would like to inform you of our products and services or the products and services of our related bodies corporate from time to time. ALH Group may use your personal information that we collected from you to send marketing or promotional material about our food and beverage offers, entertainment and events, competitions and promotions or membership and loyalty programs or to enable our related bodies corporate to directly market their products and services to you.
We or our related bodies corporate may conduct these marketing activities via email, telephone, SMS, social media or other means.
If you no longer wish to receive the material, each time you are sent a marketing communication we will provide an easy opportunity for you to ‘opt-out’ or you may contact us and we will process your request as soon as practicable.

We may also store “cookie” information (such as user preferences relating to your use of our websites) on your computer. That information is used to customise and improve our websites, products and services.

Our employees are required to maintain the confidentiality of any personal information held by ALH Group.

For most requests, your information will be provided free of charge, however we may charge a reasonable fee if your request requires substantial effort on our part.
