Privacy Policy

Ettalong Memorial Bowling Club Ltd ABN 85 001 030 780 (the Club) and our related entities appreciate that privacy is very important to people. The Club has adopted this Privacy Policy as we recognise the right of our members and guests to keep their personal information private.

This Privacy Policy covers the Club’s treatment of personally identifiable information that we collect or hold. Like many other organisations, the Club must comply with the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act when dealing with personal information.

Collecting Personal Information

The Club will collect information about you, such as your name, address, contact details and other Clubs you belong to when you apply for membership to the Club. This is a requirement under the Corporations and/or Registered Clubs Acts. We may also collect this and other types of personal information, such as your membership number, during the course of dealing with you, for example over the telephone when you wish to obtain goods or services from the Club and when you participate in contests and promotions or return feedback forms.

In the interests of security and safety, and the comfort of members and guests, the Club also operates video cameras within the Club premises and may collect personal information in the course of investigating complaints or pursuing disciplinary proceedings.

Where practicable, the purpose for which we collect personal information will be made clear at the time of collection. If you do not provide us with certain information we may be unable to accept an application for membership or provide you with access to our services.
