Astral Restaurant is a member of the TABCORP group of companies.

The following statement sets out Astral Restaurant's policy relating to the collection, storage and use of personal information. Our purpose is to assure anyone who does business with us that Astral Restaurant will comply with both the letter and spirit of the Privacy Act 1988.

1. Compliance with Privacy Legislation

Astral Restaurant takes seriously its obligation to safeguard personal information about its customers. This policy formalises and strengthens this commitment to our customers. Astral Restaurant complies with the National Privacy Principles (NPPs) in the Privacy Act 1988.

2. Collection of Personal Information

Personal information is generally defined as information or an opinion that can identify a person. The type of personal information that Astral Restaurant may collect from you will depend upon what dealings you may have with Astral Restaurant.

3. Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

In general, our policy is that we only use or disclose personal information for the purpose which was either specified or reasonably apparent at the time we collected it. We may also use or disclose it for any other related purpose for which you would reasonably expect it to be used.

If Astral Restaurant wishes to use or disclose the personal information in other circumstances it will obtain your consent to do so, other than in exceptional circumstances such as:

where Astral Restaurant reasonably believes it is necessary to protect any person and/or Astral Restaurant's rights or property; or

the use or disclosure is authorised or required by law or is reasonably necessary to enforce or comply with the law (for example, if Astral Restaurant is required to disclose the information to regulatory authorities or in response to subpoenas or warrants).

4. Sharing information with other organisations

Astral Restaurant will not sell your personal information to other companies. The only circumstances in which external organisations may be given access to your personal information are when our contractors and service providers are helping us operate our business or provide a service to you (for example, a company which helps maintain our computer systems or sends out our mail). We require these organisations to agree to our Privacy Policy and to strict conditions governing how this information may be used.

5. Marketing

Astral Restaurant will send advertising mail to you:

where the advertising mail is related to the purpose for which the information was collected, or

if it would be within an individual's reasonable expectations to receive such mail, unless you have indicated you do not want to receive such mail.

If you no longer wish to receive promotional information from Astral Restaurant please advise the Guest Feedback Coordinator. You will need to allow us 30 days to amend our records.

9. Changing Information

If you wish to change personal information that is inaccurate or out-of-date, you may write to the Guest Feedback Coordinator at Astral Restaurant and the record will be changed.

10. Anonymous Transactions
