Privacy Policy

Sorteeouro respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you interact with our restaurant, card lounge, and website.

The policy applies to all personal information collected through our website, reservation system, in-person interactions, and private event bookings. We do not engage in online gambling or wagering; our card lounge is exclusively for offline, social poker experiences.

Effective date: 3 September 2026

Information We Collect

Reservation and Contact Information

When you make a reservation or contact us, we collect your name, email address, phone number, and any preferences you share, such as dining restrictions or seating requests. This information is used to manage your booking and communicate with you about your visit. We may also collect your postal address if you request a brochure or event information.

Card Lounge Participation Details

If you participate in our offline poker nights or card lounge activities, we may record your name, contact details, and attendance history to manage table assignments and ensure a balanced social experience. We do not collect any financial information or details related to wagering. Poker chips are used solely as physical table accessories for gameplay.

Website Usage Data

When you browse our website, we automatically collect technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited. This helps us improve site performance and user experience. This data is aggregated and does not directly identify you unless combined with other information. We use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy.

How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to provide and improve our services, including managing reservations, organizing card lounge events, responding to inquiries, and sending you updates if you have opted in.

  • To process and confirm your dining or poker night reservations.
  • To personalize your experience based on preferences.
  • To send administrative communications about your bookings.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may disclose your information only in the following circumstances: to service providers who assist us in operating our business (e.g., reservation platform, email service), when required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of our guests and staff.

  • Service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the services they provide.
  • We may disclose information if required by Australian law or a court order.
  • In the event of a business transfer, your information may be part of the transferred assets, but you will be notified.

Data Security and Retention

Security Measures

We implement reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. Our website uses encryption for data transmission, and access to personal information is restricted to authorized personnel. Data is stored on secure servers with restricted access. Staff are trained on privacy obligations. Regular security assessments are conducted.

Retention Period

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. Reservation records are typically kept for 12 months, while card lounge attendance records may be kept for up to 3 years for operational analysis. After the retention period, information is securely deleted or anonymized. You may request earlier deletion as described in the Access and Correction section.
