Privacy Policy

Strand Cinema Caloundra, is committed to ensuring your personal information is protected. Strand Cinema Caloundra understands and appreciates you are concerned about your privacy and about the confidentiality and security of information we may collect about you. Strand Cinema Caloundra is committed to preserving your privacy, and this Privacy Statement reflects our firm commitment to you. It sets out our policies in relation to the way we collect and handle personal information. We encourage you to check our privacy statement regularly as this Privacy Statement may change from time to time. 

HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT YOU 

We collect personal information from you in a variety of ways. For example, we may collect personal information from you by one of the following means: • competition entry forms 

• membership and subscription forms
• email or SMS 
• when you visit our website 
• online transactions
• where you have the option to comment on our services and/or products

INFORMATION PROVIDED BY YOU 

You provide most of the personal information directly to us and for a specific purpose. For example, we collect personal contact information (such as your name, address, email address and phone number) when you participate in contests, competitions or register onto our website. We may also collect personal information when you visit certain parts of our website and provide content, feedback or suggestions. You may also participate in interactive online activities such as games, chat or bulletin boards or by voting in polls. If you register onto our website, we may also collect information on your use of the site so that we can make our website as interesting as possible for you. We collect financial information (such as credit card information) from you in order to receive payment from you for products and services which you order.

SENSITIVE INFORMATION 

We do not collect any information about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions or membership, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade association or union membership, sexual preferences or criminal record, unless: 

• you have given us specific consent to do so, or
• where we are required by law to do so, or 
• it is necessary to prevent a serious and imminent threat to the life or health of a person, or
• it is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim. 

HOW WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT 

We use personal information primarily for the purpose for which it was collected. Because most of our information is collected from you directly, you will normally be aware of the purpose of the collection. For example, information may be collected from you so that we can fulfil prizes, offer discounts and process online transactions. 

USE OF THE INFORMATION FOR A SECONDARY PURPOSE 

We may sometimes use the personal information we collect for a secondary purpose, that is, for use in a way different from the original reason for collection. We will only do this in the following circumstances:

• where you have consented, 
• where the secondary purpose is directly related to the primary purpose, and you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information in such a way, or 
• where we are permitted or required by law, or it is in the interests of public safety to do so. For example, we may use your contact details for editorial and feedback purposes or to inform you of our products and services. We may also collect personal information so that we can provide information which is of interest to you. You are always given the opportunity to notify us that you do not wish to receive this material. 

DISCLOSURE OF THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We treat personal information which we collect from you in the same way that we treat our other confidential information. We will not sell to anyone, the information which we collect about you. We will not disclose to a third party, the information which we collect about you, except where it is necessary to conduct our business, and then only if the third party:

• first enters into appropriate confidentiality undertakings with us, or 
• has a privacy policy which is similar to ours. 

HOW WE PROTECT OUR INFORMATION COLLECTION 

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure the security of all personal information we collect. This involves protecting it from misuse and loss, as well as from modification and disclosure. The inherent nature of the Internet means that the security of any transmission of information to us using the Internet cannot be guaranteed. The electronic databases that hold information as well as our internal systems are designed to restrict access to only those people who require specific information. In addition, your personal information is only kept while it is required for the purpose for which it was collected or for a permitted secondary purpose. Strand Cinema Caloundra regularly deletes and de-identifies personal information if we no longer need the information. 

YOUR ABILITY TO ACCESS AND CORRECT INFORMATION 

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information which we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you wish to access the information we hold about you, you are welcome to contact us and we will respond to your request within 45 days. 

 CORRECTING INFORMATION 

You can also request that information about you be corrected or deleted. This is part of our commitment to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date. 

RIGHT TO REFUSE ACCESS OR CORRECTION 

We reserve our right to refuse your request for access or correction if, for example, we consider your request to be frivolous or vexatious, or if we are legally entitled to do so. If we refuse your request, we will give you our reasons. If we refuse your request to correct information we hold about you, we will give you the opportunity to post a statement of your claim where we hold your personal information.
