Privacy Policy

Entertainment Publications of Australia Pty Ltd ("Entertainment Publications") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect and the manner in which we may use such information. We may modify or supplement this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we decide to change this Privacy Policy, we will post those changes on this page of our website. We are committed to ensuring that to the best of our ability, we meet all the requirements of Australian Privacy Principles and the Privacy Act in Australia, and the Privacy Act (2020) and Privacy Principles in New Zealand.

Collection of information:

Entertainment Publications collects information about you in 4 different ways:

  • Member Activation:

    When you activate your Entertainment membership, we will ask you to provide certain information about yourself. This information may include name, mailing address, e-mail address, and phone number. We will collect personal information such as this only when it has been voluntarily provided by you.

  • Restaurant Appraisal Forms:

    When you complete a restaurant appraisal form as part of your Entertainment dining experience, we collect contact information such as your name, mailing address, and e-mail address.

  • Voting for your Favourite Restaurant:

    When you vote for your favourite restaurant using the online form or the form in the Entertainment membership, we collect contact information such as your name, mailing address and e-mail address.

  • Cookies/IP Addresses:

    Entertainment Publications' primary website does not collect permanent cookies.

Entertainment Publications collects information about individuals using the Frequent Values™ series of websites through Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. An IP address is a number that is unique to the computer through which you are connected to the Internet. The Frequent Values™ series of websites also use "cookies" to assign identification to your computer. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your web browser on your computer's hard drive. Cookies allow a website to store and reference specific types of information while you are visiting it, and to keep your session "live" when you are logged in. Entertainment Publications cookies contain no personal information or financial information. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, although your browser preferences may be changed to prevent this if you so desire. Please see www.cookiecentral.com for further information.

Delete Account

‍Entertainment provides an option to remove a user's account details via the App. Users can revoke this request within 30 days by clicking the Withdraw prompt in the Entertainment App. 

 

This request will only affect your Entertainment membership account details. If you also wish to delete a Frequent Values program membership, you will need to do that separately through the relevant Frequent Values App. Please note, if you are the master account holder, all connected accounts will lose access to membership benefits.

 

After 30 days, we will remove your access and obfuscate your data from the master database if your Frequent Values membership does not require this data.

As per applicable Australian and New Zealand law, we must maintain financial records for seven years and thus keep historical data to support any audit.
