South Sydney Junior Rugby League Club Limited

Privacy Statement
This Privacy Statement sets out the South Sydney Junior Rugby League Club Limited’s commitment to safeguard your personal information.

Compliance with privacy legislation This Privacy Statement describes the purposes for which we may collect, store, use and disclose your personal information. It generally applies whenever you give personal information to us when you use our products or services or when we do business with you.

This Privacy Statement covers your dealings with any company in the South Sydney Junior Rugby League Club Limited entity or controlled entities.

This Privacy Statement describes how we will comply with our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988, including the National Privacy Principles.

Collection of personal information Personal information is generally defined as information or an opinion that can identify a person. This information could include information such as your name, postal or email address, date of birth, image and financial details.

The type of personal information that we may collect from you will depend on the dealings you may have with us. For example, we may require more information about you when you apply for club membership (e.g. production of identification documents) than we may require to enable you to enter a competition for example.

If it is reasonable or practical to do so, we collect your personal information from you directly when you use our products and services, enter into arrangements with us or come on our premises. Depending on the product or service that we provide to you, we may collect your personal information from third parties. If you are an agent who has, or is entering into, an arrangement to provide products and services on our behalf, we may also collect your personal information from credit reporting agencies.

We also have obligations to collect personal information and/or images of you under anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing legislation.

Use of personal information We operate a number of businesses which handle personal information. The general purposes for which we may collect and hold your personal information (and share that information with related companies) are:

• to identify you;
• to provide you with the product or service that you have requested and any benefits you may subsequently become entitled to in relation to that product or service;
• to manage and administer a product or service to you on an ongoing basis;
• to protect your use of the product or service, and our ability to provide that product or service;
• if you are an agent who is entering into an arrangement to provide products and services on our behalf, to obtain a credit report from a credit reporting agency to assess an application for commercial credit;
• to obtain a credit report or other information from a credit reporting agency or financial services provider to assess an application for any form of credit or payment facility which may be extended or offered to you; and
• to comply with any obligations that we may have under laws that apply to our business, such as preparing player activity statements and monitoring the responsible provision of gambling services in the club, including the exclusion of patrons from the club.

We may also use the information we collect about you, including your use of our products and services, to keep you informed about our products and services where they are relevant to your continued use of those products and services or your preferences.

Information about the way and frequency with which you use our products and services may also be used by us for the purposes of quality control and to develop and improve the products and services that we are able to offer to you.

Disclosure of personal information We may disclose your personal information where we are required or authorised to do so by or under law or where the disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce the law. This may occur under the laws that apply to our business, for example, where a regulatory authority requests information from us. This includes obligations that we have under anti-money laundering and counter terrorism financing legislation and in connection with our obligations relating to the responsible provision of gambling services.

In addition, there are circumstances in which we may disclose your personal information to another organisation for particular purposes that are important to help us to operate our business. These circumstances are described in detail below.

Sharing information with other organisations We will not sell your personal information to other organisations.

We will generally only give another organisation access to your personal information when the other organisation is providing services to us that help us to operate our business or to provide a service to you.

We require these organisations to agree to our Privacy Statement, meet strict conditions on the use of personal information, and to comply with the National Privacy Principles in the use, storage and disclosure of your personal information.

Such organisations are those that assist us:

• to provide, manage or administer the products and services that we offer. This includes service providers (such as mail house providers, printers and advertising agencies), postal services, call centres, customer research agencies and our advisers;
• to maintain, review, and develop our business systems, procedures and infrastructure, including testing or upgrading our computer software;
• with reviews of our business operations and structure;
• to collect outstanding debts; and
• with developing and planning new products and services.

We may also share your personal information with an organisation where we have obtained your consent.

Marketing We may also collect and use your personal information so that we can promote and market our products and services, promotions and upcoming events to you (including by way of  The Juniors app, direct mail, telemarketing, SMS and MMS messages). We will only send you this information if:

• you have indicated your consent to receiving such information; or
• such information is related to the purpose for which we originally collected your personal information.
• This app collects location data to reward patrons for visiting us, even when the app is closed or not in use.

We send this information to keep you informed of our new products and services and special offers, but if you don’t want us to do this, you can contact us at any time to let us know that you no longer want to receive this information.

Such marketing may be undertaken by one or more of the companies in the South Sydney Junior Rugby League Club Limited Consolidated Entity using your personal information.

Surveillance of venues The Juniors Group of Clubs is subject to video, facial recognition technology and at times audio surveillance for security reasons.
