We treat such information with additional care and use it only for the purpose for which you provide it.
2.4 Information about others
If you provide us with personal information about another individual (for example, a guest in your party, a corporate contact or an event attendee), you are responsible for ensuring that the individual is aware of this Privacy Policy and has authorised you to share their information with us.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information to create a refined, reliable and personalised experience at StackedPlateDining, both online and at our venue. The main purposes for which we collect and use your information include:
- Managing reservations and bookings – to process and confirm your table bookings, private poker evenings and group reservations initiated via our Reservations or Contact Us pages.
- Delivering premium dining experiences – to understand your preferences, accommodate dietary and accessibility requirements, and tailor our Dining offering to your expectations.
- Hosting events and tournaments – to administer registrations for our offline poker nights, live tournaments and private functions, including communication about schedules, formats and venue details featured on our Events and Functions pages.
- Providing VIP and lounge services – to manage lounge access, concierge requests, loyalty benefits and exclusive invitations related to our Lounge experiences.
- Communicating with you – to respond to enquiries, send booking confirmations, provide operational updates, notify you about changes to events or services, and send carefully curated hospitality updates where you have opted in.
- Marketing and brand communications – to share news, offers and stories that highlight our venue, menu and poker experiences, in accordance with your communication preferences and applicable Australian spam and privacy laws.
- Improving our website and services – to analyse site usage, refine navigation, enhance the booking journey and develop new offerings that reflect the interests of our guests.
- Compliance, risk management and venue safety – to comply with legal obligations, venue licence conditions, responsible service of alcohol and gaming responsibilities, and to manage risk, security and incident investigations.
- Internal reporting and analytics – to generate aggregated and de-identified insights that help us understand demand patterns, event popularity and guest satisfaction across our hospitality experiences.
Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before using your personal information for direct marketing or for any purpose that is significantly different from the original reason for collection.
4. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We treat your personal information with discretion and respect. We do not sell your personal information. However, in order to operate a seamless, premium hospitality environment, we may share your information with carefully selected third parties in the following circumstances:
- Service providers and partners – including reservation platforms, payment processors, email and SMS communication providers, event management systems, IT hosting providers and analytics partners who assist us in delivering our services.
- Professional advisers – such as legal, accounting, risk and insurance advisers where reasonably necessary for the management and protection of our business and guests.
- Venue and operations partners – including security providers, catering partners or entertainment collaborators where joint services are being delivered for functions, tournaments or private events.
- Compliance and law enforcement – where required or authorised by Australian law, regulation or court order, or where we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the safety, rights or property of guests, staff, or the broader community.
- Business transactions – in the context of a potential merger, acquisition, restructure or sale of our business or assets, where personal information may be transferred under strict confidentiality arrangements and in accordance with privacy law.
Whenever we share your personal information with third parties, we take reasonable steps to ensure that they handle the information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy, including through appropriate contractual obligations, confidentiality arrangements and data security expectations.
5. Data Storage and Security Measures
We take the protection of your personal information seriously and implement a combination of technical, administrative and physical safeguards to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss.
Our security measures include:
- Secure hosting environments and restricted access to systems containing personal information.
- Use of reputable payment gateways to process transactions, rather than storing full payment card details on our own systems.
- Role-based access controls, staff confidentiality obligations and training on privacy and information security.
- Encryption and secure protocols for data transmission where appropriate.
- Regular review of our digital infrastructure and hospitality processes to maintain an appropriate security posture.
While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is entirely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have particular concerns about the security of your information, please contact us using the details in the How to Contact Us section.
We retain personal information for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by Australian law, including venue licensing, tax and record-keeping obligations. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to de-identify or securely destroy it.
7. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website may include links to third-party websites, social media platforms, booking tools, content platforms or partner services that are not operated or controlled by StackedPlateDining. Examples may include reservation engines, map and location services, social media pages or external event platforms.
While we carefully select partners that align with our brand and values, we are not responsible for the privacy practices, security standards or content of external websites or services. If you follow a link from our site to a third-party destination, your use of that site will be governed by its own terms and privacy policy.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you access, particularly before sharing personal information or completing bookings or transactions outside of our domain.

Where we engage overseas service providers, we take reasonable steps to ensure that they handle your personal information in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles and this Privacy Policy, including through contractual safeguards and appropriate due diligence.
