PRIVACY POLICY

YOUR PRIVACY IS IMPORTANT

Your privacy is important to us and Subway Vault Pty Ltd (Subway) is dedicated to protecting your personal information across all areas of its business. Personal information is information or an opinion about you.  

This Privacy Policy explains Subway's personal information handling practices across the organisation including information about how we collect, use, disclose and store your personal information. 

It also contains information about how you can access the personal information Subway or Scantek holds about you, how you can ask Subway or Scantek to correct your personal information and how you can make a complaint if you have concerns about how Subway or Scantek managed your personal information. 

You can find more information by contacting Subway (please refer to the “Contact us” section of this policy).

 COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Subway collects your personal information so that we can perform our functions or activities and offer our services to you. 

Personal information includes things such as your name, image, date of birth, phone number(s), postal address and email address. The type of personal information we collect from you depends on your interaction with us.   

Depending on the transaction, if Subway does not collect your personal information, we may not be able to provide you an offer or service. 

Collection from you

It is Subway’s usual practice to collect your personal information directly from you. For example, you provide us your personal information when you visit the venue, purchase items from the online store, write to us, join a mailing list or make a private room reservation. 

Collecting sensitive personal information

Sensitive personal information is information or an opinion about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions or memberships, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, sexual preferences, criminal record, health information, genetic information or membership of a trade union. 
Subway’s general approach is not to collect, use or disclose sensitive information. However in limited circumstances, Subway will collect sensitive information where it is necessary for one of Subways' functions or activities and you have consented to the collection of that information.

Collecting information required by law

Subway also collects your personal information where we are required or authorised to do so by an Australian law or court or tribunal order, for example, pursuant to the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (Cth).

Once Subway has collected your personal information it will provide you a copy of it in person at Subway subject to verifying your identity.
