Grill’d will not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Unless otherwise specified in this Privacy Policy, Grill’d will not disclose any of your personal information to any other organisation unless the disclosure is required by law, is otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act, or is with your consent.
8. Direct marketing communications
Keeping you in the loop means you get access to the juiciest deals and the best guilt-free offers. To do this, Grill’d may send you direct marketing communications and information about us and our products and services that may be of interest to you. These communications may be sent in various forms, including mail, SMS and email, in accordance with applicable marketing laws, such as the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). You consent to us sending you those direct marketing communications by any of these methods.
You may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by contacting us using the contact information in clause 15 of this Privacy Policy or by using the unsubscribe button found in the emails you receive from us.
Grill’d does not provide your personal information to other organisations for the purposes of their own direct marketing activities.
9. Anonymity
Generally, you can deal with Grill’d anonymously. However, in certain circumstances, if you choose to remain anonymous Grill’d may not be able to provide you with certain products or services, which, we are sure you agree, would be a real shame.
10. How can you access, update or correct your personal information?
You may request access to personal information Grill’d holds about you in writing to the Grill’d Privacy Officer whose details are set out below. Grill’d may require you to provide proof of your identity before providing such information.
There may be instances where Grill’d cannot grant you access to the personal information it holds. For example, Grill’d may need to refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. If that happens, Grill’d will give you written reasons for any results.
If you believe that personal information Grill’d holds about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request that Grill’d amends it. Grill’d will consider if the information requires amendment. If Grill’d does not agree that there are grounds for amendment, then Grill’d will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.
11. Security
Grill’d takes reasonable steps to ensure the personal information Grill’d holds about you is protected from misuse, interference and loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Grill’d may hold your information in either electronic or hard copy form. Grill’d will hold your personal information only for as long as required for Grill’d’s business purposes and otherwise as required by law. Where Grill’d no longer needs to keep your personal information for a permitted purpose, Grill’d will take reasonable steps to destroy your personal information or to ensure that the information is de-identified.
As the Grill’d Website and Grill’d App are linked to the internet, and the internet is inherently insecure, Grill’d cannot provide any assurance regarding the security of transmission of information you communicate to Grill’d online. Grill’d also cannot guarantee that the information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted over the internet. Accordingly, any personal information or other information which you transmit to Grill’d online is transmitted at your own risk.
12. Third party payment providers
Whether it’s a Simply Grill’d kind of day, or those crispy Zucchini Chips are your go-to fix those hunger cravings, orders submitted through Grill’d’s online ordering service must be paid for by credit card, debit card or other payment methods via the payment facility provided. This secure payment facility is provided by a third party payment gateway provider. Grill’d does not store your full credit card or debit card details. You can save your preferred payment method through your online ordering account, but Grill’d’s third party provider will store these details for future retrieval. You consent to Grill’d sharing your personal information to any third party payment provider Grill’d engages from time to time.
13. Off-shore disclosure
Grill’d may disclose personal information it collects and holds about you to third party service providers outside of Australia. These third parties are located in overseas countries including, but not limited to the United States of America, Singapore, Japan, Korea and India.
Grill’d takes reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas third party suppliers or contractors deal with personal information securely. However, some of these jurisdictions may have less protective privacy and data laws. You acknowledge that, by agreeing to this Privacy Policy and the disclosure of your personal information to entities outside of Australia, overseas recipient’s may not comply with Australian privacy laws and Grill’d will not be liable to you for any breach of Australian privacy laws or this Privacy Policy by such third parties.
