Current policy

Reading guide

How to use this policy

This page is a practical guide to the information we may collect, the reasons it may be used, the limited circumstances in which it may be shared, and the choices available to you. Its headings are intended to make each topic easy to find. Please also read any relevant notice provided when you share information with us.

01 / Information

Information we may collect

Information you choose to provide

We may collect personal information when you send an enquiry, ask a question, or otherwise contact Chance and Velvet. Depending on what you choose to provide, this may include your name, email address, phone number and the content of your message. We aim to collect only information that is relevant to understanding and responding to your communication.

You are not required to provide information beyond what is reasonably needed for the matter you would like us to address. If you share additional details, we will handle them in the context in which they were provided.

Website and device information

When you visit chanceandvelvet.com, normal website operation may generate general technical and usage information. Where collected, this can include information such as browser type, device information, pages viewed and general patterns of site use. This information helps us operate, maintain and better understand the website.

We describe these categories in general terms because the information available can depend on how the website is used. Any applicable notice displayed through the website should be read for further detail at the point it is provided.

In-person venue context

Information from direct venue communications

Information may also arise when you contact the venue by email or phone. This can include an enquiry about dining, the atmosphere, the card room or an in-person gathering, together with the details needed to reply. We handle that information for the context of the communication rather than treating every conversation as an ongoing marketing request.

Where a conversation concerns poker activity, it relates to offline gatherings held in person at the Chance and Velvet venue. We use the information supplied to address the enquiry in an appropriate and considered way.

02 / Purpose

How information may be used

We use personal information for purposes that are connected with the way it was collected and appropriate to the relevant interaction.

Responding to requests

Contact details and message content may be used to answer an enquiry, provide relevant information and continue a conversation that you have initiated. This lets us understand what you are asking about and respond in a manner suited to that enquiry. We do not use a request for information as a reason to handle your details beyond what is appropriate to the communication.

Operating and improving the website

Where applicable, general website information may be used to keep chanceandvelvet.com functioning, assess how visitors use it and improve its clarity, performance and overall visitor experience. This can help us recognise which pages are useful and where the site may need attention, without making assumptions about an individual visitor.

Meeting legal and responsible business obligations

Information may also be used where reasonably necessary to meet applicable obligations, address a concern, protect the venue and its visitors, or manage records responsibly. These uses are considered in their context and are limited to an appropriate purpose. Chance and Velvet does not use personal information beyond what is reasonably connected with the relevant purpose.

03 / Care

Sharing, storage, and security

Limited sharing

Personal information may be shared only where it is needed to support the relevant purpose, where you ask or agree to that sharing, or where disclosure is required or permitted by applicable law. This may include sharing with trusted service providers that assist with an appropriate business function. We expect recipients to handle information appropriately for the role they perform.

We do not describe information as never shared, because limited disclosure can sometimes be necessary. Instead, we seek to keep sharing proportionate to the reason the information is being handled.

Retention

Storage and retention

We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected or to meet applicable record-keeping obligations. We do not set a single retention period for every type of information, as the appropriate period can depend on the nature of the communication or record.

When information is no longer required, it is managed in line with reasonable business practices and the circumstances in which it was collected.

04 / Your choices

Your privacy choices

Access and correction

You may ask to access personal information that Chance and Velvet holds about you, or request correction where you believe it is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. To help us locate the right record and protect your privacy, we may need enough information to understand who is making the request and what communication or interaction it concerns.

Requests are considered in accordance with applicable requirements and the circumstances of the information involved. We may need to clarify a request before we can address it properly, particularly where doing so helps protect the privacy of everyone concerned.

Questions and concerns

You can raise a question or concern about the way your personal information has been handled. A clear description of the matter, together with relevant contact context, will help us understand what you need. Chance and Velvet will consider the matter and respond in an appropriate way, with care for the details you have provided.

We welcome a direct and practical explanation of your concern so that it can be considered in its proper context.

05 / Updates
