Privacy Policy

About this Policy

Lion Nathan Pty Ltd (“LN” or “we” “us” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of any personal information it holds about individuals in accordance with the applicable laws. “Personal information” is information about an identifiable individual, as defined by applicable law. LN has implemented measures to comply with its obligations under the relevant Australian and New Zealand privacy laws.

This policy forms part of our Terms and Conditions for use of this website, which you should also read. Privacy statements in relation to this website and in relation to calls received by our Consumer Enquiries line are also incorporated into this policy.

Why does LN collect my personal information?

LN collects your personal information to allow it to perform its business functions. For example, LN may collect your personal information to enable you to participate in a LN promotion or to allow LN to market its current and future products and services to you.

What personal information does LN collect?

The types of personal information LN collects will depend on the nature of your dealings with LN and may (but does not always) include:

  • Your name;
  • Gender;
  • Date of birth;
  • Address;
  • Personal and/or work contact details (e.g. phone numbers and email addresses);
  • Any information about you which you provide through promotions, competitions or customer surveys; and/or
  • Payment details (e.g. credit card number).

If necessary, LN may also ask you to provide it with additional personal information from time to time, including when you call our Consumer Enquiries line.

What if you don’t provide LN the personal information it requires?

If you can’t, or won’t, provide LN with the personal information it reasonably requires, LN may be unable to provide you with the information, goods or services you have requested.

How does LN collect my personal information?

LN tries to collect personal information directly from you. That collection generally occurs when you:

  • Request information from, or have dealings directly with LN or one of its related companies;
  • Participate in a competition or trade promotion conducted by LN or one of its related companies;
  • Participate in a survey conducted by LN or one of its related companies;
  • Purchase tickets or merchandise from a website operated by LN or one of its related companies;
  • Access or request information from LN’s website or the website of one of its related companies; or
  • Provide information to LN’s customer service call centre.

In some circumstances however, LN may also collect your personal information from third parties, but where it does so, it will ensure that it acts in accordance with relevant privacy laws.

LN will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are aware of the purposes for which it collects your personal information.

How does LN use my personal information?

LN uses your personal information for purposes including (but not limited to):

  • Providing you with the LN goods or services you request;
  • Promoting and marketing LN’s current and future products and services to you;
  • Informing you of upcoming events, special promotions and offers, discounts and other matters which LN considers may be of interest to you;
  • Conducting research (including but not limited to client surveys) concerning LN’s current and future products or services; and
  • To improve the operation or navigation of LN’s website.

LN may also use your personal information for other purposes not listed above which will be made clear to you at the time LN collects that information, or for such purposes as may be required or permitted by law.

If LN uses your personal information for direct marketing purposes, all correspondence sent to you by LN will give you the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving any further direct marketing correspondence.

Will LN give your personal information to anyone else?

In providing you the information, goods or services you request, LN may be required to disclose your personal information to:

  • LN’s related companies (including those located in Australia and New Zealand); and
  • LN’s consultants, contractors and service providers performing services including (but not limited to) promotions agencies, advertising agencies, legal and accounting services, credit reporting, mail-house, transport, prize providers and printing services.

Other than those third parties referred to above, LN will not disclose your personal information to any other third party unless it has reasonable grounds to believe:

  • You have authorised LN to do so;
  • Your safety, or the safety of others in the community, is at risk; or
  • LN is required or permitted by law to do so.

If LN provides your personal information to a third party, LN generally requires the third party to protect your personal information in the same way LN does.

Is my personal information secure?

LN takes reasonable steps to ensure personal information it holds about you is protected from risks such as loss, unauthorised access, use, destruction, modification or disclosure.

No data transmission over the internet is totally secure. As a result, any personal information you send to LN over the Internet (including via email) is sent at your own risk.

Your rights of access and correction

The accuracy of your personal information is important. LN takes reasonable steps to ensure personal information it holds about you is accurate, complete, up-to-date, relevant and not misleading. If you believe that any personal information LN holds about you is incorrect, please contact us on 13 15 13.

You have a general right to access the personal information LN holds about you. You may contact our Consumer Enquiries line on 13 15 13 to request details of your personal information. LN can deny your request in some circumstances and if it does so, will provide you with written reasons for that denial.

While there is no fee for requesting access to the personal information LN holds about you, LN reserves the right to charge a reasonable fee for the preparation and provision of that information to you.

You also have the right to request the correction of personal information which LN holds about you. You may do so at any time by contacting our Consumer Enquiries line on 13 15 13. LN does however reserve the right to refuse to correct your information in some circumstances.
