We only collect the following information and is limited to:

• your name
• your date of birth, or residential address, or both
• the photograph appearing on your photo ID.

All personal information is securely held and managed in a secure Australian data centre.

The ID scanner system does not collect or use unsolicited personal information.

Your personal information is not stored locally at any venue, and it cannot be accessed except as described below.

Group Security Solutions has access to the collected information for the purpose of maintaining the system and responding to lawful requests from:

• Law Enforcement
• Liquor Authority

If you have been issued with a venue banning order your banning order may be shared with other connected venues, in which they may refuse you entry into the venue. No other information is shared with us.

We do not have access to your personal information once it is scanned, and therefore we cannot use or disclose this information for the purpose of direct marketing.

Your personal information is securely managed and held by Group Security, and by law we cannot transfer this information outside of Australia except to New Zealand.

Government issued identifiers such as passport numbers are not collected or used as part of the ID scanner system.

Data is stored in an encrypted form and is only accessible through the system software. All data communications are encrypted and your personal information is not stored in plain text.

Venue staff do not have access to your personal information, and each scanner venue has a unique login ID, which is subject to an audit trail.

Your personal information is automatically and permanently deleted from the ID scanner system 30 days after it was collected, except where:

• you are subject to a long term banning order, in which case your information is kept for the duration of the banning period, or
• in such other cases at the request of Law Enforcement.

No personal data is provided to third parties outside of law enforcement and venue staff. Again, unless a patron is flagged, data is permanently deleted shortly after visiting an establishment.
