Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how The Wolf of Eat Street collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information in connection with our website, services, and any future mobile app (together, the Platform).
1) Scope and legal framework
We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and relevant obligations under the Spam Act 2003 (Cth).
By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.
2) Personal information we collect
Depending on your interaction with the Platform, we may collect:
- identity and contact details (for example, name, email, social handle);
- submission data (for example, contact forms, newsletter sign-ups, venue condition reports, comments, and feedback);
- usage and device data (for example, IP address, browser/device details, and session interactions);
- communications data (for example, support and moderation correspondence); and
- integrity and risk data (for example, anti-spam, anti-fraud, and abuse prevention signals).
3) Sensitive information
We do not intentionally request sensitive information unless reasonably necessary and lawful. If you voluntarily submit sensitive information, you consent to handling in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
4) How we collect information
We collect personal information when you browse and use the Platform, submit forms, upload/post user content, contact us, or interact with cookies and similar technologies. We may also collect data from service providers that support hosting, analytics, communications, moderation, and measurement.
5) Why we use information
We use personal information to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the Platform; process and moderate submissions; respond to enquiries; send service communications and, where permitted, marketing; measure performance; detect abuse/fraud; enforce platform terms; comply with law; and support business operations.
6) User submissions and moderation rights
If you submit content, we may review, classify, verify, edit, delay, suppress, reject, remove, or reinstate submissions at our discretion. We may apply moderation labels, confidence indicators, timestamps, source markers, and editorial overlays. We are not required to publish any submission.
Do not submit personal information about others unless you are authorised and have a lawful basis to do so.
7) Community data accuracy disclaimer
Community-submitted venue and condition data may be incomplete, delayed, disputed, or out of date.
To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- we do not warrant that community-submitted data is complete, current, or fit for a particular purpose;
- you are responsible for your own decisions when relying on platform information; and
- content may be revised, re-ranked, corrected, or removed without notice.
Nothing in this policy excludes non-excludable rights under Australian law.
8) AI and automated processing
We may use AI-assisted or automated tools for moderation triage, ranking support, anomaly detection, and quality checks.
We do not intend to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects for individuals without appropriate human oversight, except where law permits.
9) Direct marketing
Where permitted by law, we may send marketing communications. For electronic marketing messages, we aim to comply with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), including sender identification, a functional unsubscribe facility, and processing unsubscribe requests within a reasonable period.
You can opt out via unsubscribe links or by emailing contact@thewolfofeatstreet.com.
10) Cookies, analytics, and ad technologies
We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, security, analytics, and campaign measurement. You can adjust browser/device settings, but some features may be limited if tracking technologies are disabled.
11) Disclosure to service providers
We may disclose personal information to providers supporting hosting, analytics, communication delivery, moderation, security, legal/audit services, and measurement. We take reasonable steps to require handling consistent with this policy and applicable law.
12) Overseas disclosure
Some providers may process or store data outside Australia. Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle personal information consistently with Australian privacy requirements. Overseas jurisdictions may have different laws and may permit lawful authority access.
13) Security
We apply reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect personal information. However, no system is completely secure. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee absolute security, uninterrupted availability, or prevention of all unauthorised access.
14) Anti-abuse and integrity
We may process information to detect and address bots, scraping, spam, fraud, impersonation, manipulation, harassment, and policy breaches. This may involve technical pattern analysis and human review.
15) Retention and de-identification
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for platform, legal, integrity, and dispute-resolution purposes. When no longer required, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify information unless retention is required or authorised by law.
16) Lawful requests and legal rights
We may use or disclose personal information where required or authorised by law, including legal process, regulatory obligations, law enforcement requests, and protection of rights, safety, and property.
17) Business transfer / sale
If we consider or undergo a sale, merger, restructure, financing, insolvency event, or asset transfer, personal information may be disclosed to advisers and counterparties for due diligence and transaction purposes, subject to confidentiality and legal safeguards. If a transaction completes, personal information may transfer as part of business assets to the extent permitted by law.
18) Children
The Platform is not directed to children under 16. If you are under 18, use the Platform with parent/guardian involvement and do not submit personal information about others without proper permission.
19) Access and correction
You may request access to personal information we hold about you and request correction of inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading information.
