Policy

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Top10shortlist handles information visitors provide, or that may be collected through use of this website. Top10shortlist is an English-language informational website for an Australian physical dining venue with a dedicated offline poker card room. It helps visitors explore the venue, dining, card lounge, tournament offerings, recommendations and table booking. This policy concerns website information; it is intended to make the scope of a visit and any website request easier to understand.

Information we may collect

Information you provide

When you use an enquiry or table-booking pathway on the website, you may choose to provide information in your request. This can include the details you decide are relevant to an enquiry, a dining visit, a card lounge question or a booking-related request. Top10shortlist does not present every website visit as requiring a submission. If you choose to send information, it may be used to understand what you are asking for and to assist with that request where applicable.

Information from website use

Like many websites, Top10shortlist may receive ordinary technical and general usage information when visitors browse the site, where applicable. This information can help show how the website is being accessed and which information is useful to visitors. It is described here at a high level because the policy does not assume particular tools or providers are in use.

Device or browser contextGeneral information about the device or browser used to view the website.
Pages viewedInformation about the pages or content a visitor accesses during a site visit.
General useBroad patterns that may help maintain the site’s content and usability.

How information may be used

Responding to requests

Information you choose to provide may be used to respond to the request you make through the website. For example, it may help Top10shortlist understand an enquiry about dining, the card lounge, social tournament information, curated recommendations or a table-booking-related matter. Where applicable, it may also support communication needed to progress a booking request. This is request-driven use: the policy does not promise a particular confirmation method, response timing or booking outcome.

Visitor enquiriesTo understand and respond to the subject of an enquiry submitted through the website.
Booking supportTo assist with a table-booking-related request where the information is relevant.

Operating and improving the site

General website-use information may, where applicable, help maintain and improve the information visitors find on Top10shortlist. This includes content about the venue, dining menu, card lounge, tournament schedule, wine pairings and classic card games. The purpose is limited to understanding site content and usability; this policy does not describe profiling, automated decisions or a personalised marketing program.

Information is intended to be handled for the purposes described in this policy, or where otherwise permitted or required by applicable law. Top10shortlist aims to keep that purpose connected to the website visit or request rather than extending it beyond what is reasonably relevant.

When information may be shared

Our approach to sharing

Top10shortlist does not present visitor information as a product for sale. If information is disclosed, it should be connected to operating the website or responding to a visitor’s request, and only in a context that is reasonably relevant. Because website arrangements can change, this policy uses qualified language rather than asserting that a particular service, provider or disclosure arrangement is always in place.

Service providersWhere applicable, information may be handled by service providers where needed to operate website functions or to help handle a visitor’s request, including a relevant table-booking pathway. No particular provider or booking system is identified by this policy.
Legal or protective needsInformation may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to meet a legal obligation, protect rights, address misuse or support the safety and integrity of the website and its visitors.
Business transitionIf the website or related operations were involved in a business transition, information could be considered as part of that process where appropriate. This does not mean that a transition is currently taking place.

Cookies and similar technologies

Top10shortlist may use cookies or similar technologies where applicable to support website functions and understand general use of the site. The presence, role and choices connected with these technologies can depend on how the website is operating at a particular time. For more specific information about the site’s approach to cookies and related technologies, please read the Cookie Policy. This Privacy Policy provides the broader information-handling context rather than duplicating every detail addressed in that related policy.

Choices and requests

You may choose not to submit information through website forms or pathways. In that case, Top10shortlist may have less information to understand or respond to your enquiry, or to assist with a booking-related request. This is a practical limitation rather than a requirement to create an account or enter a payment process. You can still use the website to explore venue, dining, card lounge and recommendation information.

Your choiceYou can decide whether to include information in an enquiry or booking-related request, taking into account the help you are seeking.
Requests and questionsIf you have a question about information you submitted, want to request an update where appropriate, or wish to raise a privacy concern connected with a booking-related request, begin through the Table Booking page. The available route helps direct your request without this policy inventing a separate contact channel.

Security and retention

Reasonable steps may be used to protect information handled through the website. At the same time, no online transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. Visitors should consider this when choosing what to include in a website request. This policy does not claim particular security tools, certifications, retention periods or breach procedures. Information handling should remain connected to the relevant website purpose and the circumstances in which information was provided.

Policy questions or changes

Changes to this policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated as the website or its information practices change. A change may clarify the way Top10shortlist describes a website function, visitor request or related policy topic. Visitors are encouraged to review this page from time to time so they can understand the current information presented here and use the most relevant site pathway for a question.
