Facial Recognition

It is a requirement of entry to the Club that you consent to your digital image being recorded and stored by the Club’s facial recognition system. If you do not agree to Club’s use of facial recognition technology, then you must not enter the Club’s premises.

Facial recognition technology is used by the Club to enhance the Club’s security procedures and assist the Club to identify and remove individuals who have been self-excluded. Gaming Machines Act s. 45(4) requires the Club to prevent self-excluded patrons from entering the nominated area of the venue, which is generally either the entire premises or the gaming machine areas . The collection of your digital image is reasonably necessary in order by the Club to effectively fulfil its obligations under Gaming Machines Act s. 45.

When you are at the Club’s premises, a digital image of your face will be analysed by the Club’s facial recognition technology. Designated security cameras on the Club’s premises use facial recognition technology to collect and record a digital image of your face.  The digital image will be matched against the Club’s database of individuals who have self-excluded from the Club’s premises.

Individuals who are identified as self-excluded from the Club’s premises will be refused entry or asked to leave.

If you have not been self-excluded from the Club, your digital image will be deleted.

If you have been self-excluded from the Club, the Club will collect your digital image from your photo held by the Club (e.g. from the photo on your membership card) and will hold a copy of that digital image while you remain self-excluded from the Club.

The Club has implemented systems to ensure that your personal and sensitive information is securely stored on our networks and protected by authentication log in procedures. The Club runs advanced malware protection systems and takes all reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference and loss, unauthorised access, modification, destruction and disclosure.
