Privacy Policy.

Last updated: 3 March 2017

Choovie regards customer privacy as an important part of our relationship with all our stakeholders including cinemas, subscribers and Choovie guests. The following privacy policy applies to all Choovie users and conforms to Australian Privacy Principles.

Choovie collects your personal information from you (name, email, date of birth, address and mobile number and information specific to your movie going preferences) for the purpose of providing you with the Choovie service. Data collected enables Choovie to communicate with you in a targeted manner as per your cinema going preferences and usage.

Organisations that we regularly share personal information with include secure payment gateways, mail distribution providers and secure data storage providers. We will not sell or provide your information to a third party for the purposes of direct marketing without your informed consent.

We reserve the right to disclose your personal identifiable information as required by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order or legal process. Your name may be shared with Participating cinemas for the purpose of identifying your cinema ticket purchase. If you do not provide us with the necessary information, we may not be able to provide you with the Choovie Service or complete your order.

Choovie will send you notifications via the Choovie app, by email or other media, informing you of special offers, cinema offers relevant to you and any changes and improvements to the Choovie service. We will only send you direct marketing materials if you would reasonably expect to receive them, or you have consented. We will always provide a simple means for you to request not to receive the material.

You can always access, amend or change your personal details or the notifications you receive from Choovie by changing your account details accessed via My Account on the Choovie website or Choovie app. If you close your account, or have not used your account in over 2 years, we will take steps to ensure that your personal information is destroyed.

The security of your personal information is important to us and we use the recommended industry standards when storing and dealing with your personal information.

While we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is protected from misuse, interference or loss, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. You should ensure that you regularly change any access passwords and always logout of any secure pages.

If you have a concern or complaint relating to our handling of your personal information, please send a written note to our privacy officer at Contact Us outlining the nature of the complaint. We will endeavour to respond to your complaint within 30 days of receipt. If unresolved, the complaint may be referred to an external complaints resolution entity and finally, if necessary, taken to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently.
