Information from third parties
In some cases we may receive information about you from third-party providers that support our hospitality operations, such as reservation platforms, payment gateways, marketing tools, or social media networks, where permitted by law and their own privacy settings.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect primarily to deliver and refine our luxury dining, nightlife, and hospitality services in Australia. Typical purposes include:
- Managing reservations – confirming bookings, communicating with you about reservation status or changes, allocating suitable seating, and ensuring we can deliver the elegant dinner venue experience you expect.
- Coordinating private events and VIP experiences – planning menus, configuring the VIP lounge, and arranging staff and services tailored to your event or premium entertainment-inspired dining requirements.
- Customer support and communication – responding to your enquiries, feedback, or complaints submitted via our Contact Us or Reservations pages.
- Personalising your experience – remembering your preferences where appropriate (such as seating or dietary considerations) and tailoring our services to enhance your Crown restaurant experience and nightlife dining visits.
- Sending updates and marketing communications – providing you with information about new seasonal menus, chef specials, events, or exclusive VIP evenings where you have opted in to receive marketing or where permitted by law. You can opt out at any time.
- Improving our website and services – analysing website traffic, guest behaviour, and navigation patterns across funteria.com so we can refine our user experience, content structure, and reservation flow.
- Security and fraud prevention – monitoring, detecting, and preventing unauthorised access, misuse, or activities that could affect the safety and integrity of our systems, our guests, or our staff.
- Legal and regulatory compliance – meeting our obligations under Australian law, responding to lawful requests from authorities, and enforcing our Terms and Conditions.
Legal Basis for Processing Data
We process your personal information in accordance with Australian privacy legislation, guided by the Australian Privacy Principles and applicable data protection requirements. Depending on the context, our legal bases for processing your data include:
- Your consent – where you have clearly agreed to us collecting and using your information for a specific purpose, such as subscribing to marketing emails highlighting fine dining Australia experiences or opting in to receive updates on nightlife dining events.
- Performance of a contract or taking steps at your request – when it is necessary to process your data to confirm reservations, manage private events, or provide other hospitality services you have requested.
- Legitimate interests – where processing is reasonably necessary for our legitimate business interests in operating a secure, premium restaurant and entertainment-style venue, and those interests are not overridden by your privacy rights. This may include website analytics, service improvement, or ensuring the safety of guests and staff.
- Compliance with legal obligations – when we are required to process or retain certain information under Australian law, regulatory requirements, or lawful orders.
Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time by following the opt-out instructions in our communications or by contacting us using the details in the Contact Information & Policy Updates section below.
Data Sharing & Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may, however, share your information with carefully selected third parties where necessary to deliver our premium hospitality services, operate funteria.com, or meet legal obligations. In all cases we require that third parties handle your data securely and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
Service providers and partners
We may share information with trusted service providers that assist us in areas such as:
- Reservation and booking management platforms;
- Website hosting, maintenance, and security services;
- Email delivery and marketing platforms (for guests who have opted in);
- Analytics and performance monitoring tools;

These providers are permitted to use your personal information only as necessary to provide services to us and must not use it for their own independent purposes.
Business and legal disclosures
We may also disclose information:
- Where required by law, regulation, court order, or governmental request under Australian legislation;
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of Funteria Crown Dining, our guests, our staff, or the public;

If we need to share your information in ways not covered above, we will do so only with your consent or in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
International Data Transfers
Funteria Crown Dining is based in Australia and primarily serves guests seeking luxury dining Sydney experiences and fine dining Australia-wide. However, some of our service providers or technology partners may operate in other countries, which means your personal information could be transferred to or stored on servers located outside Australia.
Where we transfer personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient handles your data in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles and this Privacy Policy. These steps may include:
- Using reputable providers that implement strong security and privacy safeguards;
- Entering into contracts that require overseas recipients to protect personal information in line with Australian standards;
- Limiting the type of information shared to what is strictly necessary for the relevant service.
By using our website or providing personal information to us, you acknowledge that your information may be processed in countries outside Australia, subject to appropriate safeguards as outlined above.
Data Security Measures
We take data security seriously and implement reasonable technical, organisational, and administrative measures to protect personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, loss, modification, or disclosure.
Measures we may use include:
- Using secure servers and encryption technologies for transmitting sensitive data where appropriate;
- Implementing access controls so that only authorised personnel can access personal information on a need-to-know basis;
- Maintaining firewalls, intrusion detection, or other technical safeguards to protect our infrastructure;
- Regularly reviewing our systems, processes, and data-handling practices against industry best practices for hospitality and premium casino restaurant operations.
While we strive to protect your personal information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you share information with us at your own risk. If you suspect any unauthorised use of your account or a security incident involving funteria.com, please contact us immediately using the details in the Contact Information & Policy Updates section.
Retention of Personal Data
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law, regulation, or legitimate business needs.
In practice, this may mean:
- Retaining reservation and dining records for a period necessary to manage bookings, address post-visit enquiries, and maintain accurate business records for our luxury dining Sydney venue.
- Retaining private event and VIP lounge booking information for longer periods where needed for contractual, financial, or legal reasons.
- Storing marketing subscription details until you unsubscribe or we reasonably determine that our communications are no longer relevant to you.
- Maintaining certain records to comply with Australian taxation, accounting, or regulatory requirements.
When personal information is no longer required for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or under applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymise, or de-identify it.
