Privacy Policy

Privacy Commitment

MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR is dedicated to upholding the privacy of all guests, diners, card room visitors and readers of our journal. We handle every personal detail with care, discretion and respect, in keeping with the tone of our venue and the expectations of our community.

We collect and use only the information that is reasonably necessary to host you safely, coordinate reservations and curate in-person card room gatherings and shared meals. We aim to be clear about what we collect, why we collect it and how long we keep it.

Personal Information Collection

We may collect personal information when you dine with us, participate in a card room gathering, read our journal or otherwise engage with MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR. The information we collect can include:

• Reservation details such as your name, preferred contact details, booking date and time, seating preferences and approximate party size
• Card room participation notes such as your name, preferred evening session, table style and any relevant accessibility or comfort requests
• Host and venue communications including email correspondence, telephone calls, messages submitted via our contact channels and responses to any in-house polls or feedback forms
• Dietary and hospitality preferences, such as allergies, dietary restrictions or notes on service pacing and table configuration
• Basic website usage information, such as pages viewed and approximate time on site, collected in a non-intrusive manner to help us understand guest interests and improve usability

Where reasonable and practicable, we will collect information directly from you or from someone you nominate to manage arrangements on your behalf.

Use of Personal Information

MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR uses personal information in measured ways that support thoughtful hospitality and calm, social card room evenings. We may use your information to:

• Arrange, confirm and amend reservations for dining, card lounge tables and private gatherings
• Coordinate seating, pacing and host assignments for in-person poker tables, ensuring that chips are treated solely as non-financial table pieces
• Respond to your enquiries and communicate with you about upcoming bookings, schedule changes or venue updates that may affect your visit
• Curate memorable in-person experiences by honouring your stated preferences, such as quieter corners, particular dining timings or accessibility requirements
• Maintain internal records, logs and host notes that assist with consistent service and continuity between visits
• Review and improve our hospitality offering, including the design of our menu, card room programme and guest communications

We do not use your personal information for unrelated advertising campaigns or for profiling beyond what is reasonably required to offer respectful, in-person hospitality.

Disclosure to Third Parties

MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR never sells or trades your personal information with unrelated third parties. Your details are kept within a small circle of trusted hosts and service providers who assist us in running the venue and journal.

We may disclose personal information to carefully selected third parties only where reasonably necessary to support our operations, such as:

• Hospitality and reservations systems used solely to record and manage bookings
• Secure communication or email services used to send confirmations, reminders or essential updates
• Technical providers who assist in maintaining the security and performance of our website and internal systems

Where we engage a third party, we take reasonable steps to ensure that they handle your information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable Australian privacy laws. We may also disclose information if required or authorised by law, or in connection with the safety of our guests, hosts and venue.

Data Retention Policy

We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law. In practice, this means:

• Reservation and card room records are kept while the associated booking or programme is active and for a reasonable period afterwards to assist with follow-up, guest relations and service continuity
• Contact and correspondence records are retained while a matter remains open and for a measured period following resolution, in case you return to the conversation
• Hospitality preference notes may be kept to help shape future in-person experiences, unless you ask us not to retain them

When personal information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete, de-identify or anonymise it. We review our holdings from time to time to ensure that data is not retained for longer than is appropriate, given the quiet and considered nature of our venue.

Cookies & Tracking

Our website may use small, non-intrusive cookies and similar technologies to keep the site running smoothly and to understand how guests make their way through our pages. Any such tools are used with restraint and in service of usability, rather than advertising.

In particular:

• Cookies may be used to remember basic preferences, such as your acknowledgement of our cookie notice, so that you see fewer interruptions while reading
• Simple analytics may be used to observe general patterns, such as which sections are most often read or which pages are visited before making a reservation
• We do not permit third-party advertising networks or behavioural advertising trackers on this site

You may adjust your browser settings to refuse some or all cookies, or to notify you when a cookie is being set. If you choose to disable cookies, certain features of the site may be less tailored, but core information about the venue and our programme will remain accessible.

Access & Correction

You are entitled to request access to the personal information that MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR holds about you, subject to limited exceptions set out in Australian privacy law. You may also ask us to correct or update your details where they are inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

To make a request, you can contact us using the details set out in the Contact for Privacy Matters section below. To help us respond carefully and protect your privacy, we may ask you to verify your identity or confirm certain booking details before providing access or making amendments.

We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe and will let you know if we are unable to meet your request in full, explaining the reasons where we are permitted to do so. Where an update is agreed, we will take reasonable steps to reflect the change across our active systems.

Children’s Privacy

MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR is an evening-focused venue and card lounge. Our hospitality and card room experiences are designed for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 18 years of age.

If you are a parent, guardian or host and believe that a person under 18 has provided personal information to us without your knowledge, please contact us promptly using the details in the Contact for Privacy Matters section. We will take reasonable steps to review the situation and, where appropriate, remove or de-identify that information from our records.

Security Measures

We take the confidentiality and security of personal information seriously and adopt physical, technical and organisational measures that are appropriate for a measured, hospitality-focused venue. These measures include:

• Restricting access to personal information to hosts and trusted service providers who require it to perform their roles
• Using secure systems and safeguards to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration
• Maintaining internal practices and guidelines that encourage careful handling of guest information and thoughtful record keeping
• Reviewing our systems and arrangements periodically to ensure that security measures remain suitable for our operations

While we strive to protect your information, no system can be entirely free of risk. If we become aware of a significant incident affecting your personal information, we will act in line with applicable laws and our own commitment to transparency and guest care.

In-Person Experience Only

MARCIN SUCHODOLSKI JULK MAR is dedicated to in-person hospitality. All poker and dining experiences take place solely at the venue, with guests physically present at the table. Our card room is social and recreational in nature, with chips used only as non-financial table pieces to support the flow of the game.

We do not offer online poker, remote play or any form of digital gambling environment. We also do not operate remote participation programmes that involve monitoring or recording play from a distance. Any information we collect in connection with card room gatherings is oriented around scheduling, hosting and ensuring that in-person sessions are relaxed, well organised and considerate of your preferences.
