Who is Kegel Barn Pty. Ltd.

Heinz Gress Dorothy Gress Stewart Tanner Gabrielle Tanner Chris Howarth Julie Howarth Privacy Policy

Kegel Barn is a company that is primarily focused on developing and promoting the sport of Kegel 9 pin bowling in Australia. The chosen mechanism for this is Franchising as we believe that the proprietor of a Kegel Bowling centre will need our specialised knowledge of Kegel to develop his or her business.

Mission

The sport of Kegel Bowling is a recreation activity intended to provide affordable entertainment. The sport will cater to fun play but still provide the competitive bowler with challenges.

Kegel Barn Management and Franchise operators will offer great services and respond to the needs of the community that they serve while contributing to the quality of life of that community by promoting a gentle form of sport.


Heinz Gress

Heinz has been a self employed business man for most of his adult life.

Heinz is a Tool Maker by trade and the discipline learned and ability to create a tool for a task has been invaluable during his business life. Heinz operated a successful tool making business in Sydney before relocating the business to Coffs Harbour. Recognising the limitations imposed by distance Heinz started a manufacturing and retail operation based around the leisure activity of fishing. Sale of the retail operation and a honest evaluation of his future during the “recession we had to have” led to another business venture, aquaculture.

Heinz became one of the leading experts in his area of aquaculture with his expertise being applied to the farming of eels and consulting roles within the industry. Aquaculture is still an area of interest for Heinz although he has sold all his interests and effectively retired from consulting as his work ethics and desire to operate in a professional manner require 100% of his effort to be directed to the establishment and expansion of Kegel Barn in Australia.

Heinz and Dorothy established a prototype Kegel Barn in August 2003 based on their research in Europe and their belief that the Australian public would enjoy the challenge of Kegel bowling, the variety of games and the cost effective establishment and running of a Kegel Barn would prove to be a successful model. They obtained the Australian distribution rights for Vollmer Kegel equipment in 2004 and began to seriously examine mechanisms for expanding the game.

The establishment of a prototype Kegel Barn has provided valuable data. The identification of market segments, development of league bowling, limitations of scale, enthusiastic acceptance and enjoyment of the game by diverse demographics both locally and from all over Australia have enabled Heinz to develop a reproducible system that is being offered as Kegel Barn franchises.

His business acumen, his consulting skills, and his unique Kegel knowledge mean Heinz is able to provide assistance in establishment, building and long term management for a Kegel Barn franchisee.

Kegel Barn Privacy Policy

Kegel Barn is strongly committed to protecting your privacy while interacting with our content, products and services.

This policy applies only to Kegel Barn and not to other companies' or organisations' websites to which we are linked.

Kegel Barn collects two types of information. The first type is anonymous information. For instance, we may collect information to tell us that five hundred people visit this page today, but we do not know their names, where they live or their date of birth - they are 'anonymous' to us.

The second type of information that Kegel Barn collects is personal information. Kegel Barn will collect personal information that lets us know the specifics of who you are such as your name, email address, or postal address, when you provide it to us. With this information, Kegel Barn can provide a variety of personalised and enhanced services that are not available to anonymous users. We hope that you will find it beneficial to provide individually identifiable information about yourself to us because it will make our services more valuable to you.

Sometimes, we may specifically ask for personal information about you when you sign up to use a service. Certain information may be required, such as your name, age, internet address or screen name, billing address, type of computer, credit card number, in order to provide that service or product to you. This information may also be used to inform you of additional products and services which may interest you. How much of your personal information that you choose to disclose to Kegel Barn is completely up to you. The only way we know something about you personally is if you provide it to us, for example when you join the Birthday Club.

Use of anonymous information

Kegel Barn automatically gathers anonymous information to monitor the use of Kegel Barn like the numbers and frequency of visitors to Kegel Barn and its areas, very much like television ratings that tell the networks how many people tuned in to a program. We only use such data in the aggregate. This collective data helps us determine how much our audiences use parts of the site, so we can improve the Kegel Barn website to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many people as possible. Kegel Barn may publish or provide this aggregate data to other people.

Use of personal information

Kegel Barn will only use the personal information you have chosen to provide us for the purpose for which you provided it. Kegel Barn will not use it for any other purpose without your consent.

Disclosure

There will be occasions where it will be necessary for Kegel Barn to disclose your personal information to third parties. Kegel Barn may be required by law to disclose the information, or Kegel Barn may be required to disclose your personal information to third parties to provide the service you have requested, for example, if you purchase products online from Kegel Barn, Kegel Barn will need to disclose your personal information to third parties in order to bill and deliver your products. However, the disclosure will only be made where it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which you disclosed your personal information. Otherwise than stated above, we do not disclose personal information that you may give us, such as your name, address, email address or telephone number, to any organisation or person outside Kegel Barn unless you have authorised us to do so.

No sale of personal information

Under no circumstances will Kegel Barn sell or receive payment for licensing or disclosing your personal information.

Complaints

If you have a complaint about any aspect of our Privacy procedures, please contact our Privacy Officer via PrivacyOfficer@KegelBarn.com.au. We will deal promptly with your complaint. If we cannot resolve the complaint to your satisfaction within a reasonable time, you or we may refer the complaint to the Privacy Commissioner.
