Do you collect my personal information and what information do you collect?
In the course of doing business with you and to enable us to provide you with accommodation and other services, we do need to collect some personal information from you. This generally includes your name, address and other contact details together with credit card information.

How do you collect my personal information?
This information is collected in a variety of ways. In person, in writing, by telephone, through our website and by other electronic communication channels. We always try to ensure that this information is obtained from you directly. However sometimes we do obtain information about you from travel agents and others when you are enquiring about or booking accommodation.

What do you do with my information?
The information which is provided is used to arrange accommodation, services and to make travel arrangements on your behalf.

With your permission, from time to time, we may use your information to keep you up to date with the products or services we offer or services we think will enhance your visit to Cairns. However, each time we use your personal information for this purpose, we will give you the opportunity to decline to receive any further information from us.

What happens if I decide not to give you any information?
You do not have to provide us with your personal information but without your details will not be able to process any bookings you wish to make.

Who else do you give my information?
We will only ever disclose personal information to the travel service providers who provide their services to our clients. We will not under any circumstances release your personal information to direct marketers without your express permission.

We will not disclose your information to any other person for any other purpose unless we are authorised or directed by law to do so or unless you authorise its release. We may be required by law or by an order of a court or tribunal to disclose your personal information to others. The Privacy Act also allows us to disclose personal information about you for purposes relating to public safety and law enforcement.

Our contracted agents and service providers have been informed of the importance we place on protecting your privacy and their role in helping us to do this and they undertake to maintain the confidentiality of your personal information. Any use of your personal information by them will be subject to the Privacy Act and the Principles.

Who sees or has access to my personal information?
Your personal information will only ever be seen or used by persons working for Noosa Crest Pty Ltd.

How long do you need my information for? What do you do with it when you are finished with it?
Written information is kept for about eighteen months in case our auditors need to refer to your account details. Then it is destroyed. Computer records are kept securely for longer as the Taxation Department or our accountants may need to refer our financial details. We do keep your contact details so that we can send you details of promotions or services, which you may be interested in. Each time we forward you information you can tell us not to send anything further. In this case your information will be immediately deleted from our records.
