Privacy Policy

Nagambie Waterfront Motel

Nagambie Waterfront Motel and its related entities (referred to in this policy as we, us, our) are very conscious of the importance of protecting the privacy of personal information we collect about you.

The Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act), Australian Privacy Principles and registered privacy codes in Australia in addition to the Privacy Act of 1993 in New Zealand, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) of 1967 in the USA and the European GDPR 2018 govern the way in which we must manage your personal information. This Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage your personal information.

This Privacy Policy is reviewed periodically so that you are updated on any changes.

Your Personal Information

We consider personal Information as any information or opinion about an individual who is reasonably identifiable, and whether the information or opinion is stored in a material form or electronic form.

We only collect personal information that is directly related to, or reasonably necessary for the purposes of the operations of our business. The types of personal information we usually collect include your name, address, phone number, email address and certain internet-related details (see below) and other information relevant to providing you with the information or services you are seeking from us.

Wherever practicable, we will enable you to deal with us as anonymously or pseudonymously as you choose, however, in some cases it is not practicable to interact this way.

If you choose not to provide some of your personal details, this may prevent us from providing our services to you or limit our ability to provide the level of service you would normally expect from us.

How we collect Personal Information

Personal information will generally be collected directly from you when you inquire, sign up to our newsletter, make a booking quote or go on book a cabin, site, room, function or activity with us and through the use of any of our standard forms, our dealings with you over the internet, via email, by post or through a telephone conversation. The service that you use will determine exactly what information we collect. The information may include your:

name;
address;
contact telephone number(s);
contact mobile number(s);
date of birth;
country of residence;
driver’s licence number and state/country of origin;
vehicle preference;
credit card number(s) and expiry date(s);
email address;
company name and employee number;
the contact details of the other people travelling with you;
reservations and stay details including dates, and times of arrival and departure; and
preferences such as bike hire, baby beds requirements, dietary requirements, allergies, equipment hire, and other interests that may allow us to personalise your holiday or event with us.
If camping, size of your tent, caravan or motorhome and the number of accompanying vehicles may also be required.

There may, however, be some instances where personal information about you will be collected indirectly because it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect personal information directly from you. For example we may collect personal information through a travel agent, a corporate program or through one of our partner programs. We will usually notify you about these instances in advance, or where that is not possible, as soon as reasonably practicable after the information has been collected.

where you have consented;
where the secondary purpose is directly related to our primary purpose for collecting it in the first place, and you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information in such a way;

it is in the interests of public safety to do so.

Security

We store your personal information in different ways, including in paper and in electronic form. We take the security of your personal information very seriously. We take all reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is stored safely to protect it from misuse, loss, interference, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including electronic and physical security measures.

In addition, our employees and the contractors who provide services related to our information systems are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us.
