World Resorts Travel Privacy Policy

World Resorts Travel is subject to the National Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (as amended by the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 (Cth)).

This Privacy Statement explains in general terms how World Resorts Travel protects the privacy of your personal information under the National Privacy Principles.

It will apply to any personal information you provide to us:

• When making a purchase from us, or requesting further information regarding this product;
• Via telephone, facsimile, email, or written request;
• Under any other agreement or arrangement.

What Type of Personal Information We Collect:

The types of personal information that we collect from you will depend on the circumstances of collection and on the type of service you request from us.  For example, when you request to purchase this product, we may collect details such as your name, address, credit/debit card number and expiry date, billing address, telephone numbers, and any other issues relevant to your purchase arrangements.  As we are required by law to obtain your consent to the collection of "sensitive information" we will assume that you have consented to the collection of all information which is provided to us for use in accordance with this Statement, unless you tell us otherwise.

How We Collect Information:

We may collect information about you in the course of providing a service or product to you on your request via telephone, facsimile, email or other correspondence; or visit our website.  We may collect and update that information over the phone, via email, or in person or when you write to us.  We may also acquire personal information through third parties such as our alliance and business partners, or via marketing campaigns, competitions or surveys, or in response to advertising or direct mail.

How We Store Information:

We store personal information in a number of secure databases, as well as in securely stored paper based files.  We take all due care to ensure the security of all of the types of storage media that we use, in order to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure to other parties without our or your consent.

Disclosure of Information to Third Parties:

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in order for them to perform services relating to the purchase of your travel membership which you have requested us to make.  

We will not rent, trade or sell your personal information to any third party without your consent.  Where we have contracted a third party such as a mailing house to provide us with support services, we may divulge relevant personal information to such third party in order for them to fulfill their contractual obligations to us.  We impose strict requirements of security and confidentiality on third parties as to how they handle your personal information.  We oblige these third parties contractually to not use any personal information provided by us to them except to perform the services which we have contracted them to provide.

Access to Personal Information:

We will, on request, provide you with access to the information we hold about you, unless there is an exception which applies under the National Privacy Principles, including for the purpose of correcting or updating that information.  Your request to provide access to this information will be dealt with in a reasonable time.

If we refuse to provide you with access to the information, we will provide you with reasons for the refusal and inform you of any exceptions relied upon under the National Privacy Principles.

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that we collect, use, or disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date whenever we collect or use it.

If the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, we would appreciate your contacting us in order that we can take all reasonable steps to correct the information.

We undertake to promptly acknowledge and investigate any complaints about the way in which we manage personal information.

About this Privacy Policy Statement:

We may amend the Privacy Statement as our business requirements or the law changes. Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be immediately reflected in this Privacy Statement.
