External links

The TRAVLR Platform may include links to third party websites. If you access other websites from the links provided on the TRAVLR Platform, the operators of those websites may collect information from you which will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy, which may differ from our Policy. We recommend that you examine the privacy statements posted on those other websites to understand their procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing Personal Information.

 

Destruction and De-identification

We will retain your Personal Information whilst it is required for any of our business functions, or for any other lawful purpose. We use secure methods to destroy or to permanently de-identify your Personal Information when it is no longer needed.

 

Paper records are commonly sent for secure destruction.

Electronic records are deleted from all locations, to the best of our ability, or encrypted and/or placed beyond use.

 

Overseas disclosure

The TRAVLR Platform is affiliated with or utilises the services of other businesses located both in Australia and overseas. It is noted some of the third-party companies, agents, and contractors that we engage to perform services on our behalf may need to transfer or disclose your personal information internationally in order to provide their services. We may also transfer or disclose your Personal Information between members within the TRAVLR Group, located globally.

 

Accordingly, your Personal Information may be disclosed to, stored, and processed by organisations in Australia and any other counties. It is noted that some territories organisations may not have data protection laws as comprehensive as those set out in this Policy and the APP.

 

While we have implemented measures to safeguard your personal information in accordance with this Policy at all times, we may not have control over the use, collection, disclosure and retention of your Personal Information by the organisation to which we disclose your Personal Information. We may not require organisations to which we disclose Personal Information in those countries to comply with similar privacy laws. Accordingly, your personal information may not receive the same protections that it would in Australia, and you may not be able to seek redress in the overseas jurisdiction.

 

By using and accessing the TRAVLR Platform and providing your Personal Information to us, you expressly consent to our disclosure of your Personal Information to those third parties with whom we share it as described in this Policy.

 

How do we keep Personal Information accurate and up to date?

We rely on the Personal Information we hold about you in providing you with our services or otherwise conducting our business. Therefore, it is important that the information we hold about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date. This means that from time to time we may ask you to tell us if there are any changes to your Personal Information. To assist us to keep our records up-to-date, please advise us immediately when your personal details change.

 

How are you able to access to your Personal Information

We have procedures in place for dealing with and responding to requests for access to the Personal Information held about you.

 

In most cases, we expect that we will be able to comply with your request. However, if we do not agree to provide you access to information as requested, we will give you written reasons why. For further information, please contact us at TRAVLR Pty Ltd, www.travlr.com/contact-us or via email privacy@travlr.com.
