Your personal information is important to us

The information we collect

In general, only information you provide about yourself to Barney Beach Accommodation Centre directly will be collected, such as through enquiring about various products and services, making a booking on the Barney Beach Accommodation Centre website or identifying yourself when requesting information to be sent to you.  In certain circumstances, we may collect information about you from third parties.  However, we will only do so if it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect the personal information directly from you and we will take responsible steps to inform you if and when we do.
Barney Beach Accommodation Centre only collects personal information that is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, one or more of its functions or activities.  Barney Beach Accommodation Centre collects personal information from you in order to provide and charge for the accommodation and other goods and services you purchase.  We may also collect personal information about you to better understand your requirements and preferences, improve our services and to provide offers that may be of interest or benefit to you.  For example, when you fill out a contact form, we collect the details you enter to enable us to send information to you.  When you answer questions about what you would like to see or receive, we keep this information so as to better serve you.  If you do not provide the personal information requested from you for these purposes, we may not be able to carry on our business and provide our services to you.
There may be instances in which the personal information that you provide to us or that we collect in considered “sensitive information”.  The Privacy Act defines “sensitive information” to mean personal information from which we can determine or infer an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional association or trade union, sexual preferences or practices, criminal record and health, biometric and genetic information.  We will only collect and process sensitive information about you in accordance with, and to the extent permitted by, the APPs.
