The Tailor Pty Ltd (‘TT‘) and any related entities (as that term is referred to in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)), collectively referred to as ‘we‘, ‘us‘ and ‘our’, are bound by the National Privacy Principles (‘NPPs‘) contained within the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (‘Act’), and the General Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) (‘GDPR‘) TT is committed to the protection of your Personal Information in accordance with the NPPs and the GDPR. This Privacy Policy describes TT’s personal information handling practices and applies to each and every individual who uses TT website(s) and or our Services. It explains in general terms how we collect, store, use and disclose your personal information, and sets out your right to request access to information that we hold about you.

Scope and Your Consent

This Privacy Policy will apply to any Personal Information you provide to us when making an enquiry, making a travel, accommodation or activity booking, using our Website(s) (ie www.thetailor.com or any other websites operated by us), under any agreement or arrangement that we enter into with you, or otherwise in the course of our dealings with you (‘Services‘)

When making enquiries and by accepting the terms and conditions when making any booking through our Website(s) or otherwise or providing us with Personal Information or Sensitive Information, you will be deemed to have consented to us collecting, using and disclosing your Information (within and outside Australia) in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

If this Privacy Policy is not acceptable to you, please do not use our Website(s) or use our Services.

This Privacy Policy will also apply to any information that is provided to us by a travel agent or other third party in relation to your travel plans.

Personal Information has the meaning given under the Act but generally includes information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

Sensitive Information is the information that we collect about you may include some Sensitive Information (e.g. health information), which is relevant to your travel, and activity plans. Under the Act, we are required to obtain your consent to the collection and use of any Sensitive Information. We will assume that you have consented to the collection, use and disclosure by us of any Sensitive Information, which you provide to us for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless you tell us otherwise.

Collection of Personal Information

 We only collect Personal Information, which is necessary in connection with our business purposes and to provide you with the Services you require.

For travellers, the purposes for which we collect Personal Information include:

  • To contact you, answer your queries and provide you with information in relation to travel options, accommodation and adventure activities; and
  • When requested to do so, arrange and book travel, accommodation and adventure activities on your behalf, invoice you for confirmed travel arrangements, and to complete related transactions.

For homestead owners and activity providers, the purposes for which we collect Personal Information include:

  • To market and promote your homestead and/or the activities and services you provide to travellers; and
  • To make bookings for travellers at your facilities and to provide travellers with your contact details.

The specific type of Personal Information collected and used by us varies according to the purpose for collection. However, in general this information includes:

  • in relation to travellers: your name, addresses, contact details (eg telephone numbers, facsimile number, home and business address and email address), flight and other travel details, credit card details (ie card type, security number, card holder name, expiry date and issuing bank and country to pay for products and services offered), billing address, dietary requirements (if any), any health issues that may be relevant to your proposed travel or adventure activity arrangements, and information regarding past transactions or dealings that we have had with you, including information about any special requirements that you may have; and
  • In relation to homestead owners and activity providers: your name, address, contact details (eg. telephone numbers, facsimile number, home and business address and email address), and details about your property and/or the activities and services you provide to travellers, including cost and availability.

 

How do we collect the Personal Information

We collect most of the Personal Information we require directly from you by way of written forms, by telephone, in person, by our representatives, via our websites, or by written correspondence from time to time. We may also collect Personal Information about you from third parties, such as from people making travel bookings on your behalf, or from travel agents, booking agents, travel representatives, or homestead owners whom you have contacted regarding travel or accommodation arrangements.

Before providing us with any details about a guest / accompanying traveller you must ensure that the individual is aware of the disclosure of their information to us and the purposes for which the information is collected and used by us and the individual’s ability to request access to the information that we hold about them.  Our Privacy Policy applies equally to any guest or accompanying traveller.

It is important that we collect the information we require about you. Without this information, we may not be able to provide you with our travel and accommodation information and booking services.

Before providing us with personal information about another individual, you must first ensure that the other individual is aware of:

  • The disclosure of their information to us and the purposes for which the information is collected and used by us; and
  • The individual’s ability to request access to the personal information that we hold about them, and to advise us if they think the information is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

  • Without us taking any further steps as required by the Act or the GDPR, we may collect, use and disclose such Personal Information for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, and

Tracking Tools / Cookies

We may from time to time use ‘cookies’ to store your preferences, record session information and collect information on how you visit and access our Site. This information allows us to continually improve our services to provide you with a better overall experience.

Cookies are small files stored on your computer, tablet or other mobile device which allow us to recognise when you return to the Site.

You may from time to time have third party’s advertisements and promotional content delivered to you to ensure that we are showcasing deals that are relevant to you.

Necessary Cookies

These cookies are necessary for our website to function and as such are automatically installed. For example:

  • Helping route the website to your browser efficiently using our IT infrastructure.
  • Saving your data on multi-page forms/checkouts (of any).
  • Letting you share or like our content on social networks like Facebook and Twitter if the relevant widgets are present on our pages. If you are logged into a social network, these widgets will automatically let you share content to your account if you choose.

Preference Cookies

These cookies save your preferences for any customisation of the website and are installed if you make a customisation.

Statistical Cookies

These cookies help us determine user behaviour on the website by reporting on your session. These technologies do not cross-reference your browsing with data from other websites. If you are located in the European Economic Area, we ask each tool to only use a session cookie (ie. one that instructs the browser to clear it once you’ve finished your session).

Technologies used:

  • Google Analytics (Privacy Policy | Opt Out) for tracking general & custom behaviour on the website. We use all options that Google Analytics provides for maximising your privacy including instructing it to anonymise your IP address, transmitting data by an SSL connection only and manually stripping out any personally identifiable information before transmitting to Google Analytics.

Third Party Tracking/Marketing Cookies

These cookies cross-reference your browsing with data from other websites to provide us with more accurate aggregated reports and to enable us to serve you personalised ads, including ads based on your browsing behaviour on this website. This functionality is aggregated: we do not use any provider that allows us to see your specific data or to create an ad specifically for you. If you are located in the European Economic Area, we do not use these cookies.

Technologies used:

  • Google Analytics Doubleclick (Privacy Policy | Opt Out) for providing us aggregated reporting of your demographics & interests as determined by Google from any Google accounts you have, as well as allowing us to serve you ads on third party websites based on your browsing behaviour.
  • Google AdWords (Privacy Policy | Opt Out) as above but this also allows Google to deduplicate your browsing sessions to this website across multiple browsers/devices for the purposes of tracking conversions.
  • Facebook Ads (Privacy Policy | Opt Out) allows us to serve you ads based on your browsing behaviour on our website as well as see aggregate reports that deduplicate your browsing sessions to this website across multiple browsers/devices.

A/B Testing and Personalisation Cookies

This functionality is aggregated: we do not use any provider that allows us to see your specific data or to create an ad specifically for you. If you are located in the European Economic Area, we do not use these cookies.

CRM and CRM-Like Cookies/Tracking

Technologies used:

  • Hotjar (Privacy Policy | Opt Out) for generating usage heatmaps & browsing session recordings. Hotjar automatically removes any personally identifiable information from these reports.

Opting out

 If at any time you no longer wish to receive any additional marketing or survey material from us or do not want your information disclosed for direct marketing or survey purposes, contact our Privacy Officer using the details below and we will remove your details from our marketing database.

 

Storage and Disclosure of Personal Information Off-Shore

Personal Information you provide to us may be stored on TT’s members’ and/or its vendors’ servers in countries other than the jurisdiction in which your Personal Information was collected.

If you access another TT website or a partner or service website (e.g. accommodation bookings, airline) from our Website(s), you may be transferring to another country and to a website over which we have no control and take no responsibility. If you provide Personal Information using another TT website or a service website, you do so subject to the privacy laws (if any) in that jurisdiction.

Similarly, if you request us to assist you with other goods or services, we may disclose your Personal Information to our agents, contractors, service providers and program partners who are located overseas when arranging or making inquiries in respect of those goods or services.

While TT has privacy rules in place to protect your Personal Information, the overseas recipient may not be subject to privacy obligations or to any principles similar to the Act or the NPP’s. It is possible that information will be transferred to a jurisdiction where you will not be able to seek redress under the Act and that does not have an equivalent level of data protection as Australia. The overseas recipient may also be subject to a foreign law which could compel disclosure of Personal Information to a third party, for example, an overseas authority.

We will not be accountable for how these overseas recipients handle your personal information. By providing your personal information to us, you consent to our disclosure of your Personal Information to these overseas recipients.

If you have any concerns regarding the transfer of your Personal Information overseas, or if at any time you wish to withdraw your consent, please contact our Privacy Officer.

Please note that if you withdraw your consent we may not be able to provide the Services you have requested in whole or in part or those Services may be compromised or otherwise not function properly.

Considerations when you send Information to us electronically

While we take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to protect your Personal Information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including investing in security software, no data transfer over the internet is 100% secure.

The open nature of the internet is such that information exchanged via the internet may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended. If you send us any information, including (without limitation) Personal Information, it is sent at your own risk.

Please be aware that we provide links to third-party websites as a service to our users, and that we are not responsible for the content or information collection practices of those pages. Please note that these websites’ privacy policies may differ from our Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review and understand their privacy practices before providing them with information.

Similarly, if you access a partner or service website (e.g. hotel, airline) from our Website, you do so and provide Personal Information in accordance with the terms and conditions, and the privacy policy, under which the provider of that website operates.

 

Security

TT endeavors to keep our information systems and files secured from unauthorised access. Our procedures to securely store Personal Information include electronic and physical security measures, staff training and use of password protection software.

In the event of a security breach leading to accidental loss, disclosure or access to your Personal Information, we will comply with all our Act obligations including notifying you of such breach where required by law to do so.

When the Personal Information we collect is no longer required, we will remove or de-identify the Personal Information as soon as reasonably possible. TT may, however, retain Personal Information for as long as is necessary to comply with any applicable law, for the prevention of fraud, for insurance and governance purposes, in our IT back-up, for the collection of any monies owed and to resolve disputes.

This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

Your rights regarding your Personal Information

You may:

  • Withdraw any consents given in relation to the handling by us of your Personal Information;
  • Request access to your Personal Information;
  • Request that we correct Personal Information that is inaccurate or out of date; or

Request that we delete certain Personal Information, by contacting our Privacy Officer using the details below. We will take reasonable steps, consistent with our obligations under the Act and, where relevant, the GDPR, to correct or delete that information if you so request. For security purposes, before we provide you with any Personal Information, we will ask you to provide evidence of your identity.

You may request the source of any Personal Information we collect from a third party. We will provide this unless under the Act or other law there is a reason for this information being withheld.

If you are located in a European Union Member State in which we offer goods or services, to the extent we are subject to the GDPR, you may request that we transfer your Personal Information to another organisation.

If there is a reason under the Act or other law for us not to provide you with any of your Personal Information, we will give you a written notice of refusal setting out the reasons for the refusal (except to the extent it would be unreasonable or unlawful to do so) and advise you of the mechanisms available to you to complain about the refusal.
