Privacy Policy

Thank you for visiting ConferenceVenues.com.au, an online service managed by Conference Venues and Booking Services Pty Ltd. We respect and protect the privacy of our users. This privacy policy tells you how we collect and use information.

The term “Personal Information” in this privacy policy means any information from which your identity is apparent or can be reasonably ascertained. We do not collect Personal Information about you when you visit this online service.

Our obligations

This online service is bound by the provisions of the Commonwealth of Australia Privacy Act 1988. This is an Act to make provision to protect the privacy of individuals, and for related purposes.

Personal information (PII)

The term “Personal Information” in this privacy policy means any information from which your identity is apparent or can be reasonably ascertained.

If you contact us we will collect the email address you nominate and any other identifying information you provide, such as a name or phone number.

Who we share your information with

We do not disclose any PII except in the following circumstances:

  • Accommodation, holiday rentals and ground transportation suppliers: We provide the guest/passenger name, telephone number and (for Conference and Accommodation Bookings, and otherwise in exceptional circumstances only) email address for each booking made to the relevant supplier or its representatives to fulfil your booking. Our suppliers require this information for the booking and may use it if they need to contact you about the booking. Although we offer accommodation and conference venues from reputable suppliers, we encourage you to review the privacy policies of any supplier whose services you book on our website.
  • Third party service providers: We may share your PII with third parties we appoint to perform services on our behalf. For example, we use a technology platform provider to facilitate marketing campaigns controlled and managed by us. Our service providers are not permitted to use or share your PII for any purpose other than the purpose for which they are appointed.
  • Legal obligations: We may be required by law to disclose your PII or to service providers where we are investigating a serious complaint or potential illegal acts.

Other than as set out above, you will be notified when PII about you will be shared with third parties.

Disclosure of your information overseas

Your PII may be transferred to, stored and processed overseas where those third parties with whom we share it, as described in this policy, are located. Due to the nature of the accommodation and travel services offered to you many of the accommodation and conference service providers that we deal with are located overseas. As a consequence, it is not practicable to list the location of every service provider with whom we deal.

The recipient of your PII may be located in a country that might not provide an equivalent level of data protection. While we do take steps to help ensure that your PII is protected we cannot be accountable for how these recipients handle your PII. By providing your PII to us you consent to our disclosure of your PII to these parties. If you have any concerns regarding the transfer of your PII overseas please contact us.
