Privacy Policy

We respect the privacy of all our customers and business partners, and treat personal information (personal data) provided by you to us as confidential. We know that you are concerned how information about you is collected, processed, used and stored, and we appreciate you trusting that we will do so with every due care and diligence.

We have provided this Privacy Policy as an explanation of the information we collect, how we process and use it, and how the use of this information can benefit your experience on our web site and products and services we provide.

In order for us to operate effectively and provide you with the best experiences with our services, we may request and collect information that includes personal information that can identify you as an individual.

Your personal information can come to us via various channels, including but not limited to:

  • when you browse and interact with our website and/or use any mobile apps that we may make available –  such as making an inquiry, signing up for newsletter subscription or make brochure  requests or downloads
  • through your use of our products and services
  •  when you submit enquiries to us or provide us with you feedback
  • when you participate in our promotional offers, competitions or surveys
  • from third parties – such as partners we work with or public databases – where you have provided your consent to the third party or to us to that information sharing taking place or where we have a legitimate interest to use the personal information in order to provide you with our products and services

The types of personal information that we collect and process may include, but not be limited to (and may vary by jurisdiction):

  • personal details, such as your name, gender, date of birth, personal and work contact details (addresses, emails and telephone numbers)
  • payment and credit card information, such as bank accounts, name of cardholder, credit card number, credit card billing address and expiry date
  • information, feedback or content you provide regarding your interests and preferences
  • information relating to your use and interaction with our website and mobile apps

Some of the personal information which you provide to us are considered “sensitive personal information” under the privacy and data protection laws in specific jurisdictions – such as personal information from which we can determine or infer an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, health or biometric data. We only process sensitive personal information in your jurisdiction if and to the extent permitted or required by applicable law.

Except where required by local laws, we do not knowingly collect personal information from our websites from any children or minors. As a parent or legal guardian, please do not allow your children or minors to submit personal information without your permission.

We may also collect non-personally identifiable information about you, such as internet log information or visitor behaviour patterns when you visit our websites on your use of our websites, communication preferences, travel habits, aggregated data relative to your stays, and responses to promotional offers and surveys.</br></br>

We may collect, process and/or use the personal information which we collect in order to:

  • deliver our products and services to you
  • communicate and provide marketing and promotion to you
  • develop and improve our services to you
  • meet applicable legal and regulatory requirements
  • use it in other ways as required or permitted by law or with your consent

We will only collect, process and/or use the personal information where we are satisfied that we have an appropriate legal basis to do so. This may be because (i) you have provided your consent, (ii) our use of information is necessary for providing the products and/or services you have requested, and/or (iii) our use of your information is in our legitimate interest as a commercial organisation, such as to operate and improve our services (including for profiling and targeted advertising) and in a way proportionate and respects your privacy rights, (iv) necessary compliance with applicable laws, regulations, court orders or other legal process.

To the extent permissible by applicable law, we generally only keep your information for as long as is reasonably required for:

  • the purposes for which that personal information was provided
  • ongoing business need, including record keeping, fraud prevention, or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation
  • as necessary to meet legal, regulatory, tax or accounting needs

We take reasonable steps to safely and securely delete, dispose of, anonymise and/or block personal information when we no longer need it.

Information security: We endeavour to protect your personal information we maintain and have reasonable administrative measures to keep your personal information safe and secure and to protect it against accidental, unlawful or unauthorized destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. We will review, monitor and update these security measures to meet our business needs, changes in technology and regulatory requirements.

Information sharing: Insofar as reasonably necessary for us in delivering our products and services to you and for the purposes set out in this Privacy policy, we may share your personal information with the below parties. The specific kind of information we share will depend on your activities with us and only to the extent as required or permitted by law, and/or with your consent.

  • Our group entities
  • Our business partners and third parties involved in the delivery of our products and services to you – including those involved in a sale of all or part of our business operations or assets and those for business, operational and general administration
  • Our marketing and advertisement partners
  • Third party services providers which process data (including personal information) for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures
  • Our agents, advisors, consultants, other third party suppliers and/or services providers to assist us to operate effectively and provide you with the best experiences with our services
  • Other third parties when we have your consent or are otherwise permitted by law to do so

Information processing by third parties: we may outsource the processing of certain functions and/or information to third parties, which may be located in countries other than New Zealand, the country where your information is collected. We may also engage market research firms to assist us in  market research and quality assurance. When we do outsource the processing of your personal information to third parties or provide your personal information to third-party services providers, we oblige those third parties to protect your personal information with appropriate security measures.

You may always choose what personal information (if any) you wish to provide to us. Please note, however, some of our products and services to you may be affected if you choose not to provide certain details, for example, we cannot reply to you without a name or contact details.

If you provide us with your contact details (e.g. postal address, email address, telephone number or fax number), we may contact you to let you know about the products, services, promotions and events offered that we think you may be interested in. You can always choose whether or not to receive any or all of these communications by contacting us as described in Section 6 below.  In addition to you agreeing to this Privacy Policy, we may also ask you to give us a separate consent before we send you with these information or indicate how you would like to receive any communication (e.g. via email or regular mail). After you have indicated your preferences, you can always change them.

You may be aware that the European Union General Data Protection Regulation gives certain rights to individuals in relation to their personal information – including the right of access to the personal information we hold about them, right of rectification, right to erasure, right to restrict data processing, right to object to processing, right to data portability, right to complain to a supervisory authority, and right to withdraw consent.
