What Personal Information is Collected and Why
When you submit your details using the "Contact Us", “General Enquiry”, or “Booking Enquiry” form, or any other form on the Website that requires you to submit your details, we need to collect personal information about you, including (but not limited to) your name and contact details and any other information you provide. The reason we need this personal information is so that we can communicate your personal information to the listing provider or advertiser regarding your enquiry. We may request a more specific purpose at the point we collect your personal information if necessary.
Distribution of Personal Information
Coastal Stays Australia will not sell or trade personal information about you to or with third parties, other than by providing the listing provider or advertiser that you have specifically selected to contact when using one of our contact forms on the Website. By using the Website and submitting your personal information in any of these ways, you consent to Coastal Stays Australia communicating your personal information to the specific listing provider or advertiser. Our listing providers and advertisers have also been made aware of their obligations regarding the privacy of your information that has been submitted to them, however Coastal Stays Australia cannot be held responsible for the actions of those listing providers and advertisers.
