Privacy & Security

Ursula King Travel, in compliance with the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000, provides the following statement:

Ursula King Travel will only collect information that is necessary for its functions and activities including the maintenance and improvement of its client service standards.

Ursula King Travel will not disclose to any third party any sensitive information without your consent or non-sensitive information unless it is related to the purposes of collection.

Ursula King Travel will take reasonable steps to protect the information held from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Any individual seeking access to personal information about him/herself held by Ursula King Travel will be granted access to such information unless particular circumstances (as prescribed by the Act) apply that enable Ursula King Travel to limit the extend of the access granted.

 

Authority

The law has been changed recently to allow the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to obtain travel information from travel agents in the event of a major problem overseas so that tracking of Australian residents who may be in the area can be undertaken as quickly as possible. We will therefore, request your written permission to give out information to DFAT if we are requested to do so. If you do not wish to disclose such information to us, then you must contact the embassy of each country of destination and make your own arrangements in regard to entry to that country.

 

Disclosure

You must ensure your Australian passport has a validity of six months after your return date to Australia and advise us if you wish us to make any necessary visa application on your behalf. In the event that you are travelling to a country or countries which do not require a visa for Australian passport holders, you must tell us if you have been arrested or convicted in respect of any offence or breach of law. Non disclosure of this information may lead to your being refused entry on arrival in certain countries. In that event, we take no responsibility whatsoever.

If you do not wish to discuss such information to us, then you must contact the embassy of each country of destination and make your own arrangements in regard to entry to that country.

Should Ursula King Travel no longer require the information collected, it will take the reasonable steps to destroy or permanently erode any identification/personal information.
