This following document sets forth the Privacy Policy for the The George website, http://www.thegeorge.com.au.
The George is committed to providing you with the best possible customer service experience. The George is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), which sets out a number of principles concerning the privacy of individuals.
Collection of your personal information
There are many aspects of the site which can be viewed without providing personal information, however, for access to future customer support features you may be required to submit personally identifiable information. This may include but not limited to a unique username and password, or provide sensitive information in the recovery of your lost password.
Contact Us Form
When visitors use the Contact Us form the data collected is shown in the form and is transferred to our email / booking system. This information is not stored on the website or web server. The George will have access to the email address you provide, as well as any other personal information that you may choose to include in the contact form communication.
Sharing of your personal information
We may occasionally hire other companies to provide services on our behalf, including but not limited to handling customer support enquiries, processing transactions, recording your bookings, or managing our email. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service. The George takes reasonable steps to ensure that these organisations are bound by confidentiality and privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personal information.
Use of your personal information
For each visitor to reach the site, we expressively collect the following non-personally identifiable information, including but not limited to browser type, version and language, operating system, pages viewed while browsing the Site, page access times and referring website address. This collected information is used solely internally for the purpose of gauging visitor traffic, trends and delivering personalized content to you while you are at this Site.
From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in our privacy notice. If our information practises change in the future, the data that was acquired at the time of the policy change will be used in accordance with our new procedures.
