Scope

In this Privacy Policy (Policy), Complex Travel Group (we, us) means Complex Travel Group Pty Ltd and its related businesses RoundAbout Travel, Flat Beds, QFlyer and Y Premium. This Policy explains how we will handle and protect your personal information. It also explains how you may request to access and correct your personal information, how to make a privacy complaint and how we will handle complaints. We recommend that you review this Policy regularly as we may amend it from time to time to meet our legal obligations, reflect our current practices and ensure we are transparent about our information management. By continuing to deal with us, you accept this Policy as it applies from time to time.

Complex Travel Group operates from Australia and this Policy provides information in accordance with our obligations under the Privacy Act. By providing personal information to us, either directly or allowing another person to do so on your behalf, you acknowledge that this Policy will apply to how we handle your personal information. If you do not wish your personal information to be handled in accordance with this Policy, we recommend that you do not provide your personal information to us. If you do not provide us with all the personal information we request, or if you do not provide any consent we require to be authorised to collect and handle certain personal information, this may affect our ability to provide services to you or respond to your inquiry, request or complaint.

What Personal Information do we collect and how?

The personal information we usually collect about you includes your name, home address, telephone number, email address, credit and debit card details, details of your flight, passport details, other travel details and any special needs you may have.

An IP address is a series of numbers which identify your computer, and which are generally assigned when you access the internet. Alone, IP addresses are not personal information, but we may link IP addresses to other personal information we hold about you and use it for the purpose of fraud prevention and protection. In some circumstances we may need to collect personal information that is sensitive information.
