Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so. The legal bases we rely on include:

Contractual Necessity

Processing that is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, such as processing rental bookings and managing your reservations.

Legitimate Interests

Processing that is necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as improving our services, preventing fraud, and ensuring network security, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights.

Legal Obligation

Processing that is necessary to comply with legal requirements, such as maintaining records for tax purposes or responding to lawful requests from authorities.

Consent

Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for specific purposes, such as receiving marketing communications.

Your Data Protection Rights

Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of receiving your request.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any personal data that is inaccurate or complete any data that is incomplete.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, or when you withdraw consent.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while we verify the accuracy of data you have contested.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to have this data transmitted to another controller where technically feasible.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects. We do not currently use automated decision-making that would fall under this category.

International Data Transfers

As an Australian company, we may transfer your personal data outside the EEA. When we do so, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, including:

  • Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
  • Ensuring the receiving country has been deemed to provide adequate protection
  • Other appropriate safeguards as permitted under GDPR

Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Specific retention periods depend on:

  • The nature of the data and the purpose for processing
  • Legal, regulatory, and contractual requirements
  • Legitimate business needs

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

  • Encryption of personal data where appropriate
  • Regular testing and evaluation of security measures
  • Access controls and authentication procedures
  • Staff training on data protection

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your data protection rights, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond to your request within one month, though this period may be extended by up to two months for complex requests.

Complaints

If you believe we have not handled your personal data properly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For EEA residents, this would be the data protection authority in your country of residence.
