Peregrine & Gecko's Privacy Statement
Peregrine & Gecko’s respects your privacy.
This Privacy Statement explains in general terms how Peregrine and Gecko’s protects
the privacy of your personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (as amended by the Privacy
Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000). It will apply to any personal information you provide to us:
- When making a booking with us;
-
Via peregrineadventures.com, geckosadventures.com or other online sites
operated by Peregrine, Gecko’s and its contractors; and
- Under any other agreement or arrangement.
This Privacy Statement will also apply to any information about you that is
provided to us by someone else such as a travel agent.
What personally identifiable information is collected by Peregrine & Gecko’s?
The types of personal information that we collect from you will depend on the circumstances of
collection and on the type of service you request from us. These purposes include registering to
receive e-mail newsletters, requesting further information about our trips, making a booking or
simply asking a question about Peregrine & Gecko's. When you request us to make your travel
arrangements, we may collect details such as your name, address, flight and other travel details,
credit/debit card number and expiry date, billing address, telephone numbers, dietary requirements
(if any) and medical conditions relevant to your travel arrangements. As we are required by law to
obtain your consent to the collection of "sensitive information" we will assume that you have consented
to the collection of all information that is provided to us for use in accordance with this Statement,
unless you tell us otherwise. There may be occasions when we collect information about you from a third
party, for example from people booking travel on your behalf.
How is your Personal Information used?
When you supply information about yourself for a specific purpose, we use the information for only
that purpose (i.e. to provide the service or information you have requested). If making a booking
with us, additional information will be required for operational reasons.
We are also anti-spam, and do not share, sell or rent information to any third parties.
If you receive information from Peregrine & Gecko's, it is because you have asked to hear
from us, you have entered a competition and agreed to join our mail list, or a friend / colleague
has requested it on your behalf and you have confirmed this to us or we have contacted you through
publicly accessible directories or databases.
Security
Personally identifiable information is stored on servers that are not publicly accessible.
Further, personally identifiable information is only accessed by Peregrine & Gecko's employees on
a "need to know" basis. Credit Card details are NOT stored on our database when you book, or buy
products on our site.
Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties
We may disclose your personal information to third parties (for
example, to our contractors to whom we contract out certain services),
for the purpose for which the information was collected or for related
purposes, for example to provide you with a service that you requested.
Your information will also be shared between related companies in the
Peregrine Adventures Group where necessary to fulfil our purposes.
We engage third party contractors to perform services for us that involves the contractor handling
personal information we hold. For example, we currently engage third party contractors to:

- Process travel bookings made via peregrineadventures.com, geckosadventures.com and other online sites;
In these situations, we prohibit the third party contractor from using
personal information about you except for the specific purpose for
which we supply it.
Other than the above, we will not
disclose your personal information without your consent unless
disclosure is either necessary to prevent a threat to life or health,
authorised or required by law, reasonably necessary to enforce the law
or necessary to investigate a suspected unlawful activity.

fulfil the purposes set out in this Privacy Statement, for example: Airlines, hotels and
