Privacy

Your details, and what happens to them

We follow the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988. This is the plain version.

What we collect

Only what you type into the room request form: your name, email address, phone number if you give one, the number of guests, arrival and departure dates, the room type, the purpose of the trip, your notes, and your consent. The form also records which page you sent it from. We do not ask for card details, ever.

Why

To answer your request: to check availability and the rate with the hotel or its booking partner, and to email or call you back. We pass on only the details needed for that. We do not sell, rent or trade your details, and we do not add you to a mailing list.

What we do not collect

The Google map

On the home page the map is a button. It loads Google Maps only when you press it, and at that point Google receives your IP address and the usual browser information under its own privacy policy. On the Getting here page the map is embedded directly and loads when you scroll to it. Links to Google Maps open Google's site.

Hosting and email

The site is hosted on DigitalOcean servers in Sydney and served through Cloudflare, which processes connection data such as IP addresses to deliver pages and block attacks. Cloudflare operates internationally, so some of that processing may happen outside Australia. Email to hello@ is delivered through Cloudflare's email routing to our mailbox.

How long we keep it

We keep a request for as long as we need it to answer you and to confirm whether a stay went ahead, and no longer than that needs. You can ask us to delete it at any time.

Your rights

You can ask what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Write to hello@alicespringsbasecamp.com. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. oaic.gov.au.

Ask our desk for a room

Two short steps. Our booking desk checks the dates with the hotel or its booking partner and replies by email with what is available and the price. We never ask for a card, and this is not yet a booking.

When, how many, which room
Step 1 of 2

Request received. Our desk replies by email, usually within one business day, with availability and the rate. Nothing is booked yet.

We are paid a commission by the hotel or the booking partner only if a request sent here turns into a confirmed stay. You pay the normal rate. How this site earns.
