Privacy
Bluff Lodge considers the responsible use
of your personal information to be of vital importance. Bluff Lodge is committed
to respecting your privacy.
In general, you can visit this web site without telling
us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.
However there are times when we may need information from you such as
asking to receive information from us. This information may include your
name, home or business address and e-mail address. Bluff Lodge will seek to let you know before we collect any personal information
from
you over the Internet. Bluff Lodge may need to share (partial)
information obtained with other organisations such as our accommodation
booking agents.
We will endeavour to limit the use of your information to the purpose for which
it was provided.
In general, Bluff Lodge operates within limits prescribed by the
Code of Practice of ADMA (Australian Direct Marketing Assn), rights you may
have
under the Australian Trade Practices Act, 1974 and in accordance with the Australian
Government's Privacy Act.
No attempt will be made to identify users or their browsing activities
except in the unlikely event of an investigation, where a law enforcement
agency may exercise a warrant to inspect our ISP's server logs. The statistics
and log files may be preserved indefinitely and used at any time and
in any way necessary to prevent security breaches and to ensure the integrity
of the information supplied by us.
On this site, IP addresses (the Internet address of a computer)
are logged to track a user's session while the user always remains
anonymous. We analyse* this data for certain trends and statistics, such
as which parts of our site users are visiting and how long they spend
there. In general, we do not link your IP address to anything personally
identifiable to you.
In those limited cases where session information
is not anonymous, the Bluff Lodge site will provide notice of the
practice and an opportunity to "opt out."
*When Bluff Lodge receives information
about your session or about you, we may also use it for research or
to improve
our site and the services we offer you. Bluff Lodge can not be
responsible however for information which indexing and site search
engines may extract from the web site - specifically visitor activity
and demographics.
Some Bluff Lodge web pages use "cookies," which are small
files placed on your hard disk for record-keeping purposes. A cookie
helps us remember who you are. Cookies can make your subsequent visits
to the web page simpler and more seamless. You can set your browser to
notify you when you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide
whether or not to accept it. (However, by not accepting cookies, some
web pages may not display properly or you may not be permitted to access
certain information). A server cannot find out a name or e-mail
address, or anything specific or intrusive about a user's computer, by
using cookies. Cookie information is not stored or collected by Bluff Lodge.
Once Bluff Lodge receives information from you via e-mail
or any other means, the information is in a secure environment. Your
personal
information will not be released unless the law permits it or your permission
is granted.
You need to be aware of inherent risks associated with the
transmission of information via the Internet.
If you have concerns in this regard, Bluff Lodge has other ways
of obtaining and providing information. Normal mail, telephone and mobile facilities
are available
- these are listed below, and on each page of the site.
