The type of personal information we collect and hold
Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

We will ask for a broad range of personal information which is necessary for us to provide you with our services. The type of personal information we ask for will depend on which of the travel products with OIPL you book on and the type of product or service you choose.
If we are not able to collect personal information about you we may not be able to provide you with the products, services or assistance you require. The collection, use or disclosure of your personal information is needed to provide these.
We will generally ask for the following types of personal information:

We will combine or link personal information we already know about you to other personal information we collect about you.

• understand your requirements and provide you with a product or service;
• set up, administer and manage our products and services,
• get a better understanding of you, your needs, your behaviours and how you interact with us, so we can engage in product and service research, development and business strategy including managing the delivery of our services and products via the ways we communicate with you.

Use and disclosure
We use and disclose your personal information for the purposes we collected it. Please refer to “Purposes of collection of personal information” section to understand what these purposes may be.

Parties to whom we disclose and collect your personal information As detailed in “Ways we collect your personal information” section there are a range of people and organisations (‘parties’) to whom we disclose your personal information and collect personal information from – that are not you. These may be parties related to OIPL or third parties. The particular party will depend on which company or brand in OIPL you do business with and what product or service you receive.
Some examples of the parties to whom we may disclose your personal information to and collect personal information from are:
• other companies within the OIPL and other trading divisions or departments within the same company

We hold your personal information in:
• computer systems;
• electronic databases;
• digital records;
• telephone recordings; and
• in hard copy or paper files.

These storage mechanisms may be managed in a number of ways. They may be managed or administered internally by a company in OIPL and may be held locally in Australia. Or they could be managed by a third party storage provider with whom OIPL has a contractual relationship and be either managed locally and/or overseas. We will take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and loss, as well as unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. The ways we do this include:
• limiting physical access to our premises;
• restricting electronic and physical access to personal information we hold;
• having in place stand-by systems and information backups to deal with major business interruptions;
• maintaining technology security products;
• requiring any third party providers to have acceptable security measures to keep your personal information secure; and

We maintain industry standard technology and procedures in respect of our information management and provision of online services. OIPL has an on-going program of review and enhancement of its security measures. The reviews and updates address such matters as security and information management policies, processes and procedures, and technology reviews such as software, virus protection and fire wall settings. OIPL’s systems and information technology infrastructure are regularly audited both by internal and external experts.
E-mail transmissions to OIPL, are not necessarily secure. If you have any concern about the security of the contents of your e-mail or any other transaction over the Internet then you should consider contacting us by other means. OIPL does however employ strong encryption techniques and the use of firewalls similar to financial institutions and internet transaction systems globally. If you make a transaction involving the submission of personal information over the Internet to OIPL using one of our online forms then the OIPL employs that encryption technology. Once OIPL has received your personal information, it is stored and protected by a range of security controls, including firewalls, user identification requirements and audit trails.
OIPL trains its employees and representatives in their privacy obligations, applies confidentiality obligations and provides authorised persons with user identifiers, passwords or other access codes to control access to your personal information.
