What is “Personal Information”?
Personal Information means any information or an opinion about you that identifies you, or from which your identity can reasonably be determined, whether the information is true or not and whether the information is recorded in a material form or not.

Information we collect about you
We collect information about you that we reasonably need for our business functions and activities. Our business functions and activities include:

Providing you with iGo Travel and other products and services – these are described generally on our website, our product pages, advertising, and our letters, emails and communications to customers, suppliers and business partners
Activities in support of those functions including administration, management, marketing, online and mobile marketing, IT, legal, security, customer support, finance (including credit control) and human resources
Activities we plan for the future including new ways of communicating, new products and services, new business models and new businesses.

Generally we collect the following personal information about you:

Your name
Your contact details including residential or business address, telephone number and email address
Company details (if applicable)
Date of birth

We may combine your contact details above with other information about you, for example:

If you login to our website we may collect details about your user name, site usage and travel preferences including preferred travel products and services
We keep records of your travel including service provider, travel itinerary, payment details (including credit card details) and other details;
Your employer (If applicable);
If your business or employer supplies us with products or services, or if your business or employer distributes, sells or services our products, we collect information about your trading with us (for example the products and services you buy or sell or the products and services you provide), your trading history and account history
If you apply for a position with us, we collect information to help us decide your application, including your date of birth, work history and similar details
If you request information from us (for example about a travel product or service) or register a complaint, we collect information about your request or complaint
If you enter a promotion or competition, visit us at an event or enquire about iGo Travel, we may collect your contact details so that we can follow up on your enquiry or interest by sending you marketing material

We record this information (personal information) in our database whilst we deal with you. We will remove this information from our database when we have no further need to keep a record of it, except if we are required to keep it by law (for example, for tax or for superannuation purposes).

How do we collect personal information?
We collect personal information directly from you. We may record your contact details when you call us, when you register and login to our website, when you purchase a product or service, when you participate in a transaction, when you provide your contact details via web, mobile or email or when you ask us for information or request something from us. Sometimes we collect personal information about you from another person or business, or from a publicly available source. For example: Your employer may give us your details in relation to booking a travel product or service;

If you are an employee of one of our business partners (e.g. supplier, agent or contractor), we may be given your name and contact details by your employer
If you enter a networking event, promotion or competition organised by us, we may be given your name and contact details by the promoter of the event
Our service providers may provide us with your personal information from websites, social media sites, mobile, and other technology based sources.

We use lawful and fair means to collect your information. We will collect personal information about you from another person or from a publicly available source only if it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect it directly from you, and we will take reasonable steps to inform you that we have collected your personal information. Those reasonable steps may include informing you through this privacy policy.

Unsolicited information
If we receive personal information about you that we have not requested, and if we determine that we could not have lawfully collected that information under privacy law if we had requested it, we will destroy or de-identify the information, if it is lawful and reasonable to do so.

Do I have to provide you with my personal information?
You can deal with us anonymously (without giving us your name and contact details) or by using a pseudonym (a name that does not include your real name, for example an email address or a username that you use in an online forum (nickname)).

If you choose to deal with us anonymously or using a nickname, we can give you general information about our products and services, and you may be able to purchase products and services from us for cash or participate in any online forum we provide, but there are some things we cannot do, for example:

If you do not give us your personal information we cannot give you information about travel you (or your employer) may have booked or deal with a complaint you may have, provide you with a service or deliver a product or service to you at an address. You cannot attend one of our networking events, or enter into one of our promotions anonymously or using a nickname.

You can deal with us using a nickname together with your real name and contact details. If you choose to deal with us in this way, we may collect your personal information together with your nickname. When you identify yourself to us using your nickname only, we can deal with you only as described above. We may ask you to provide proof of your identity if you use a nickname.

Why we collect personal information about you (purpose of collection)
We collect and record personal information about you so that we can carry out our functions and activities described above. The primary purposes for which we collect your personal information include:

So that we can provide our products and services to you and to our business clients
So that we can administer our dealings with you (and your employer if applicable), to provide you with information and to respond to any requests that you may have (for example, so that we can administer and provide you with travel information)
So that we can function as a business, for example, we may collect your personal information for research, marketing or so that we can offer new products, reconcile transactions, or if you are a supplier so that we can record your dealings with us
So that we can comply with agreements we have entered into with our suppliers and agents

We also collect your personal information for certain secondary purposes that are related to the primary purposes outlined above. Secondary purposes may include so that we can run our business efficiently, for example, so that our advisors can provide us with customer research, or so that we can use technology to automate our business and to understand how our business is performing, to allow us to operate efficiently and to lower costs by outsourcing services (such as collecting or paying money). Other secondary purposes may include so that we can sell or transfer our business or merge with another business.

Who do we disclose your personal information to?
We do not use or disclose your personal information for a purpose other than:

A purpose set out in this privacy policy (primary or secondary purpose above)
A purpose you would reasonably expect
A purpose required or permitted by law
A purpose otherwise disclosed to you to which you have consented
