Privacy Policy
Purpose
Lake Lyell Recreation Park is bound by the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act). The APPs are designed to protect the confidentiality of information and the privacy of individuals by regulating the way personal information is collected, used, disclosed and managed. Personal information is information or an opinion relating to an identified, or reasonably identifiable, individual.
This policy explains the types of personal information that we may collect and hold, how that information is used and with whom the information is shared. It also sets out how you can contact us if you have any queries or concerns about this information.
Why Do We Collect Personal Information?
Lake Lyell Recreation Park collects personal information about its customers, suppliers, contractors, job applicants and other contacts to understand and meet their needs, to conduct our activities and meet legal obligations.
What Personal Information Do We Collect?
The types of personal information that Lake Lyell Recreation Park may collect include contact information (such as your name, address, email address, telephone number and vehicle registration), personal information including date of birth (if under 18 years old), and any feedback that you provide about our park, our website, or other matters.
Lake Lyell Recreation Park also collects statistical information about visitors to its website. Generally, this information cannot be used to identify particular individuals but in some circumstances it may include a visitor's internet protocol address, which could be linked to the individual.
Personal information may be collected by way of forms filled out by individuals (including via online forms), emails, telephone conversations, online user-generated content and market research, face-to-face meetings and interviews.
You may in some circumstances have the option of not identifying yourself or using a pseudonym when you deal with Lake Lyell Recreation Park. However, if you choose not to provide the information, we will not be able to fulfil your booking request.
How Might We Use and Disclose Your Personal Information?
Lake Lyell Recreation Park may use and disclose your personal information for the primary purpose of collection, or for reasonably expected secondary purposes which are related to the primary purpose, or for purposes to which you have consented, and in other circumstances authorised by the Privacy Act.
Generally, Lake Lyell Recreation Park may use and disclose your personal information for a range of purposes, including to:

We may disclose your personal information for the purposes set out above.
We may also disclose your personal information if it is required or authorised by law, where disclosure is necessary to prevent a threat to life, health or safety, or where we are otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act.
We do not sell or license your personal information to third parties.
Sensitive Information is Subject to Greater Restrictions
Some of the information we collect may be ‘sensitive information’, including information about an individual's date of birth and credit card details.
Lake Lyell Recreation Park may use and disclose your sensitive information for the primary purpose of collection, or for reasonably expected secondary purposes which are directly related to the primary purpose, or for purposes to which you have consented and in other circumstances authorised by the Privacy Act (e.g. where required or authorised by law to be disclosed, or where disclosure is necessary to prevent a threat to life, health or safety).
Security and Management of Personal Information
Lake Lyell Recreation Park will take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. The ways we do this include:
limiting physical access to our premises;
limiting access to the information we collect about you (for instance, only those of our personnel who need your information to carry out our business activities are allowed access);
requiring any third party providers to have acceptable security measures to keep personal information secure; and,
putting in place physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in line with industry standards.
If we no longer require your personal information and are not legally required to retain it, Lake Lyell Recreation Park will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify the personal information.
