1. About This Privacy Policy
Holiday Homes For Sale (“Holiday Homes For Sale”, “we”, “us” or “our”) operates the website HolidayHomesForSale.com.au.
Website: https://www.holidayhomesforsale.com.au/
We respect the privacy of our visitors, registered users, property buyers, property owners, real estate agents, agencies, advertisers and newsletter subscribers.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we may collect, why we collect and process that information, how it may be used and disclosed, how long it may be retained, and the choices and rights available to users.
We aim to handle personal information in accordance with applicable Australian privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and Australian Privacy Principles where they apply to us.
By using HolidayHomesForSale.com.au, creating an account, submitting an enquiry, subscribing to property alerts or a newsletter, submitting a property listing, or using a third-party login option, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We May Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use our website.
Information You Provide to Us
When you create an account, submit a form, contact us, submit or manage a property listing, subscribe to a newsletter or property alert, or make an enquiry, we may collect information such as your name, username, email address, telephone number, business or agency information, property information, enquiry details, messages and any other information you voluntarily provide.
If you create or manage a property listing, information provided for publication may include property descriptions, photographs, location information, pricing information, agent or agency information and contact details.
Information deliberately included in a publicly displayed property listing or public user profile may be visible to visitors to the website.
Property Enquiries
When you submit an enquiry regarding a property advertised on HolidayHomesForSale.com.au, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, message, the property you are enquiring about and related information.
The purpose of collecting this information is to process your enquiry and allow the relevant property advertiser, owner, real estate agent or real estate agency to respond to you.
Where appropriate, your enquiry information may therefore be provided to the agent, agency, owner or advertiser associated with the property.
Once your information has been provided to a third-party agent, agency, owner or advertiser, their own privacy practices may also apply to their handling of that information.
