Should you refuse to consent to that collection, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify that Information.

How we use your Information

  1. 13. We will only use your Information to the extent permitted by the law. We may use the Information you provide to us or which we collect for the following range of purposes, including:

      2. b. Collect and recover money owed to us; and

    • To provide you with checkout assistance when you use our website or services (including any online e-commerce stores). If you do not complete your purchase/booking, we may contact you using these details to offer our assistance (in case, for instance, you were experiencing technical difficulties that prevented you from completing a transaction)
    • To manage our relationship with you which will include:
      1. a. Notifying you about changes to our terms and conditions or Policy;
      2. b. Asking you to leave a review or take a survey
    • To enable you to partake in a prize draw, competition or complete a survey

    • To deliver relevant website content and advertisements to you and measure or understand the effectiveness of the advertising we serve to you.
    • To use data analytics to improve and enhance our existing products, services and applications and develop new offerings, recommendations, advertisements and other communications and learn more about customers’ preferences in general.
    • To make suggestions and recommendations to you about goods or services that may be of interest to you, including carrying out surveys to better understand your preferences.

    • To create and manage customer database(s). As part of our ongoing customer relationship management activities, we may consolidate several databases into one or otherwise link separate databases to more effectively manage your accounts. Information may be linked via a unique identifier, such as a cookie or account number.

      Alternatively, we may decide to combine two or more databases into a single database of customer information.

    • To consider employing you if you contact us via one of the job application areas or pages of our websites.
  2. 14. We will only use your Information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If you wish to get an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us using the details set out at the bottom of this Policy.
  3. 15. If we need to use your Information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.

Cookies Policy

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer’s browser. Many cookies from websites will be visible from your browser. You will usually find information on cookies and how to manage them under “options” or “settings” in your browser. You can choose to see cookies before deleting them and to keep cookies from some sites.

There are several different types of cookies (some of which are used on Grand Hotel Group’s website):

  • First party cookies: A “first party” cookie is sent from a website to your web browser when you visit that site. This is how websites “record” or “remember” things like your customised settings (such as your location), your shopping cart contents and your log in details.
  • Temporary cookies: Temporary cookies generally only last for one browsing session (until you close your web browser).
  • Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain on your computer after you close your browser and will be sent back to the applicable website each time you visit it.
  • Third party cookies: Third party cookies are sent by businesses that provide content, such as advertising, on websites that you visit. Many websites feature advertising from third parties and those third parties may use cookies to track your browsing activities. They will normally use this information to “show” you targeted advertising – that is, advertising relating to products or services they think you will be interested in based on your prior web searches.
  • Tracking/web pixels (also known as “web beacons”): Tracking pixels are clear picture files used to keep track of your navigation through a single website or a series of websites. Tracking pixels are normally used by websites that use third party traffic monitoring and tracking services.
  • Local Stored Object cookie or “flash cookies”: Flash cookies contain more information than the other kinds of cookies referred to above and are not generally cleared when you clear cookies in your web browser.

Why and how does Grand Hotel Group use cookies?

  1. 17. Generally we use cookies to learn about the way you interact with Grand Hotel Group’s content and to help us to improve your experience when visiting Grand Hotel Group’s website.
  2. 18. Grand Hotel Group may record your visit through the use of cookies and may log the following information for purely statistical purposes:
    • Your server address;
    • Your top-level domain name (eg. .com, .gov, .uk, etc);
    • The date and time of your visit to Grand Hotel Group’s site;
    • The pages accessed and documents downloaded by you;
    • The previous site(s) visited by you; and
    • The type of browser used by you.

    Most of the information collected by cookies will not be sufficient to identify you – this is because the information collected will be very “general” in nature, relating to your interests (i.e. the products you have looked at) and the websites you have visited previously. Information collected via cookies will only be deemed to be “personal

    information” for the purposes of the Privacy Act or the Australian Privacy Principles if it makes you or any other individual reasonably identifiable.

    Grand Hotel Group will not facilitate the merging of personally-identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information collected through any cookies, tracking/web pixels or Google advertising products or features, unless it has robust notice of and the relevant party’s consent to that merger.

Third party cookies

  1. 19. Third party cookies are sent by different organisations (such as businesses which provide content such as advertising) to the owner of the website you are visiting – so in this instance this means by organisations other than Grand Hotel Group.
  2. 20. Third party cookies are used on Grand Hotel Group’s website to enable remarketing and reporting for impression assisted visits, website conversions, user demographics and user interests.
  3. 21. The third party cookies we use on our website include (but are not limited to) :
    • Google Analytics: Grand Hotel Group uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. Reports obtained from Google Analytics are used to help improve the efficiency and usability of Grand Hotel Group’s website.

      Google Analytics uses first party cookies and JavaScript code to gather statistics about how this website is accessed. It anonymously tracks how our visitors interact with this website, including which website they came from previously and what they did on the site (i.e. which pages they visited). The information generated by the cookie and JavaScript code about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers located outside of Australia.

      Google will use the information transmitted to it for the purposes of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may transfer this information to third parties where it is required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

    • Google Analytics Advertising Features: Grand Hotel Group also uses Google Analytics Advertising Features. By enabling the Advertising Features, Grand Hotel Group enables or permits Google Analytics to collect data about the traffic to Grand Hotel Group’s website via the use of Google advertising cookies and identifiers, in addition to the data collected through the standard Google Analytics feature.

      The Google advertising cookies are used to, among other things; select advertising for users based on what is relevant to them, to improve reporting on campaign performance and to avoid showing ads the user has already seen.

Nitropack: a lightweight WordPress plugin for website performance optimisation. Cookies are used to deliver services and to analyse traffic, comprising of essential cookies for basic functions of the website and traffic analysis, as well as optional Cookies to better learn how NitroPack is used.

How can I manage, reject and/or delete cookies?

  1. 22. We will not use cookies to collect Information about you.
  2. 23. However, if you do not want Information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to deny or accept the cookie feature.

As noted above, Grand Hotel Group sometimes links to or embeds content from other websites and organisations. Grand Hotel Group does not control the dissemination of third party cookies from these sites. In order to manage and/or reject and delete third party cookies, you will need to refer to the privacy policies of the relevant third party website(s).
