Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
Albany Motel & Apartments is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information responsibly. We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), which set the standard for how businesses in Australia collect, use, and store personal information.
What information do we collect?
We collect information that helps us provide our accommodation services and improve your stay — including your name, contact details, and booking preferences. This helps us understand your needs and serve you better.
How we collect it
We only collect information you knowingly give us, through:
Phone or email enquiries
Our website's booking or contact forms
Check-in registration
Business cards or details you provide in person
Do we share your information?
We only disclose your personal information with your consent, or where required or authorised by law (for example, in response to a lawful request from a government agency).
Keeping your information accurate
We aim to keep your details accurate, complete, and up to date. Contact us anytime to update your information or flag anything incorrect.
How we protect it
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, unauthorised access, or disclosure. Once information is no longer needed, we securely destroy or de-identify it.
Can you access your information?
Yes — just contact us and we'll provide access to the personal information we hold about you. In some cases, we may be legally required to retain certain records even after your relationship with us ends.
Does your information leave Australia?
No, unless required or authorised by law.
Sensitive information
We only collect, use, or disclose sensitive information (such as health or other special category data) where permitted by law and, generally, with your consent.
Your right to complain
If you have privacy concerns, we want to hear about it first — write to our General Manager. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC): https://www.oaic.gov.au/
Policy updates
We review this policy regularly to reflect changes in law, technology, and how we operate. Significant updates will be reflected on this page with a new "last updated" date.
