Explorers Haven (ABN: 64629818453)

At Explorers Haven, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. As a travel information platform built on affiliate partnerships, our role is to connect you with reputable third-party travel service providers - we do not process bookings or accept payments directly on our website.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal data in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

1. Our Role as an Affiliate Travel Platform

Explorers Haven is a referral-based travel site that promotes products and services offered by our affiliate partners, such as economybooking.com, trip.com, localrent.com, Tiqets, and others. When you choose to book through links on our site, any personal details you provide are handled directly by those third parties under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before sharing any information.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect limited information necessary for communication or subscription purposes, including:

  • Your name

  • Email address

  • Basic inquiry or feedback details

Please note: We do not collect payment details, sensitive identity information, or booking confirmations - such data is managed solely by the third-party services you interact with.

3. How We Collect Your Information

You may share personal information with us in the following ways:

  • By subscribing to our newsletters or updates

  • By contacting us through our forms or via email

  • When you provide feedback voluntarily

If you're submitting information on behalf of someone else (such as family members), you confirm that you have their permission and that they understand this privacy policy.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal data to:

  • Respond to your messages or inquiries

  • Send travel tips, promotions, and updates (only if you’ve opted in)

  • Improve our website performance through anonymous analytics

You can unsubscribe from marketing emails anytime by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any of our emails.

5. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website uses cookies to provide a smoother, more personalized browsing experience. Cookies are small files stored in your browser that help us remember your preferences and improve website performance. We use:

  • Essential cookies - for basic site functionality

  • Performance cookies - to track site usage (e.g., time on page)

  • Consent tracking cookies - to manage your cookie preferences

You can adjust cookie settings in your browser at any time. However, disabling cookies may affect some website features.

6. External Links and Third-Party Services

Our platform includes links to third-party travel websites. When you leave our site:

  • You are subject to the privacy policies of those third parties

  • We are not responsible for their content, practices, or how they manage your data

Please review their privacy terms before proceeding with any bookings or data sharing.

7. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may disclose your data only:

  • If legally required by authorities or courts

  • With your explicit permission to trusted service providers (such as hosting or email services) that support our site operations

All third-party service providers working with us are contractually required to maintain high standards of data protection and confidentiality.

8. Data Security and Storage

Your personal information is securely stored using industry-standard technologies. Access is restricted to authorized personnel only. While we take every reasonable measure to protect your data, no method of internet transmission is completely secure. By using our site, you acknowledge that you provide information at your own discretion and risk.

9. International Data Transfers

Some of our affiliate partners operate globally, which means your data may be transferred outside Australia. Although we don’t control how external providers manage your information, we choose to work only with reputable partners. We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any international services you engage with.

10. Accessing and Updating Your Information

You are entitled to request access to the personal data we hold about you or to correct any inaccuracies. We will respond promptly and at no cost.
