privacy policy.
last updated: 16 october 2026
this policy describes information handling in connection with getworkaway.com.au, an australian travel discovery website. privacy enquiries can be sent using the email link on our contact page.
information you provide.
if you email getworkaway, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address and enquiry. we use it to respond, follow up your request and manage relevant correspondence. please do not send payment-card details, passport copies or other sensitive booking information to us.
the contact link opens your email application. getworkaway does not collect booking payments or operate customer booking accounts. booking and payment details should be provided directly to your chosen travel provider.
technical information.
hosting, email and security services may process technical information such as ip addresses, browser details, access times and requested pages to deliver, secure and troubleshoot the website. enquiry information may also be stored in email services and backups used to manage correspondence.
cookies and analytics.
wordpress uses cookies for administrator sign-in and related site functions. travel providers and affiliate networks may use cookies or similar technology after you follow their links. you can manage or block cookies through your browser; some service features may then work differently.
the standard getworkaway website does not include advertising pixels or visitor analytics tags. if we introduce additional analytics, embedded services or marketing tools, we will update this policy to explain the services and information involved.
affiliate links and other websites.
when you follow an affiliate link, a provider or network may receive referral information to attribute a booking. its own privacy and cookie policies apply on that service. external diary sources, reference websites and travel providers also operate under their own policies. see our affiliate disclosure for more about referral links.
service providers and overseas processing.
information may be handled by the hosting, email, security and support services used to operate getworkaway, or disclosed where required by law. some services and external travel providers may process information outside australia. the locations depend on the services in use; contact us to ask about a particular enquiry or provider before sending sensitive information.
retention and security.
enquiry records are retained as needed to respond, manage the matter and meet applicable record-keeping obligations. contact us if you would like us to review whether correspondence can be deleted. we take reasonable steps to protect access to site administration and correspondence; no internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed completely secure.
access, corrections and privacy concerns.
use our contact page to request access to information you have supplied, ask for a correction or raise a privacy complaint. include enough detail to identify the enquiry without unnecessary sensitive information. we may need to verify your identity before providing records.
we will review your concern and aim to respond within 30 days. if it remains unresolved, you can seek guidance from the office of the australian information commissioner, including whether it can consider your complaint.
policy updates.
this policy may change when site features, services or information-handling practices change. the updated version and date will be published on this page.
