Privacy Policy

How Joyful Sunrise Pty Ltd collects, uses and protects your details — written in plain English because the legal version bored even our lawyer.

Short version
your details exist to plan your trip — we don't sell them, rent them or spam you

1. What we collect

Only what's needed to plan and run your trip. In practice that means:

  • Contact details — name, phone, email — so we can actually call you back.
  • Trip preferences — dates, group size, dietaries, mobility notes — the stuff that makes an itinerary fit.
  • Booking details — passport names and ID where airlines or permits legally require them.
  • Site basics — anonymised analytics on which pages get read, so we know what to improve.
What we never collect
browsing history outside our site, contact lists, or anything we can't explain a use for.

2. How we use it

One job: planning and operating your travel. Your details go to the designer working your brief, to the operators we book on your behalf (guides, lodges, venues), and into the itinerary we send you. If you ask to hear about new routes, we'll email you monthly — unsubscribe is one click, always.

We don't run ad profiles, we don't do creepy retargeting, and we don't sell lists. Not our business model, never will be.

3. Sharing & security

We share the minimum needed to deliver your booking — a lodge gets your name and dietary, not your life story. Our storage is encrypted, access is limited to staff who need it, and payment details go through our PCI-compliant gateway, never our own servers.

  • Suppliers see only what the booking requires.
  • We never sell, trade or rent personal information.
  • Records are kept under Australian privacy law (the Privacy Act 1988) and deleted when they're no longer needed.

4. Your rights

Ask us any time to see, correct or delete what we hold about you. Email the studio — same inbox as everything else — and we'll sort it within 30 days, usually much faster. If you believe we've mishandled something, you can also complain to the OAIC, though we'd love the chance to fix it first.

5. Questions & updates

This policy gets reviewed yearly and re-dated at the top. If something material changes we'll say so on the site — not buried in an email footer. Questions, requests or complaints: write to joyfulsunrise@gmail.com or call +61 7 5538 1246 in office hours.

Privacy, then planning

Ask us anything

Including the awkward data questions — we'd rather answer than have you wonder.
