Media Privacy Policy
We at Lonely Planet are governed by privacy laws
throughout the world and adhere to a privacy
policy when dealing with personal information about individuals.
In relation to our journalism and publishing activities we will
apply our usual privacy practices if possible and practical. However
where it is not possible or practical, this media privacy policy
will apply.
Lonely Planet's media activities and personal information
You know what we're famous for, and we love doing
it! In publishing our fantastic range of print and digital travel
publications we occasionally collect and publish personal information.
This is in the context of publishing travel information and opinions
on places to stay, things to do and everything else travel related.
For our publishing activities we rely on some exemptions from privacy
requirements.
What information do we collect?
We collect information from many sources in order
to provide the best travel information that we can. In some cases
(mainly for preparing listings and reviews in our publications)
this will include personal information about individuals (things
like the name of an individual who runs a hotel, restaurant or tour
company). In order to present unbiased and accurate information
and opinion in our travel publications, we cannot always identify
ourselves. After all, we need to get the real story!
Who do we tell?
We may share personal information amongst companies
in the Lonely Planet family. We may
also disclose that information to our authors, some of whom are
on contract to us, to other contractors who help us put together
Lonely Planet publications, and where relevant to our business partners
who assist us in providing our publications.
Complaints, comments or corrections?
Lonely Planet is keen to share the views and
experiences of others but if you are unhappy that personal information
about you has been included in one of our publications, please let
us know. Remember, this means personal information about you as
an individual, not information or opinions about your business.
Where reasonable and possible we will remove that personal information
at the next practical opportunity - where it has been included in
one of our publications that may be the next reprint or next edition.
To correct or update your personal information, or if you have
any queries regarding personal information, please contact us at
privacy@lonelyplanet.com.au or by writing to us at Locked
Bag 1, Footscray, Victoria 3011, Australia.
