ADG is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, and is committed to protecting your privacy when you are interacting with our website, using our services or visiting our Airports.
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to tell you the kinds of personal information that we may collect, how we may use or disclose that information, and the options you have in regards to accessing or correcting your personal information or making a complaint.
This Privacy Policy is current as at 8 June 2018. We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time, without notice to you, to ensure that it is maintained to the highest standard. The date of this Privacy Policy will inform you as to whether there have been updates since your last visit.

- The frequency of use of certain types of products or services.
- The methods, purpose and frequency of travel.
- Your preferred destinations.

In the case of matters relating to security or airfield operations - for example, applications for an Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC), Visitor Identification Card (VIC) or other forms of identification card or an Authority to Drive Airside (ADA) at one of our airports - we may collect additional personal information in order to manage and administer our business systems and comply with our legislative obligations. This information includes:

When visiting our website we may automatically record details about any computer used to access our website. This may include the IP address, domain name, browser type, the date and the time of access and details of the information downloaded. These details are not capable of identifying you and are used solely for statistical analysis and research on usage patterns to improve this website.
HOW DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION?
Personal information will normally be collected directly from you when you deal with us by telephone, by correspondence through a letter, fax or e-mail, via our website, by making an application for an ASIC, VIC, ADA or other form of identification card, or through direct face-to-face contact.
Other ways in which we collect personal information include:
- Through the use of ‘cookies’ on our website. A cookie is a very small text file which is stored on your computer’s hard drive when you first visit our website.

WHAT IF YOU REFUSE TO PROVIDE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
Generally speaking, you are not obliged to provide us with personal information. However, failure to do so may mean that we are unable to enter into the relevant transaction with you, provide you with an appropriate level of service or process any application for the issue of an authority, licence, pass or permit.
