Use of collected information as agent
Any details collected from Aus World Travel customer is required in order to make your reservation and/or services. We usually do so as agent for or on behalf of travel service providers.

Accordingly, the consent you provide under this policy to the collection and use of personal information by us, applies equally to the parties whose products and services we sell. For example, if you purchase a flight from us, then under this Policy you will have consented to your personal information being provided to the airline to enable your flight to be booked.
We act as agent for or on behalf of many thousands of travel service providers, so it is not possible for us to set out in this Policy all of the travel service providers for whom we act nor exactly how each of these travel service providers will use your personal information.
