How is personal information collected?
Qantas Box Office is a preferential booking service offering priority seating
tickets for Australian and worldwide events. The privacy of individuals, including
our customers and clients, is of utmost importance to Qantas Box Office. This
includes information or opinions about you that we collect and record which
reasonably could be used to identify you.
In order to provide customers with a quality entertainment and ticketing service,
Qantas Box Office offers customers the ability to purchase tickets through our
call centre service and through the website, http://www.qantasboxoffice.com.au
It is through these services that Qantas Box Office may collect personal information
about our customers. The information collection will occur at the time you make
a purchase, or when you register as a Qantas Box Office member through our website. |
