Privacy Policy.

This policy explains how Prima Chauffeur Services collects, uses, stores, discloses and protects personal information when you visit our website, request a quote, make a booking, or travel with us.

Last updated: 25 September 2026

01
Who We Are

Prima Chauffeur Services is a registered business name of Prima Maintenance Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 19 614 615 717, ACN 614 615 717), a company incorporated in Australia and based in Sydney, New South Wales. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to that company.

We handle personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Where the Act does not strictly apply to a business of our size, we apply these standards as a matter of policy because we think they are the right ones.


This policy covers our website, our booking and quotation services, our travel agent portal, and the chauffeur and private transportation services we provide.

02
Information We Collect
Booking Information
  • Your name, email address and telephone number
  • Pickup and drop-off addresses
  • Airport, hotel, cruise terminal or other pickup details
  • Travel dates and times
  • Flight or cruise details, where needed to meet you
  • Number of passengers and luggage requirements
  • Child seat requirements
  • Special requests or service instructions
Communications

If you contact us by email, telephone, website form, SMS or WhatsApp, we retain what you send us so we can respond and manage your booking.

Website & Technical Information
  • IP address and approximate location
  • Browser, device type and operating system
  • Pages visited, date and time of visit, referring website
  • How you interact with pages — including recorded sessions, as described in section 08
03
How We Collect It

Where it is reasonably practical, we collect personal information directly from you. We may collect it:

  • When you make a booking or request a quotation
  • Through our website booking and enquiry forms
  • When you contact us by phone, email, SMS or WhatsApp
  • From a travel agent or agency booking on your behalf
  • Through payment and booking service providers
  • Automatically, through cookies and analytics tools on our website
Information About Other Passengers

If you give us personal information about another passenger, please make sure you are authorised to do so and, where appropriate, that they know their details have been given to us.

04
Addresses & Data Minimisation

Addresses are unavoidably personal, so we want to be precise about what happens to them rather than make a general promise we cannot keep.

What We Reduce

When you request an estimate through our website's price checker, we remove the street number from the pickup and drop-off addresses before the route is recorded in our website analytics. For example, “12 Smith Street, Bondi NSW” is recorded as “Bondi NSW”.

This lets us understand which routes people are pricing without keeping a log of precise street addresses for enquiries that never become bookings.

What We Do Not Reduce
  • Confirmed bookings. Your full address is collected and used, because your chauffeur has to arrive at your door.
  • Address search fields. Our address boxes use Google's address lookup service. What you type is sent to Google as you type it, including the street number.

We would rather tell you this plainly than imply a protection that does not exist.

05
How We Use It
  • Processing and managing your booking
  • Providing chauffeur and transportation services
  • Confirming pickup and drop-off arrangements
  • Monitoring flights for airport transfers
  • Providing quotations and invoices, and processing payments
  • Responding to enquiries and providing customer support
  • Managing complaints and disputes
  • Maintaining business, tax and financial records
  • Improving our website and services
  • Maintaining website security and preventing fraud or misuse
  • Complying with legal and regulatory obligations

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We do not use it for purposes unrelated to providing, managing or improving our services, except where the law requires or permits it.

06
Marketing

Where the law allows, we may use your contact details to send you information about our services, seasonal offers or relevant business updates.

Your Control
  • Every commercial email we send includes a working unsubscribe link, as required by the Spam Act 2003 (Cth)
  • You can also ask us to stop at any time by replying, or by emailing us at the address in section 21
  • We will action an opt-out request promptly

We will never make receiving marketing a condition of providing a service to you.

07
Cookies

Cookies are small files stored on your device. Our website uses them for:

  • Essential website functionality and security
  • Remembering your preferences, such as language
  • Understanding website traffic and measuring performance
  • Measuring advertising campaign performance
Being Straight With You

Our website currently loads its analytics and advertising cookies when you arrive, rather than asking first. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, and you can contact us to object to our use of them. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the website work.

08
Analytics, Session Recording & Advertising

Our website uses third-party services that collect information about how it is used. We want to name them individually rather than hide them behind a general reference to “analytics”.

Microsoft Clarity — Session Recording

We use Microsoft Clarity, which does more than count visits: it records your session. That means it captures mouse movement, clicks, scrolling and the pages you move through, and can replay that as a video of your visit. We use it to find broken layouts, confusing steps and errors.

Clarity is configured to mask the contents of form fields, so what you type into booking fields is not intended to appear in a recording. Microsoft processes and retains this information under its own privacy terms.

Google Translate

Our translation widget is provided by Google. If you translate a page, its content passes through Google's translation service.

Google Analytics & Google Ads

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic, and Google Ads conversion tracking to measure which advertisements lead to enquiries. These services use cookies and may associate your visit with Google's own records.

Google Maps & Places

Our address fields and maps are provided by Google Maps Platform. Address text you enter is sent to Google to return suggestions.

Opting Out
  • Browser settings can block or delete cookies
  • Google offers an Analytics opt-out browser add-on and ad personalisation controls in your Google account
  • You can email us to ask that we exclude you, and we will tell you honestly what we can and cannot do
09
Payments

Online card payments are handled by Stripe, a third-party payment processor.

To Be Clear

Your card number is entered on Stripe's own secure payment page, not on ours. We never see, receive or store your full card number, expiry date or security code. We receive only confirmation that a payment succeeded, along with limited details such as the amount and the last four digits.


Stripe collects and processes payment information under its own privacy policy and security standards, and your use of it is also subject to Stripe's terms.

10
Travel Agent Portal

We operate a portal for travel agents and agency partners. It involves two kinds of information.

Agent Information

When an agency applies for an account we collect business contact details, the agency name, country and state, and business identifiers such as an ABN. Account holders have login credentials.

Client Information Entered by Agents

Agents can store their own clients' names, phone numbers, email addresses and booking notes in the portal to make repeat bookings easier.

Where an agent enters information about a client, that agent is responsible for having the authority to do so and for telling their client how their information is handled. We use that information only to arrange and deliver the bookings the agent makes with us — never for our own unrelated marketing.

11
Who We Share It With

We disclose personal information only where it is reasonably necessary, and only the information actually needed. This may include:

  • Chauffeurs and drivers assigned to your booking
  • Partner transport operators fulfilling a booking in another city, state or country
  • Travel agents and agencies arranging or coordinating your booking
  • Payment processors, to take payment
  • IT, hosting and cloud service providers — our website host, our email provider, and the cloud services where booking records are stored
  • Professional advisers, such as our accountant
  • Government agencies, regulators or law enforcement, where the law requires it

We do not provide your information to travel agents or partners for their own unrelated marketing or commercial purposes.

12
Information Sent Overseas

Some of the information we hold is stored or processed outside Australia. This happens in two different ways.

Our Technology Providers

Running the website and the booking system involves services based overseas. The recipients are likely to be located in:

  • United States — Google (analytics, advertising, maps, cloud storage of booking records) and Microsoft (session recording)
  • United States and Ireland — Stripe (payments)
  • Europe, Asia and North America — our website hosting and email provider
Fulfilling Your Booking

If your booking is arranged through a travel agent located overseas, or is fulfilled by a partner operator in another country, we provide the minimum information needed to arrange or deliver that service — typically passenger name, contact details, pickup and drop-off details, date and time, flight or cruise details, passenger numbers and any special requirements.


We take reasonable steps to use reputable providers, but you should know that information held overseas may be subject to the laws of those countries.

13
Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These include:

  • Encrypted connections (HTTPS) across our website
  • Access controls and authentication on our booking and agent systems
  • Limiting access to the people who need it to do their job
  • Using established providers for payments and data storage

No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we will not claim otherwise.

14
If Something Goes Wrong

If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in serious harm to anyone whose information we hold, we will act under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

What That Means
  • We will assess the breach promptly
  • We will take steps to contain it and limit the harm
  • We will notify the people affected and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as soon as practicable
  • We will tell you what happened and what you can do about it
15
How Long We Keep It

We keep personal information only as long as we reasonably need it. In practice:

  • Booking, invoice and payment records: at least 5 years, because Australian taxation law requires business records to be kept for that period
  • Enquiries and quotes that do not become bookings: generally up to 24 months
  • Marketing contact details: until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove them
  • Website analytics and session recordings: held by the relevant provider under its own retention settings

When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or de-identify it.

16
Access & Correction

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and you can ask us to correct it if it is wrong, incomplete or out of date.

How It Works
  • Email us using the details in section 21
  • There is no charge for making a request
  • We may need to verify your identity before releasing information
  • We aim to respond within 30 days

In limited circumstances we may refuse access or correction where the law permits it. If we do, we will explain why in writing.

17
Complaints

If you think we have mishandled your personal information, please tell us first — we would rather hear about it and fix it.

Contact Us

Email us at the address in section 21, marking your message “Privacy Complaint”. We will acknowledge it, investigate, and respond within 30 days.

If You Are Not Satisfied

You can refer the matter to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC):

18
Visitors from the United Kingdom & European Economic Area

We welcome visitors from the UK and Europe. If you are in the UK or the EEA, the UK GDPR or EU GDPR may apply to how we handle your information, and you have the rights set out below.

Why We Are Allowed to Use Your Information
  • Performance of a contract — to deliver the transfer or tour you booked
  • Legitimate interests — to run, secure and improve our business, balanced against your rights
  • Consent — for marketing, which you can withdraw at any time
  • Legal obligation — for tax and regulatory records
Your Rights
  • Access a copy of your information
  • Have inaccurate information corrected
  • Request erasure, where we are not required to keep it
  • Restrict or object to how we use it
  • Receive your information in a portable format
  • Withdraw consent at any time
  • Complain to your local data protection authority

Because we operate from Australia, using our services means your information will be transferred to and stored in Australia and in the countries listed in section 12. To exercise any of these rights, email us using the details in section 21.

19
Children

Our services are booked by adults, and many of those bookings involve children travelling with their family.

Our Approach
  • We do not market our services to children
  • We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from a child
  • Where we need details about a child — usually age or weight for a correct child seat — that should be given by a parent, guardian or responsible adult
  • We collect only what is needed to carry that child safely, and keep it no longer than we need to
20
Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to our business, our technology, or our legal obligations.

The current version is always published on this page with the date of the most recent update shown at the top. If we make a change that significantly affects how we handle your personal information, we will take reasonable steps to bring it to your attention rather than quietly amending the page.
