You are free to refuse our request for your Personal Information, with the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired services.

Why Would My Personal Information Be Collected?

AmazingBorneo.com only asks for and collects Personal Information when it is necessary to deliver the services, products, or information to you, or should an agent, or another passenger booking on your behalf, requests so. This includes using Personal Information to: register you to receive newsletters, answer your request(s) for further information about our trips, make (a) booking(s), provide you with information about the Company and/or our services, and to receive and implement feedback on those services.

Furthermore, the Personal Information allows us to:

Understand your needs as a customer and determine eligibility for our products and services;
Inform you about our products and services, or those of our partners that we believe may be of interest to you;
Provide ongoing service and support, including resolution of any issues with the services or products you request from AmazingBorneo.com;
To ensure the safety and security of our passengers and products;
Carry out internal accounting and administration of our business;
Comply with laws, regulations, immigrations requirements, and the like.

We collect it by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. We will also inform you as to why we are collecting it and how it will be used.

How Is My Personal Information Disclosed & With Whom Is It Shared With?

AmazingBorneo.com may use your Personal Information to book products and services for you or on your behalf from our Third-Party suppliers and service providers, or other service providers or merchants for whom we act as Agent from time to time. This collection of Personal Information is for both our internal purposes, for example, to process your booking, and occasionally on behalf of the parties for whom we act as an Agent, for their internal purposes in providing the services or products you have requested.

AmazingBorneo.com will share your information with external suppliers (such as guides, travel companies, hotel companies, insurance companies, equipment suppliers, promotion or sweepstakes co-sponsors, and credit card processing entities etc., all of which may be located outside of your country of residence and governed by differing privacy legislation) who perform services on our behalf. As you would expect, certain information must be provided to these suppliers to facilitate your booking(s) and to provide you with service(s) you have requested. These partners and suppliers are located all over Malaysia - you can reasonably expect your personal information to be shared with organisations we work with in Malaysia, and in some cases, to the country of the head office of such Third-Party partner supplier(s) anywhere in the world.

How Is My Personal Information Protected?

The Security and Integrity of your Personal Information is important to us. We don’t share any personally identifying information publicly or with third-parties, except when required to by law.

AmazingBorneo.com only retain collected information for as long as it is necessary to provide you with your requested service. On occasion, you may have to provide your Personal Information to us again where it has been deleted.

All Personal Information is stored in secure databases at secure addresses to prevent unauthorised access. Passwords, encryption devices, and firewalls protect these databases. Please note, however, that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we take all steps to ensure the safety of your data, we cannot ensure the security of information you transmit to us over the Internet. Access to your personal and private information is limited to: authorised employees of AmazingBorneo.com, and any of the Third-Party suppliers who require your information to provide the travel or other services you have requested (such as transportation services, hotels, activity providers, and tour guides who deliver the services you purchase through AmazingBorneo.com or that we arrange on your behalf). We keep our employees and our Third-Party suppliers, and other partners informed about our policies and procedures and require strict compliance with this Policy to ensure your Personal Information remains protected. Unauthorised access and/or disclosure of Client information are strictly prohibited.

What Are The Consequences Of Failing To Provide Personal Information?

If you do not provide the Personal Information that we request, we may not be able to deliver the services you have requested, which may mean you will not be able to participate in our trips, purchase the items from our store, or subscribe to our newsletter; to name a few. If you have paid a deposit and later refuse to provide necessary Personal Information deposit to AmazingBorneo.com which AmazingBorneo.com (or our partners and suppliers) require from you to deliver the service for which the deposit was paid (for example, for any package(s) which requires passport information), you may not be entitled to a refund for that service.
