Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Blue Horizon Pty Ltd ("Blue Horizon", "we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who interact with our website and services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

By using our website at bhorizon.com.au or submitting information to us, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

1. Personal Information We Collect

We may collect personal information when you:

• Submit an enquiry or contact form on our website
• Submit an expression of interest or crew application
• Communicate with us by email, telephone, or other means
• Browse our website (via cookies and analytics tools)

The types of personal information we may collect include:

• Name, email address, phone number, and company name
• Professional information including qualifications, certifications, and work history (for crew and candidate enquiries)
• Correspondence and enquiry details
• Technical information such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited

We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

2. How We Use Your Personal Information

We use the personal information we collect to:

• Respond to your enquiries and communicate with you
• Assess expressions of interest and crew applications
• Manage our relationship with clients and contractors
• Improve and administer our website and services
• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations
• Send relevant communications where you have consented to receive them

We will not use your personal information for purposes other than those for which it was collected, unless you have consented to such use or we are required to do so by law.

3. Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to:

• Our employees, contractors, and service providers who assist us in operating our business, subject to confidentiality obligations
• Third-party platform providers (such as form processing and website hosting services) that support our website operations
• Regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, or other parties where required or authorised by law

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Blue Horizon does not currently disclose personal information to overseas recipients. Where this changes, we will update this policy accordingly and take steps to ensure appropriate privacy protections are in place.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. Our website uses HTTPS encryption for all data transmission.

While we implement appropriate security measures, no method of data transmission over the internet is entirely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or from our website.

Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. When no longer required, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify the information.

5. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience and understand how our site is used. Cookies may be used to:

• Remember your preferences and settings
• Analyse website traffic and usage patterns (via tools such as Google Analytics)

You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of our website.

We do not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information or to track individuals across third-party websites for advertising purposes.

6. Access and Correction

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, and to request correction of any information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading.

To make an access or correction request, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and in accordance with our obligations under the Privacy Act.

In some circumstances, we may not be able to provide access — for example, where doing so would unreasonably impact the privacy of others, or where we are legally prevented from doing so. If we decline a request, we will explain why in writing.

7. Complaints

If you believe we have not handled your personal information in accordance with this policy or the Australian Privacy Principles, you may submit a complaint to us at info@bhorizon.com.au. We will acknowledge your complaint within five business days and work to resolve it within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.

8. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. These websites operate independently of Blue Horizon and have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites and encourage you to review their policies before providing any personal information.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal obligations. The current version will always be available on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
