Introduction
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union regulation that provides data protection and privacy rights for individuals within the EU and European Economic Area. While melodic-travel is based in Australia, we are committed to protecting the privacy of all our visitors and customers, including those from the EU.
This page outlines how we comply with GDPR requirements and explains your rights under this regulation.

Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the EU or EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of your request.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data or complete any incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal effects or significantly affects you.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We will respond to your request within one month. In complex cases, this may be extended by a further two months, and we will notify you if this is the case.
We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. If your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request.
Data Transfers
As an Australian company, any transfer of your personal data to us involves a transfer outside the EU/EEA. We ensure that such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including:
- Your explicit consent to the transfer
- Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
- Other legally recognised mechanisms
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. When personal data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:
- Encryption of personal data where appropriate
- Regular security assessments
- Access controls and authentication
- Staff training on data protection
Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly.
Complaints
If you are not satisfied with how we handle your personal data or your request to exercise your rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For EU residents, this would typically be the data protection authority in your country of residence.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this GDPR compliance information from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
