Information collected and handling methods
We collect personal information exclusively when visitors voluntarily submit inquiries via our contact form, subscribe to informational updates, or communicate with our research team via email. The personal data collected may include your name, email address, telephone contact number, and any specific vehicle or travel details included within your message.
As an independent airport parking melbourne research platform, our objective is to clarify bay pricing, terminal drop-off zones, and shuttle transit frequencies between Tullamarine arterial roadways and Terminals 1 through 4. When requesting specific guidance—such as over-height vehicle access (over 2.2 metres) for the At-Terminal multi-deck structures or long-term parking bay availability along Mercer Drive—you may provide trip dates or flight itineraries so our team can provide accurate answers.
Exclusion of Sensitive and Financial Data
We do not collect sensitive personal data such as financial account numbers, credit card details, government identifiers, tax file numbers, or biometric information. Transactions for parking bays occur directly on terminal operator systems or third-party reservation gates; no payment card data passes through or is archived on parkingairportmelbourne.com servers.
Technical data and web server logs
When you access this website, our web hosting servers automatically record basic technical data generated by your browser. This information includes your IP address, browser type and version, referring web page, pages visited on our site, date and time of visit, and duration of browsing sessions.
This log data is used exclusively for internal server diagnostics, network security monitoring, and general traffic aggregation to improve the technical performance of our website. These automated records help our network engineers identify high-traffic intervals during peak Melbourne holiday departure dates and verify that our terminal map guides render reliably on mobile devices along the Tullamarine Freeway corridor.
