Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is Stair Lock Pty Ltd’s (“Stairlock”) official privacy policy and it applies to all personal information collected by Stairlock.

Where possible, we collect your personal information directly from you during the course of our business relationship. The personal information collected is necessary to provide you with our goods and services.

We collect personal information from you in order to provide you with our goods and services, to provide you with advertising and promotional materials (if you choose to receive them), to facilitate our internal business operations including fulfilment by us of any legal requirements and to manage and improve our customer relationships.

3. Data Quality
The accuracy of your personal information is important to us. We will take all reasonable steps to make sure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
We ask that you contact us at any time to update or change your personal information if you become aware that any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or outdated.

Our information handling practices are outlined in this policy statement, which is available on request.
Upon request, we will take reasonable steps to inform you of what personal information we hold for what purpose, and how we collect, hold, use and disclose that information.
6. Access and Correction
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you at any time. We may charge a fee to cover the costs of retrieval and copying, which will not be excessive and will not apply to lodging a request for access.
We may deny you access to your personal information in certain circumstances, for example where “the Act” allows us to do so.
We will always provide reasons for denial of access or refusal to correct personal information. Where you establish that personal information we hold about you is not accurate, complete or up-to-date, we will take reasonable steps to correct the information.
7. Identifiers
We do not adopt an identifier that has been assigned to you by a Commonwealth Government Agency (e.g. tax file number) as a means of identifying you
8. Anonymity
We provide you with the opportunity to interact anonymously with us whenever it is practicable to do so, for example where you enquire about the types of goods ad services we offer.
9. Trans border Data Flows
We will not transfer your personal information to a recipient overseas unless you consent, we are required to do so by law or it is required in the course of providing goods and services to you.
10. Sensitive Information
We do not collect, use or disclose sensitive information about you (such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, memberships, religious beliefs, sexual preference, health or criminal record) unless you consent, where it is allowed by law or in circumstances where it is required in the course of providing goods and services to you.
