  • How you can obtain access to and correct any personal information we hold about you.

If you have further questions relating to this Privacy Policy, please contact us at [EMAIL] or [POSTAL ADDRESS], or by telephone on [NUMBER].

What personal information do we collect?

UPLIFTING ELEVATORS collects personal information from customers, employees, contractors, agents, and other individuals. We collect this information when it is necessary for business purposes.

So that we can provide services to you, we may ask you for personal information such as:

  • Your name;
  • Address;
  • Telephone number;
  • Email address;
  • Payment information;
  • Transaction information;
  • Account information (including but not limited to username and password);
  • Verification of Identity documents (including but not limited to driver’s licence, identification card, bank card, and bank statements); or
  • any other personal information you submit to us.

The personal information we collect may be provided on forms filled out by individuals (including when you register on UPLIFTING ELEVATORS’ website and when you agree to us providing you with a service), when you visit UPLIFTING ELEVATORS’ website, in face-to-face meetings, email messages, telephone conversations, or from third parties. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that contact. We will collect personal information about you only from you where it is reasonable and practical to do so, or as required by law. 

Generally, you have no obligation to provide any information requested by us. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with any products and services that depend on the collection of this information (particularly where our collection of this information is required by law).

In appropriate cases, we may collect personal information about you from third parties.

If you (or your employer) create an account, we may collect information about you from third parties (for example, from your employer, service providers, agents, advisers and brokers).

We may use cookie technology on our websites to provide information and services to website visitors. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer’s hard disk for record keeping purposes and are a necessary part of facilitating online transactions. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify you, although they do identify your browser. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies. Cookies are useful to determine overall traffic patterns through our websites. If you do not wish to receive any cookies you may set your browser to refuse cookies. This may mean you will not be able to take full advantage of the services on our websites.  Third party vendors, including Google, show our ads on sites on the internet and may also use cookies to serve ads to you based on your prior visits to our website. Such cookies are useful to ensure you are shown advertisements which are relevant to you. If you only wish to opt out of targeted advertising, you may opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting http://www.google.com/settings/ads.

Employee records are generally not subject to the Privacy Act and, therefore, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the handling of information about employees by UPLIFTING ELEVATORS. For information about our practices relating to employee information, please contact us directly.

How is personal information used and disclosed?

The personal information we collect is confidential. Our purpose in collecting information about you is to provide you with a better website experience, to provide products or services to you and to operate our business.

Some examples of when we may need to collect, use, and disclose this information are in relation to property or supplier enquiries, for email newsletter registration, for providing customers with products and services, and for customer complaint handling.

UPLIFTING ELEVATORS’ agents or contractors from time to time may also use your personal information to provide information to you about products and services that they may offer from time to time.  If at any time you do not wish to receive such information from us, or our agents, you can opt out of receiving such information when registering on UPLIFTING ELEVATORS’ website, or you may remove your name from our list by calling us on [NUMBER] and asking to be removed from our mailing list. Alternatively, if we have sent you this information by email, you can use the unsubscribe link at the end of the email. In either case, please allow five (5) business days for this request to be processed. 

In the course of our business, we use a range of service providers to help us maximise the quality and efficiency of our services and business operations. This means that individuals and organisations outside of UPLIFTING ELEVATORS may sometimes have access to personal information held by UPLIFTING ELEVATORS and may use this on behalf of UPLIFTING ELEVATORS. We require our service providers to adhere to strict privacy guidelines and not to keep this information or use it for any unauthorised purpose.

We may also share non-personal, de-identified and aggregated information for our own research or promotional purposes. Under no circumstances will we or any of our related entities sell your details to marketing agencies without your consent.

UPLIFTING ELEVATORS does not routinely disclose personal information to any third parties. UPLIFTING ELEVATORS will not use or disclose any personal information about you without your consent unless:

  • required or authorised by law;
  • it is permitted by this Privacy Policy;
  • we believe this is necessary to provide you with the products or services you have requested;
  • it is necessary to implement our Terms and Conditions of Trade;
  • it is necessary to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of an UPLIFTING ELEVATORS employee, another customer, or any member of the public or UPLIFTING ELEVATORS; or
  • some or all of the assets and operations of the business are or may be transferred to another party by way of sale of some or all of UPLIFTING ELEVATORS’ business.

How do we store personal information?

UPLIFTING ELEVATORS will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information we hold about you and keep this information accurate and up to date. Your personal information may be stored in hard copy or electronically (including on secure servers in controlled facilities). UPLIFTING ELEVATORS has security processes in place to protect personal information from misuse, loss or unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. The types of measures we take vary with the type of information and how it is collected and stored.
