Who we collect personal information from

We use different methods to collect your personal information. We will generally collect personal information directly from you (e.g. in person, by telephone or through written information or forms that you submit to us).

However, we may also collect personal information:

Other third parties may include credit reference organisations, service providers we engage, recruitment and labour hire companies, or third parties where we have your authorisation to that collection;
  • from CCTV cameras that may be placed on and around our premises; and
  • from publicly available websites or sources.

If you have provided us with information about another person, you warrant that you have that person’s permission to do so. Your obligations under the Privacy Law also means that you need to tell that person about the disclosure and let them know that they have a right to access their personal information and that we will handle their personal information in accordance with this Policy.

Other than circumstances such as unlawful activity or serious threats to health and safety, we do not share Personal Information with other agencies. If you ask us about an issue that needs to be dealt with by another agency, we will provide you with the necessary details to make contact yourself.

How we use personal information

Stoller collects personal information from you for a specific reason.  This is referred to as the primary purpose.  Stoller agrees to not use or disclose this information for a secondary purpose unless you consent to us doing so, or under the circumstances involved we believe you would reasonably expect Stoller to use or disclose the information for a secondary purpose and that that secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose.
