Privacy Policy

1. Privacy Act
   By registering on the Adaptalift Store (“AALH & AALSTORE”) and Adaptalift Store (“AALStore”) website, you may provide us with personal information. AALH & AALSTORE holds personal information it collects from you subject to the National Privacy Principles (“NPPs”). This Privacy Policy sets out how we handle your personal information. If you have any queries about our management of your personal information, you are encouraged to contact AALH & AALSTORE for further information (see below)
2. How We Collect, Hold, Use and Disclose Personal Information
   2.1 Collection
   We may collect your personal information directly from you, or from third parties (such as AALH & AALSTORE dealers, or market research companies acting on our behalf) that have collected it from you (with your consent). When collecting personal information, we will tell you why the information is being collected by us, the organisations to which we would disclose your information and any consequences for you if you fail to provide any information we request.

2.2 Storage and Security
We have policies and procedures in place to ensure that your personal information is not misplaced or misused, and that unauthorised access to, or modification or disclosure of, your personal information does not occur. Security measures we employ include authorised user-only access to computer records (including password protection); internal procedures to protect physical documents; and regular monitoring and improvement of our practices and systems to ensure the effectiveness of our security policies. We will endeavour to destroy your personal information as soon as it is no longer required by us (as permitted by law).

2.3 Use and Disclosure
We will only use or disclose your personal information for the purpose for which we collected it, and for related purposes we consider will be within your reasonable expectations. We may disclose it to our Authorised Adaptalift Store Dealers, contractors and associated organisations in order to best respond to your information request, question or feedback, and may also use it to send you information about Hyster products and services. Adaptalift Store will not disclose this information to any other parties. AALH & AALSTORE will seek your consent prior to using or disclosing your personal information for another purpose, unless we are required or permitted by law to do so without seeking your permission.

3. Access to Personal Information
   You may contact AALH & AALSTORE to request access to your personal information held. You will be required to verify your identity before we will allow you to access your personal information, for the protection of your privacy and the privacy of other individuals whose personal information we hold. We may refuse to allow you to access your personal information if we are legally required or entitled to do so. We may require you to pay a fee in order to access your personal information held by us. We will advise the amount of the fee payable (if any) once we have assessed your application for access. Any application for access to personal information will not incur a fee. If you lodge an application for access, we may discuss with you options for providing you with access to your information such as, for example, supplying you with a hard copy of your personal information. If you establish that any personal information we hold about you is not accurate, complete and up-to-date, we will amend our records accordingly. Please notify us if our records need to be updated. If we provide you with the means of informing us of changes to your personal information (such as by return forms sent to you by post, email or tear-out pages in your Owner’s Manual), we encourage you to use these means to assist us to maintain accurate records of your information.
4. Kinds of Personal Information We Hold
   The personal information about you we may hold includes your name and address, contact telephone number(s) and/or email address(es). We may also hold information about any products or services you acquire from us or our dealers, any warranty claims made in connection with those products or services, and any other personal information that you provide to us.
