Privacy Policy — ETHLOK App
Last updated: 28 April 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Emphire Pty Ltd (ABN [insert ABN]),
trading as Empire Trailer Hire ("we", "us", "our"), collects, uses,
stores, and protects your personal information when you use the ETHLOK
mobile application ("the App").
The App is provided to authorised users (employees, contractors, and
maintenance technicians) for the purpose of managing Igloohome smart
locks deployed across our trailer hire fleet.
1. Information We Collect
When you use ETHLOK, we collect the following information:
Account Information
- Your name, email address, and assigned user role
- Login credentials (passwords are stored in encrypted form only)
Device Information
- Device type, operating system version, and unique device identifier
- Bluetooth identifiers required to connect to Igloohome locks
Lock and Usage Data
- Lock identifiers and location associations
- Sync logs, unlock events, and timestamps
- Activity logs from paired Igloohome locks (e.g. access events,
battery status, firmware version)
Diagnostic Data
- Crash reports and basic usage analytics to help us improve the App
We do not collect payment information, contacts, photos, location data
beyond what is necessary for lock pairing, or any data unrelated to
the App's function.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected to:
- Authenticate authorised users
- Enable Bluetooth communication with Igloohome smart locks
- Maintain audit logs of lock access for security and compliance
- Diagnose technical issues and improve the App
- Comply with our legal and contractual obligations
3. How We Share Your Information
We share information only as necessary to operate the App:
- With Igloohome (the lock hardware manufacturer) to enable lock
communication and synchronisation. Igloohome's privacy practices are
governed by their own privacy policy at https://www.igloohome.co
- With service providers who support our infrastructure (e.g. cloud
hosting), under confidentiality obligations
- Where required by law, regulation, or valid legal process
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your information is stored on secure servers with encryption in transit
(HTTPS/TLS) and at rest. Access is restricted to authorised personnel
on a need-to-know basis.
While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, no system
is completely secure. You use the App at your own risk.
5. Data Retention
We retain account and lock activity data for as long as you remain an
authorised user, plus a period of up to seven (7) years thereafter to
meet record-keeping obligations under Australian law. Crash and
diagnostic data is retained for up to 90 days.
6. Your Rights
Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, you have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of your information (subject to legal retention
requirements)
- Lodge a complaint about how we handle your information
To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below.
7. Children's Privacy
ETHLOK is not directed at, and not intended for use by, anyone under
18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated"
date at the top reflects the current version. Continued use of the App
after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
