This section is the privacy notice for this marketing site. It explains how EPL Appliance Repairs (trading name of Electro Power Link) handles personal information when you use www.eplappliances.com.au, contact us, apply for a job, or interact with our customer-service channels for in-home appliance repair across Sydney, NSW. We respect the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
It covers information collected through this website, including our careers application form, on-site FAQ chat, and any analytics we may enable. Separate online services we link to — booking, the customer portal, B2B, and the callback form listed in section 2 — are operated as distinct services. When you leave this marketing site for those products, their own notices apply to the information you provide there.
What we collect. We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our functions — mainly arranging appliance repairs, answering enquiries, recruiting, and improving this website. If you email or call us, we may hold your name, phone, email, suburb or address, appliance details, and the content of your message. This website’s contact page primarily directs you to book or call; it does not currently host a separate contact form.
Careers applications. When you apply via /careers we collect your name, phone, email, role of interest, cover note, and optional resume (PDF or Word). Submissions are emailed to us (via Resend) and may also trigger an SMS alert to our recruiting contact (via Twilio).
Booking, calling, and chat. Online booking and web calling happen on the book and call subdomains. Those services collect the details needed to schedule or connect a call. Our website chat is a local FAQ helper. It answers from published site content and does not send your messages to a live agent or third-party chatbot provider. Messages stay in your browser session unless you later contact us by another channel.
Technical and analytics data. Our host (Vercel) may process standard server logs such as IP address, user agent, and requested URLs for security and reliability. We may enable Google Analytics (or similar) in future; if we do, it may collect usage metrics such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP, device/browser type, and referral source. Analytics identifiers are not used to sell your information.
How we use it. We use personal information to respond to enquiries and provide quotes or repairs; schedule visits and follow up on work; assess job applications; operate, secure and improve this website; meet legal, insurance and record-keeping obligations; and analyse aggregated site usage if analytics are enabled. We do not sell personal information.
Cookies. This site may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for basic operation (for example load balancing or security) via our hosting platform. If we enable analytics, additional cookies or local storage identifiers may be set by that provider. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Booking, portal, B2B and call services may set their own cookies when you use them.
Who we share information with. We disclose personal information only where needed to run our business or where the law requires it. Typical recipients include Resend (email delivery for careers applications), Twilio (SMS alerts for careers applications), Vercel (hosting), operators of our booking, portal, B2B and call services when you use those products, manufacturers or parts suppliers where needed for authorised warranty or parts work, professional advisers and insurers under confidentiality obligations, and regulators or law enforcement when we are legally required to disclose information.
Some providers store or process data outside Australia. Website hosting and related infrastructure may involve processing in the United States (for example via Vercel). Email and SMS providers may also process data overseas. Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient does not breach the APPs in relation to that information (APP 8), or we rely on another permitted basis under the Privacy Act.
Storage and retention. We hold personal information in electronic systems and take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We keep it only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, for legitimate business records, or as required by law. Careers applications that do not progress are typically retained for a limited recruitment period and then deleted or de-identified, unless we need to keep them longer for legal reasons.
Access and correction (APP 12 & 13). You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. Email
info@eplappliances.com.au with “Privacy request” in the subject line and enough detail for us to identify you and locate the records. We will respond within a reasonable time. In limited cases we may refuse where the Privacy Act allows; if so, we will explain why (unless it is unreasonable to do so) and tell you how to complain.
Complaints. If you are concerned about how we have handled your personal information, contact us first at
info@eplappliances.com.au. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC):
oaic.gov.au.
Children. Our services are aimed at adults arranging appliance repairs or employment. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children for marketing or recruitment through this website. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
