Strata Check-In keeps a record of which contractors came into a building and when. This page explains what that record holds, who can see it, where it is kept and how long it stays.
Who I am
Strata Check-In is run by Jeffrey Blaszkowski, a sole trader, ABN 41 107 123 006. When this page says “I” or “me”, that is who it means. You can reach me at hello@stratacheckin.com.au, on 0459 180 897, or by post at PO Box 176, Oxenford QLD 4210.
If you are a contractor signing in
When you scan the sign at a building, the form asks for three things:
- your business name
- your name
- your mobile number
The system adds the building, the time you signed in and the time you signed out. If you do not sign out, it closes the visit at the end of the day and marks it as closed automatically.
Where you are headed. Some buildings also ask you to pick which part of the building you are going to, from a short list the manager has written: common areas, the plant room, the roof. It is there so the manager can say where to look if the building is evacuated while you are inside it. A building that has not switched it on does not ask.
The unit or lot number. A building can mark any place on that list to ask for a unit or lot number as well, and if it has, you get a second box when you pick it. That number is stored with your visit, it appears in the building’s weekly report, and anybody the manager has that report sent to can see it. It is deleted with the rest of the visit after 90 days. Most buildings do not ask for it, and a building that has not marked a place never does.
Beyond those, the sign-in asks for nothing. No photo, no ID, no licence details, and nothing from your phone: no location and no tracking.
Why it is collected. So the people who look after the building know who was on site and when. That is the only use.
The text message. After you sign in, I send one text to your mobile with a link to sign out. It is sent through Mobile Message, an Australian SMS provider. It is never used for marketing. You will not get anything else from this number.
Who sees it. The building’s manager, and anyone they give a login to. Each Monday they are emailed a report of the past week’s visits, and the manager can have that report sent to up to two other people as well, which is usually the chairperson or the building’s strata manager. If the manager has switched them on, they are also emailed your business name, name, mobile and the time as you sign in, and again as you sign out. I can also see it, because I run the system.
How long it is kept. Visits are deleted from the system after 90 days. The one exception is a key you are holding, below. The Monday report emails belong to the building’s manager, and what they keep is up to them.
If the building has issued you a key. Some buildings use Strata Check-In to record the keys and fobs they have issued to their contractors. If you hold one, the manager records your business name, your name and your mobile against that key. You do not sign in for this and it is not part of a visit. There is no field for a unit or lot number, because keys are recorded against contractors and not against residents.
How long a key record is kept. While the key is out, the record stays, however long that is. A register that forgot who was holding a key would be no use to the building it belongs to. Once the manager marks the key returned, the record is deleted 90 days later, the same as a visit.
If you are a building manager or customer
When you sign up I collect your name, your email and mobile, and the building’s name, address and scheme number. The scheme number goes on the tax invoice, because a strata invoice without it does not get paid.
I use these details to set up your building, send your invoices and renewals, give you a login and send the weekly report. I keep them while you are a customer. I keep invoices for as long as Australian tax law requires.
If you pay by card, the payment is taken by Stripe on its own secure page. Your card number goes to Stripe, not to this website, and I never see it. Stripe tells me the payment went through and shows me the card type and its last four digits, so I can match the payment to the invoice.
If you report a problem from your account. There is a box at the bottom of every screen in your account for telling me something is not working. What you write is emailed to me, along with your name and email, which building you were looking at, which screen you were on, the browser you were using and the version of the system that was running. That is so I can find the fault without asking you to work any of it out. It is used to fix the problem and nothing else, and it sits in my email like any other message from you.
If you are visiting this website
This site uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. Google sets cookies to do this. It does not tell me who you are. You can block these cookies in your browser and the site will still work.
Jetpack Stats, run by Automattic, also counts visits. It tells me how many people read each page, not who they are.
The demo sign-in on the front page saves nothing. What you type there is not stored and no text is sent.
The manager’s demo is a page of invented data. No real building, contractor or key appears on it, nothing on it can be changed, and nothing you do there is recorded.
Where the information is kept
The website and its records are hosted by Pressable, a WordPress host owned by Automattic, on servers in Los Angeles in the United States. That means the information is held overseas. Email for hello@stratacheckin.com.au is handled by Titan. Card payments are handled by Stripe. Website analytics are handled by Google and by Automattic through Jetpack Stats.
None of these companies are allowed to use your information for their own purposes. They store it or carry it so the service works. Stripe also uses payment details to detect and prevent fraud, under its own privacy policy.
What I do not do
- I do not sell your information.
- I do not share it with anyone outside the building it belongs to, except the providers named above.
- I do not use it for marketing.
Seeing or correcting your information
Email me and I will tell you what I hold about you and fix anything that is wrong. If you are a contractor, you can also ask the building’s manager, since the record is theirs.
Complaints
Email me first. I will reply within 30 days. If you are not happy with my answer, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
