StarRez is a global software development company that produces and hosts the world’s leading student housing management software.
Our goal is to maintain your trust and confidence when handling your data, and that of your customers. StarRez promises to protect the individual’s right to privacy and implement safeguards that prevent the misuse of private information.
StarRez is committed to meeting the legislated data protection requirements in all the countries in which it operates, and in particular the US, UK and Australia. These include:
If you have any questions regarding our data privacy policy, information security or other measures, please contact us at privacy@starrez.com.
StarRez collects the following information from its customers in order to provide product and support services: contact details, such as name, email address, and phone number, booking data, as well as business information, such as financial and transaction data. Each StarRez customer can configure a wide range of additional fields. You have the right to access your personal data held by us, and to request its correction or deletion.
StarRez products enable our customers to process resident’s (“End User”) personal data, for the purposes for providing them with services, such as accommodation, conference venues and food. Personal data collected from End Users varies depending on configuration, but typically includes name, email address, phone number, gender, date of birth and identifiers such as student IDs.
We are considered a Data Processor under the Data Protection Legislation. We work with customers (who are Data Controllers), in accordance with our obligations under the applicable Data Protection Legislation to assist them in providing a robust approach to data protection. End User data protection issues can be raised with us, and will be passed to the appropriate Data Controller for action.
As with most web applications, StarRez’s services collect certain information automatically, and stores it in log files and services. The information may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the region or general location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, browser type, operating system and other usage information about the use of our services, including a history of the functions you access. We use this information to help us design our services to better suit the needs of our users. We may also use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our services and to administer them, analyse trends, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences. Our websites also use cookies and web beacons.
StarRez doesn’t share your personal information with marketing organisations, or for purposes that aren’t associated with providing our services. You will not see a ‘Do Not Sell My Information’ button on our websites or products, since we don’t do that. When we do share data, what we share is limited, and for a specific purpose. We do aggregate and anonymise personal data for the purposes of providing analytics to our customers, to improve our services and theirs. You are welcome to contact us at any stage to express any reasonable limitations on how your data is used, at privacy@starrez.com. We will never share sensitive personal data (such as health data) with third parties without the individual’s express consent.
For the purposes of providing our services, we engage cloud service providers, which provide the infrastructure for our services. These organisations will host and transmit encrypted personal data, and do so under a contract with StarRez that requires the same standards of protection for the subject’s data rights. In the event of a requirement to disclose data to another third party, or for a purpose which is substantially different from our existing services, you will be given the opportunity to opt-out. With these third parties, and any others, StarRez remains liable for the handling of your personal data.
StarRez is required to disclose personal information in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.
StarRez provides redundancy within the region of the customer and data.

You are welcome to contact us at any stage to express any reasonable limitations on how your data is used, at privacy@starrez.com. If we can comply and still provide our services, we will. If we are not, we will explain the specific requirements for the data and the legal, technical or other reasons why we require it, and offer you the option of sharing the data or having us delete it from our systems.
We will never share sensitive personal data (such as health data) with third parties without the individual’s express consent. If you do not want us to have your data, we will delete it upon request, except where we are legally required to keep records.
