In some circumstances, if you do not provide us with information we may not be able to provide certain goods or services to you. The types of personal information we collect and hold include name, contact details such as email, address, telephone number and age details.

When you visit our website, we may collect information using technology which is not apparent to you (such as “cookies”). ‘Cookies’ are small pieces of information sent by a web server and stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive so it can later be read back from that browser. This allows your browser to remember some specific information. Our cookies enable us to store items in your shopping cart and to identify you on return visits. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. However, while most of the content of our website can be viewed without accepting cookies, the shopping facility feature of the site will not function properly when cookies are disabled.

With whom and for what purposes do we share personal information?

We may share personal information with some of our trusted suppliers and market research companies and providers of data analysis, data augmentation or data washing services in connection with us. We may share your personal information with a provider that is located in a country other than New Zealand, where we have made a business decision to use a trusted overseas based service provider that is in the business of providing data storage and/or data processing services (for example, the service provider that hosts our website database). We ensure that any time we share personal information with our suppliers, market research companies, we do so securely and we take
steps to ensure that all our suppliers, market research companies with whom we share personal information agree to protect the privacy and security of your personal information, destroy that data when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was supplied to them and use that data only for the purposes for which it is disclosed. From time to time we may share your personal information in other circumstances where we are specifically allowed to under the Privacy Act 1993 (for example, in cases where the Police ask us for information to assist with its investigation of an alleged criminal offence).

How do we hold personal information?

We take data security very seriously. We have in place rigorous data security policies and practices aimed at mitigating the risks of unauthorised access to, and loss, misuse or wrongful alteration of, personal information held by us. We take measures to destroy or anonymise personal information held by us if we no longer need to use it for any lawful purpose. We are dedicated to keeping your user details safe and secure from scams and fraud. If you are ever in any doubt about the authenticity of any communications that are or seem to be from us please immediately email us and include a copy of the email in question.

Data collected in relation to digital services

This can include information about software versions used, device types, device identifiers (like IP address), location data (where available and not disabled by the user) dates, times, file metadata, referring website, data entered, and user activity such as links clicked. From time to time we may use your data to target you through social media channels, like Facebook.

The hashed data is deleted as soon as the match is complete and never kept or used by Facebook or shared with any third party. Some information we collect in relation to our digital services is not related to an individual. In many cases, the information relates only to a device or is of an aggregated or statistical nature and we will have no way of knowing the identity of the user.

For example, when on any occasion you have logged in, followed a link sent to you by email, or we have otherwise been able to identify you. Our online services may contain links to other sites.
