Privacy Policy
Introduction
We understand that as a visitor to our website, you may be concerned about your privacy and about any information about you that we gain about you online. We are committed to protecting your privacy and to complying with the Privacy Act 1993 (New Zealand).
We want to make your shopping experience as safe, satisfying, convenient and pleasurable as possible. We take your privacy very seriously. The information which we receive from you is used to process orders, provide you with a more personalised shopping experience and keep you informed. Your information will not be sold or otherwise divulged to third parties without your prior consent.
Information about You
If you choose to use the site and submit information to us about you for that purpose, you will be taken as authorising us to use that information in the manner and for the purposes contemplated by these Terms and Conditions. If you choose not to provide all of the personal information that we request from you, some of the goods, services or features of the website may not be available to you.
If you opt to retain your personal details on our web site, then that personal information that we collect about you is stored on our web database in Auckland, New Zealand, and its collection, storage, use and disclosure is governed by the terms of the New Zealand Privacy Act 1993. If you visit an area of the website where you are not required to log on, to read, browse or download information, our system will record the date and time of your visit to our site, the pages viewed and any information downloaded. However, our system will not record any personally identifiable information about you.
If you complete an online form on our website, the information that you enter on that form will only be collected if you actually submit the form to us. If you change your mind and do not submit the information, any information you have entered up to that point will not be collected by our system and will be discarded (note that if your browser has an “auto complete” function, it might automatically fill in the form again the next time you visit that page).
