Privacy Policy

 Website Privacy Policy

This is the privacy notice of Kiwi Sheepskins.com. In this document, "we" or "us" refer to Dreaver Investments Ltd.

We are company number 6220349 registered in New Zealand. Our registered office is at 7 Broomfields Road, Howick, Auckland 2571, NEW ZEALAND.

This is a notice to tell you our policy about all information that we record about you. It covers both information that could identify you and information that could not.

We are extremely concerned to protect your privacy and confidentiality. We understand that all users of our website are quite rightly concerned to know that their data will not be used for any purpose unintended by them, and will not accidentally fall into the hands of a third party. Our policy is both specific and strict. It complies with New Zealand law. If you think our policy falls short of your expectations or that we are failing to abide by our policy, do please tell us.

We regret that if there are one or more points below with which you are not happy, your only recourse is to leave our website immediately.

Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any personally identifiable information collected at this site.

Here is a list of the information we collect from you, either through our website or because you give it to us in some other way, and why it is necessary to collect it:

1. Basic identification and contact information, such as your name and contact details.

This information is used:

1.1. to provide you with the products which you request;

1.2. for verifying your identity for security purposes;

1.3. for marketing our products;

1.4. for inviting you to review our service on the Trustpilot review platform;
Trustpilot processes data on our behalf when sending out these review invitations. They only act in accordance with the instructions that they receive from us. Trustpilot receive the customer email address, name and customer/order ID, and they only use the information to send out the review invitation emails on our behalf.

If the customer clicks on the link and goes to Trustpilot's review page and actively accepts their terms & conditions and privacy policy, they save information related to the review. All information they collect about the user from this time and going forward is collected by Trustpilot. They save this information so that we can get in contact with the user, for example, if the review violates their User Guidelines.

1.5. information which does not identify any individual may be used in a general way by us or third parties, to provide class information, for example relating to demographics or usage of a particular page or service.

 

2. Your domain name and email address are recognised by our servers and the pages that you visit are recorded. We shall not under any circumstances divulge your email address to any person who is not an employee or contractor of ours and who does not need to know, either generally or specifically. This information is used:

2.1. to correspond with you or deal with you as you expect;

2.2. to invite you to review our service on the Trustpilot review platform;

2.3. in a collective way not referable to any particular individual, for the purpose of quality control and improvement of our site;

2.3. to send you news about our products to which you have signed up;

3. Feedback Information you email or post on our website

Feedback information you send to us by email or by posting via our website is stored on our servers. You will see in our terms and conditions that we reserve a right to use it in any way we decide, however we will refrain from using it on request.

4. Website usage information

We may use software embedded in our website (such as JavaScript) to collect information about which pages you view and how you reach them, what you do when you visit a page, the length of time you remain on the page, and how we perform in providing content to you. We do not presently associate such information with an identifiable person.

5. Financial information relating only to your credit cards

Our website uses a technique so that sensitive card information is posted directly and securely to the DPS Payment Express server and not via our web server. To enable us to charge your card at the time of shipping your order, Payment Express provide us with a billing token. In this way we never store or have access to your full card details.

6. We retain limited credit or debit card information

For your security we only store and only ever have access to partial card numbers (first 6 digits and last 2 digits) and expiry date. This provides easy identification of cards for invoicing or should we need to contact you about a payment.

We use a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate to verify our identity to your browser and to encrypt any data you give us when you buy, including financial information such as credit or debit card numbers. Our SSL certificate provides an encryption level up to 256-bit. Whenever we ask for financial information, you can check that SSL is being used by looking for a closed padlock symbol or other trust mark in your browser URL bar or toolbar.

We take the following measures to protect your financial information:

6.1. We only store a billing token and partial card details;

6.2. Access to your information is restricted to authorized staff only;

6.3. If we ask you questions about your financial information, we shall show partial details, the first 4 and last 2 digits of the debit or credit card number, only enough to identify the card to which we refer;

7. Credit reference

To assist in combating fraud, we may share information with credit reference agencies so far as it relates to clients or customers who instruct their credit card issuer to cancel payment to us without having first provided an acceptable reason to us and given us the opportunity to refund their money.

8. Business and personal information

This includes all information given to us in the course of your business and ours, such as information you give us in your capacity as our client. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our relationship. It is not used for any other purpose. We expect you to reciprocate this policy.

We keep information which forms part of our business record for minimum of seven years. That is because we may need it in some way to support a claim or defence in court. That is also the period within which our tax collecting authorities may demand to know it.
