Palmerston North Panel & Paint Limited Privacy Notice
This policy will be effective starting June 17, 2018
Welcome to pnpanelandpaint.co.nz (the "Website"), the website for Palmerston North Panel & Paint Limited. This Privacy Notice describes the types of personal information we collect about our customers on our Website and through interest-based online advertising. The Privacy Notice also describes how we may use that information, how we protect that information, how we share that information, your choices and options regarding the information, and how you can contact us regarding our privacy practices.
Information We Collect
We may collect certain personal information from you in connection with your activities at our Website. This information may include:
contact information (including name, e-mail address, postal address, and phone number)
geolocation data, and
other personal information you provide to us on our Website
Additionally, we or companies acting on our behalf may collect certain computer and browser information through automated technologies such as cookies when you visit our Website. A "cookie" is a file that a website sends to a visitors computer or other Internet-connected device to identify the browser or to store information or settings in the browser.
The information collected using these tools may include your IP address, browser characteristics, operating system, the address of the web page that referred you to our Website, dates and times of Website visits, the language your system uses, and the country and time zone in which your device is located. These automated technologies also permit the collection of "clickstream data," which may include a log of content you access while browsing a website.
Companies acting on our behalf may combine the information collected from your visit to our Website with other information they have collected previously. Your web browser may tell you how to be notified when you receive certain types of cookies and how to restrict, reject or disable certain cookies.
Interest-Based Online Advertising and Google Analytics
This section of our Privacy Notice provides details about interest-based online advertising (also called "targeted advertising", “remarketing”, or "behavioural advertising"), Google Analytics, and your choices with respect to this type of advertising.
We use Google Analytics’ 3rd-party audience data such as age, gender and interests to better understanding the behaviour of our customers and work with companies that collect information about your online activities to provide advertising targeted to suit your interests and preferences. For example, you may see certain ads on this website or other websites because we contract with Google and other similar companies to target our ads based on information we or they have collected, including information that was collected through automated means (such as cookies and web beacons). These companies also use automated technologies to collect information when you click on our ads, which helps track and manage the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
You may opt out of the automated collection of information by third-party ad networks for the purpose of delivering advertisements tailored to your interests, by visiting the consumer opt-out page for the Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioural Advertising at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and edit or opt-out your Google Display Network ads’ preferences at http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/. Because those opt-out and preference control pages are specific to the individual browser used to visit it, and because that page is not operated by the pnpanelandpaint.com, we are unable to perform the opt-outs on your behalf.
How We Use the Information We Collect
When we collect information from you, we may use it for a number of purposes, including to:
provide our products and services to you
identify your product and service preferences
improve merchandise selections and customer service
provide customer support and respond to your requests, comments and inquiries
comply with and enforce applicable legal requirements, industry standards, our policies, and performing market research, and administering our Website.
We also may use the information in other ways for which we provide specific notice at the time of collection.
In addition, we use information collected online through automated means for purposes such as (i) customizing our users visits to our Website; (ii) delivering content (including advertising) tailored to our users interests and the manner in which our users browse our Website; (iii) measuring and managing the advertising effectiveness of our online and offline advertisements and events; and (iv) managing our business. We also use this information to help diagnose technical and service problems, administer our Website, identify users of our Website, and gather demographic information about our users. We use clickstream data to determine how much time users spend on web pages of our website, how users navigate through our website, and how we may tailor our website to better meet the needs of our users. In order for us to maintain the accuracy of your personal information and improve our communication with you, we may also supplement the information we collect with other public demographic information.
Information We Share
We may share certain information we collect about you with partners or third parties who perform services for us or with whom we contract for the purposes described in this Privacy Notice. For example, we may use third parties to host our Website, operate certain of its features, conduct customer research, manage and analyse data and our advertising effectiveness. Such third-party service providers are given the information that they need to perform their designated functions and we do not authorise them to use or disclose your information for their own or any others marketing purposes.
We also may share the information you provide (i) if we are required to do so by law or legal process, (ii) with law enforcement authorities, or (iii) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent harm or loss, or in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity.
