Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

SECTION 1 – INFORMATION COLLECTION

When you purchase something from our store, we collect personal information you provide, such as your name, address, and email address, as part of the buying and selling process.

When you browse our store, we also automatically receive your computer’s internet protocol (IP) address to help us learn about your browser and operating system.

Email Marketing (if applicable): With your permission, we may send you emails about our store, new products, and other updates.

SECTION 2 – CONSENT

HOW DO YOU GET MY CONSENT?

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery, or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, such as marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent or provide you with an opportunity to decline.

HOW DO I WITHDRAW MY CONSENT?

If you change your mind after opting in, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, or for the continued collection, use, or disclosure of your information, at any time by contacting us at contact@mountkiwi.co.nz.

SECTION 3 – DISCLOSURE

We may disclose your personal information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service.

SECTION 4 – SHOPIFY

Our store is hosted on the Shopify platform, providing us with the online e-commerce platform to sell our products and services to you.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

In general, third-party providers used by us will only collect, use, and disclose your information to the extent necessary to perform the services they provide.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we are required to provide to them for purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend you read their privacy policies to understand how your personal information will be handled.

Please note that certain providers may be located in or have facilities in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. Therefore, if you proceed with a transaction that involves a third-party service provider, your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that provider or its facilities are located.

For example, if you are in Canada and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway in the United States, your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation, including the Patriot Act.

Once you leave our store’s website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our website’s Terms of Service.

Links: When you click on links in our store, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements.

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we offload all transactions to our third-party providers. This ensures that your credit card and bank details are protected by the latest security measures.

Customer Credit Card Details: We do not retain customer credit card details. In New Zealand, merchants are prohibited from storing customer credit card information, thereby ensuring the highest level of security and privacy. When you enter your credit card information on our website, it is securely transmitted to our payment processor, who handles the transaction.

Payment Providers: When you select payment providers such as Shop Pay, PayPal, Stripe, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Amazon Pay, they retain your credit card details, not us. This may create the appearance that we store your information, but it is securely managed by these providers.

These providers employ various security measures to protect your information, including:

1. Encryption: All sensitive information is encrypted during transmission.
2. Tokenization: Credit card details are replaced with a unique identifier for added security.
3. PCI-DSS Compliance: Providers comply with stringent industry standards for data protection.
4. Secure Servers: Data is stored on secure servers protected by advanced security measures.
5. Two-Factor Authentication: Additional layers of security are implemented to verify user identity.
6. Continuous Monitoring: Systems are continuously monitored for potential threats and unauthorized access.

By using these secure payment providers, you are ensured that your financial information is handled with the utmost care and protection.

SECTION 7 – AGE OF CONSENT

By using this site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your country or province to purchase products from Mount Kiwi Clothing.

SECTION 8 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon posting on the website. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here, so you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

If our store is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue to sell products to you.
