You acknowledge that this
Privacy Policy is part of our Site Terms of Use, and by
accessing or using our site, you agree to be bound by all of
its terms and conditions. If you do not agree to these
terms, please do not access or use this site.
We reserve the right to
change this Privacy Policy at any time. Such changes,
modifications, additions or deletions shall be effective
immediately upon notice thereof, which may be given by any
means including, but not limited to issuing an e-mail to the
e-mail address listed when you order a product or service or
posting the revised Policy on this page or somewhere else on
our website. You acknowledge and agree that it is your
responsibility to maintain a valid e-mail address as a
customer or user of our website, review this site and this
Policy periodically and to be aware of any modifications.
Your continued use of the site after such modifications will
constitute your:
(a) Acknowledgment of the modified Policy; and
(b) Agreement to abide and be bound by the modified Policy.
1. What information
do we collect from you?
In order to better provide
you with our numerous services, we collect two types of
information about our users:
A- Personally Identifiable Information and
B- Non-Personally Identifiable Information.
Our primary goal in collecting information from you is to
provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized
experience while using our site.
A- Personally
Identifiable Information: This refers to information
that lets us know the specifics of who you are. When you
engage in certain activities on this site, such as ordering
a product or service, entering a contest or sweepstakes,
filling out a survey, or sending us feedback, we may ask you
to provide certain information about yourself by filling out
and submitting an online form. It is completely optional for
you to engage in these activities. If you elect to engage in
these activities, however, we may ask that you provide us
personal information, such as your first and last name,
mailing address (including zip code), email address,
employer, job title and department, telephone and facsimile
numbers, and other personal identifying information. When
ordering products or services on the site, you may be asked
to provide a credit card number. Depending upon the
activity, some of the information we ask you to provide is
identified as mandatory and some as voluntary. If you do not
provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular
activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
B-Non-Personally
Identifiable Information: This refers to information
that does not by itself identify a specific individual. We
gather certain information about you based upon where you
visit on our site in several ways. This information is
compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated
basis. This information may include the Web site's Uniform
Resource Locator ("URL") that you just came from, which URL
you go to next, what browser you are using, and your
Internet Protocol ("IP") address. An URL is the global
address of documents and other resources on the World Wide
Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device
on a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
("TCP/IP") network, such as the World Wide Web. Networks
like the Web use the TCP/IP protocol to route information
based on the IP address of the destination. In other words,
an IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to
your computer whenever you are surfing the web, allowing web
servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers
require IP addresses in order for users to communicate on
the Internet.
2. Where do we
collect information from you and how do we use it?
We do not collect any
Personally Identifiable Information about you unless you
voluntarily provide it to us. You provide certain Personally
Identifiable Information to us when you:
(a) Enter sweepstakes or
contests sponsored by us or one of our partners;
(c) Sign up for special
offers from selected third parties;
(d) Send e-mail messages,
submit forms or transmit other information by telephone or
letter; or
(e) Submit your credit card
or other payment information when ordering and purchasing
products and services on our site including but not limited
to web hosting services.
We may also collect
information from you at other points on our site that state
that such information is being collected.
In addition, we may also
collect, or our third party ad server and/or content server
may collect, certain Non-Personally Identifiable
Information. This information is ultimately stored in the
form of store categories, and, in some cases, specific URLs.
We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our
servers, software, to administer our site and to gather
demographic information. Our third party ad servers will
also provide us with summary, but not individual, reports
that will tell us how many ads were presented and clicked
upon at our site.
We will primarily use your
Personally Identifiable Information to provide our services
to you, as required by our agreements with you. We will also
use Personally Identifiable Information to enhance the
operation of our site, fill orders, improve our marketing
and promotional efforts, statistically analyze site use,
improve our product and service offerings, and customize our
site's content, layout, and services. We may use Personally
Identifiable Information to deliver information to you and
to contact you regarding administrative notices. We may also
use Personally Identifiable Information to resolve disputes,
troubleshoot problems and enforce our agreements with you,
including our Site Terms of Use, Sales Terms and Conditions,
and this Private Policy.
3. With whom do we
share your information?
We do not sell, trade, or
rent your Personally Identifiable Information to others. We
do provide some of our services through contractual
arrangements with affiliates, services providers, partners
and other third parties. We and our service partners use
your Personally Identifiable Information to operate our
sites and to deliver their services. For example, we must
release your credit card information to the card-issuing
bank to confirm payment for products and services purchased
on this site; release your address information to the
delivery service to deliver products that you ordered; and
provide order information to third parties that help us
provide customer service.
Occasionally we may be
required by law enforcement or judicial authorities to
provide Personally Identifiable Information to the
appropriate governmental authorities. We will disclose
Personally Identifiable Information upon receipt of a court
order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a law enforcement
investigation. We fully cooperate with law enforcement
agencies in identifying those who use our services for
illegal activities. We reserve the right to report to law
enforcement agencies any activities that we in good faith
believe to be unlawful.
We may also provide
Non-Personally Identifiable Information about our
customers' sales, traffic patterns, and related site
information to third party advertisers, but these statistics
do not include any Personally Identifiable Information.
4. How can you update
or correct your Personally Identifiable Information?
We believe you should have
the ability to access and edit the Personally Identifiable
Information that you have provided to us. You may change any
of your Personally Identifiable Information in your account
online at any time by linking to your account in accordance
with instructions posted elsewhere on this site. You may
also access and correct your personal information and
privacy preferences by contacting us at:
http://www.nzwebit.com/help
Or by Email:
data@nzwebit.com
Please include your name,
address, current account type, domain name and/or e-mail
address when you contact us.
We encourage you to
promptly update your Personally Identifiable Information if
it changes. You may ask to have the information on your
account deleted or removed; however, because we keep track
of past transactions, you cannot delete information
associated with past transactions on this site. In addition,
it may be impossible to completely delete your information
without some residual information because of backups.
5. What are your
choices regarding collection, use, and distribution of your
information?
We may, from time to time,
send you e-mail regarding our products and services. In
addition, if you indicated upon registration that you are
interested in receiving offers or information from us and
our partners, we may occasionally send you direct mail about
products and services that we feel may be of interest to
you. Only NZ WEB IT (or agents working on behalf of NZ WEB
IT and under confidentiality agreements) will send you these
direct mailings and only if you indicated that you do not
object to these offers. If you do not want to receive such
mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal
information. Or, at any time you can easily edit your
account information to no longer receive such offers and
mailings.
You also have choices with
respect to cookies, as described below. By modifying your
browser preferences, you have the choice to accept all
cookies, to be notified when a cookie is set, or to reject
all cookies. If you choose to reject all cookies some parts
of our site may not work properly in your case.
6. What security
precautions are in place to protect against the loss,
misuse, or alteration of your information?
At our site you can be
assured that your Personally Identifiable Information is
secure, consistent with current industry standards. The
importance of security for all Personally Identifiable
Information associated with our user is of utmost concern to
us. Your Personally Identifiable Information is protected in
several ways. Access by you to your Personally Identifiable
Information is available through a password and unique
customer ID selected by you. This password is encrypted. We
recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone.
In addition, your Personally Identifiable Information
resides on a secure server that only selected NZ WEB IT
personnel and contractors have access to via password. We
encrypt your Personally Identifiable Information and thereby
prevent unauthorized parties from viewing such information
when it is transmitted to us.
Personal information that
you provide that is not Personally Identifiable Information
also resides on a secure server and is only accessible via
password. Since this information is not accessible from
outside NZ WEB IT you will not be asked to select a password
in order to view or modify such information.
In order to most
efficiently serve you, credit card transactions and order
fulfillment are handled by established third party banking,
processing agents and distribution institutions. They
receive the information needed to verify and authorize your
credit card or other payment information.
Unfortunately, no data
transmission over the Internet or any wireless network can
be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we
strive to protect your Personally Identifiable Information,
you acknowledge that: (a) there are security and privacy
limitations of the Internet which are beyond our control;
(b) the security, integrity and privacy of any and all
information and data exchanged between you and us through
this site cannot be guaranteed; and (c) any such information
and data may be viewed or tampered with in transit by a
third party.
7. Do we use
"cookies"?
When you use our site we
may store cookies on your computer in order to facilitate
and customize your use of our site. A cookie is a small data
text file, which a Web site stores on your computer's hard
drive (if your Web browser permits) that can later be
retrieved to identify you to us. Our cookies store randomly
assigned user identification numbers, the country where you
are located, and your first name to welcome you back to our
site. The cookies make your use of the site easier, make the
site run more smoothly and help us to maintain a secure
site. You are always free to decline our cookies if your
browser permits, but some parts of our site may not work
properly in that case.
We may use an outside ad
serving company to display banner advertisements on our
site. As part of their service, they will place a separate
cookie on your computer. We will not provide any third-party
ad server with any of your Personally Identifiable
Information or information about your purchases. We and our
third party ad server will collect and use Non-Personally
Identifiable Information about you, such as your IP address,
browser type, the server your computer is logged onto, the
area code and zip code associated with your server and
whether you responded to a particular ad. Other advertisers
may also place banner ads on our site in the same manner as
above, but we will not disclose any Personally Identifiable
Information to them.
8. What should you
know about privacy policies and data collection at any third
party sites accessible from our site?
Except as otherwise
discussed in this Privacy Policy, this document only
addresses the use and disclosure of information we collect
from you. Other sites accessible through our site have their
own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure
practices. Please consult each site's privacy policy. We are
not responsible for the policies or practices of third
parties. Additionally, other companies which place
advertising on our site may collect information about you
when you view or click on their advertising through the use
of cookies. We cannot control this collection of
information. You should contact these advertisers directly
if you have any questions about their use of the information
that they collect.
9. What else should
you know about your privacy online?
You must be at least 18
years old to have our permission to use this site. Our
policy is that we do not knowingly collect, use or disclose
Personally Identifiable Information about visitors that are
under 18 years of age.
You should also be aware
that when Personally Identifiable Information is voluntarily
disclosed (i.e. your name, e-mail address, etc.) in the
discussion forums or other public areas on this site, that
information, along with any information disclosed in your
communication, can be collected and used by third parties
and may result in unsolicited messages from third parties.
Such activities are beyond our control and this Policy does
not apply to such information. Any submissions to chat rooms
or other public areas on this site are accepted with the
understanding that they are accessible to all third parties.
If you do not want your comments to be viewed by third
parties, you are advised not to make any submissions.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the
secrecy of your password and/or account information. Please
be careful and responsible whenever you're online.
