Privacy Policy

Last updated: [date]. DRAFT — to be reviewed before the site goes live.

Who we are

This site is operated by NZ Ink Group, a New Zealand business supplying printer consumables. Our contact details are at the bottom of this page.

What we collect

When What Why

You pay Payment is handled by our payment provider. We do not see or store your card number. To take payment
You create an account Email and a password we store only in encrypted form So you can see your order history
You contact us Whatever you tell us, and your printer model To answer your question
You browse Basic technical information: pages visited, browser type, approximate location from your IP address To keep the site working and to understand which pages are useful

What we do not do

  • We do not sell your information to anyone.
  • We do not add you to a mailing list because you bought something. If you want our emails you have to ask for them, and every one has an unsubscribe link that works.
  • We do not store card numbers.

Who else sees it

Only the businesses that make the order happen, and only the part they need:

  • Our courier — your name, address and phone, so they can deliver
  • Our payment provider — handles the payment directly; we receive confirmation, not card details
  • Our hosting and email providers — who store the site and send order emails on our behalf

Some of these providers operate servers outside New Zealand. Where that is the case, your information is protected by that provider’s contractual obligations to us.

Cookies

The site uses cookies to keep your shopping basket working and to remember you are logged in. These are necessary for the site to function. If we add analytics or advertising cookies we will ask you first.

How long we keep it

Order records are kept for seven years, which is what New Zealand tax law requires. Account details are kept until you ask us to delete them. Enquiries that do not become orders are kept for two years.

Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020 you can ask us what personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it if it is wrong. Email us and we will respond within 20 working days.

You can ask us to delete your account at any time. We may have to keep order records for the seven years mentioned above, but we will delete everything we are not required to keep.

Security

The site runs over HTTPS. Passwords are stored encrypted. Access to customer information is limited to the people who need it to do their job.

If something goes wrong and your information is affected in a way that could cause you harm, we will tell you and notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, as the Privacy Act requires.

Questions about this policy, or about information we hold: 0800 INKINK, or email us through the contact details on this site.
