What kinds of personal information do we collect and hold?

The personal information we collect and hold is what is reasonably necessary for our business functions and activities. When we collect and hold personal information, it is of the following kinds:
 

• your personal details such as your name, addresses, telephone numbers, age and gender;
• your customer reference number;
•  any rewards and redemption details applicable to your membership of our loyalty programs; and
•  whether you have a connection with others whose personal information we may collect or hold, for example family members who may be linked to your loyalty program membership;
• what, how and when you buy from us or have expressed an interest in buying from us;
• your stated or likely preferences, for example whether you may be interested in particular products or promotions.

• 
  Depending on the nature of your dealings with us, we may collect and hold other types of personal information. For example, information collected and held via our secure financial systems about the debit or credit card you might use for your purchases from us.

How do we collect and hold personal information?

Collection of personal information: When we collect personal information about you, we do so by making a record of it. We do this when:
 

• you register with us, for example to create an account, to become a member of our loyalty programs or to send you information;
• you communicate with us online;
• you take part in our promotions, competitions, testimonials, surveys and focus groups;
• you deal with us in other ways involving a need for personal information to be provided such as when you make a lay-by, please contact us. 

We may also collect personal information about you by accessing data from other sources and then analysing that data together with the information we already hold about you in order to learn more about your likely preferences and interests. 

When you visit our websites, social media pages or mobile applications or click on our advertisements on the online media of other companies, we may collect information about you using technology which is not apparent to you, for example “cookies”. For information about our use of this technology, click on this link to view our Cookie Policy.  

Most of the personal information we collect and hold about you is from your direct dealings with us. We may sometimes collect your personal information other than from you directly. For example from other suppliers who, in common with us, have a relationship with you.

Holding of personal information: Personal information we hold is generally stored in computer systems. These may be operated by us or by our service providers. In New Zealand, personal information will be held by Kolotex Limited. In all cases, we have rigorous information security requirements aimed at eliminating risks of unauthorised access to, and loss, misuse or wrongful alteration of, personal information.
 

How do we protect personal information?

To protect your personal information, we use reasonable precautions and the best way by following the industry to make sure it is safe. In all cases, we have rigorous information security requirements aimed at eliminating risk of unauthorised access to, and loss, misuse or wrongful alteration of, personal information.

Respecting your privacy

Kolotex Limited is committed to compliance with privacy laws which apply to its businesses and which set out standards for the management of personal information.

This policy outlines our personal information management practices. Specifically:
 

• the kinds of personal information we collect and hold;
• how we collect and hold it;
• the purposes for which we collect, hold, use and disclose it;
• your right to access and seek correction of it;
• how you may complain about privacy matters.

There are some matters to which this policy does not apply. By using our websites and/or providing information to us by other means, you consent to the collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this policy. In some circumstances, if you do not provide us with information we may not be able to provide certain goods or services to you.

In this policy, references to “us” or “we” are references to Kolotex Limited. 
 

Why do we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information?

When we collect, hold and use your personal information, we do so primarily to sell and promote our goods and services to you and to improve on the range of our offerings. For example:
 

• to learn of your likely preferences so that we may promote our goods and services to you in a way which may be of most interest to you; and
• to assist in investigating your complaints and enquiries.

We disclose personal information we collect for the purposes of (or for purposes which are directly related to) the sale and promotion of our goods and services to you. We may disclose your personal information, to service providers who assist us in our day-to-day business operations and as part of buying or selling businesses.

We may collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for other purposes authorised by you or which are within reasonable expectations or where permitted by law.

When marketing to you, your personal information is only ever used or disclosed for our own purposes. You may opt out of our direct marketing to you. Our direct marketing materials will tell you how to do this.

We may de-identify your personal information. We may do this for use and disclosure of the anonymous data to determine preferences and shopping patterns.
 

How can you complain about our management of personal information?

If you wish to complain about a breach of the privacy rules that bind us, you may contact us at one of the above contact points. We may ask you to put your complaint in writing and to provide details about it.

We may discuss your complaint with our personnel and our service providers and others as appropriate.

We will investigate the matter and attempt to resolve it in a timely way. We will inform you in writing about the outcome of the investigation. If we do not resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, or at any other time, you may make a complaint to the Privacy Commissioner.
