RIEDEL collects and uses personally identifiable information in a limited number of ways. We use the information we collect to complete transactions, track and verify orders, send you information about promotional or special offers (if you have so requested), and respond to your inquiries.

We may also collect information about someone other than you, including that person’s name, shipping or mailing address, telephone number, and email address when you purchase a gift, gift certificate, or perform a similar transaction for the benefit of a third person on our website.
• Information We Collect Automatically: We automatically collect certain types of information whenever you interact with us on our website, such as your IP address and the type of Web browser you use. This information may be linked to personally identifiable information if you have registered with us in the "My Account" section of our website.
• Information We Obtain from Other Sources: We may obtain information about you from outside sources and add it to, or combine it with, your personally identifiable information, including information such as:
  • Credit information that allows us to complete transactions of RIEDEL products and services;
  • Commercially available demographic and marketing information from third parties that allow us to improve our quality of service to you and inform you of products and services that may be of interest to you;
  • Update delivery and address information from our shipping agents and other sources, which allows us to maintain current and accurate records to improve our quality of service for your benefit.

We use information held about you in the following ways:

• To carry out our obligations arising from any contracts entered into between you and us.
• To allow you to participate in interactive features of our service when you choose to do so.
• To notify you about changes to our service.

We may also use your data, or permit selected third parties to use your data, to provide you with information about goods and services which may be of interest to you, and they or we may contact you about these by email.

We may also share your information with certain third parties in order to provide you with details on promotions, contests, other events or related products that may be of interest to you. These third parties are bound to follow the terms of this Privacy Policy when they handle your information.

We do not share your personally identifiable information with other third parties, other than as permitted under the Privacy Act and as set out in this Privacy Policy. We share your information with certain third parties, such as processors of credit card transactions, who help us perform the functions set out in this Privacy Policy. We also may share information when we are legally required to do so, such as in the case of an investigation, legal process, or other legal proceeding. We also may share information to protect against misuse or unauthorised use of our website. In addition, we may share information to limit our legal liability and to protect our rights or property, our website, or the rights or property of our customers or members of the public.

We may collect information about your computer, including your IP address, operating system and browser type, for system administration and to report "aggregate information" to our advertisers. "Aggregate Information" is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns that we collect, from which individual customer identities have been removed.

For the same reason, we may obtain information about your general Internet usage by using a cookie file which is stored on the hard drive of your computer. Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. They help us to improve our site and to deliver a better and more personalised service. They enable us:

• To estimate our audience size and usage pattern.
• To store information about your preferences, and so allow us to customise our site according to your individual interests.
• To speed up your searches.
• To recognise you when you return to our site.

You may refuse to accept cookies by activating the setting on your browser, which allows you to refuse the setting of cookies. However, if you select this setting, you may be unable to access certain parts of our site. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting to refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you log on to our site.

Please note that our advertisers and third-party websites may also use cookies, over which we have no control.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using secure socket layer (SSL) technology. The encryption process converts the characters that you enter into code that is then securely transmitted over the Internet. When you place an order, a small padlock will appear at the bottom of your browser, indicating that a third party cannot view any information provided.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

RIEDEL does not knowingly collect, either actively or passively, any information, including personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not provide personally identifiable information of any kind whatsoever.

If it is brought to our attention that a user is underage, we will immediately remove all personally identifiable information from our records in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.

You can access and edit any personally identifiable information you have provided by entering your email address and password and using the "Update Account" feature in the "My Account" section.

You may also change your personal information in your account profile. You may also be able to change your profile by writing us at RSN New Zealand P/L, PO Box 99841, Newmarket 1149 Auckland.

If you are an existing customer, we will only contact you by electronic means with information about goods and services similar to those which were the subject of a previous sale to you or where you have consented.

If you are a new customer and where we permit selected third parties to use your data, we (or they) will contact you by electronic means only if you have consented to this.

If you do not want us to use your data in this way, or to pass your details on to third parties for marketing purposes, please tick the relevant box situated on the form on which we collect your data (the order form). In addition, you can opt out of receiving such communications from us at any time by following instructions provided at the bottom of the e-mail communication or by e-mailing us at info@rsn.co.nz.

By using our website, you consent to our collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page. You should refer back to this page for the latest information and the effective date of any changes.
