Privacy Policy

At Hide It we respect your privacy and value the relationship we have with you. This privacy policy applies to you if you are using or visiting our website, or if you are a customer. It sets out how our website operates, and how we collect, use and store personal information (i.e. any information that could be used to identify you personally).

INFORMATION WE COLLECT

You may choose to provide us with personal information when you visit our website. For example, if you decide to complete an application, you will be asked to provide certain information such as your contact information (name, email address, mailing address, and telephone number), age group and gender. If you would prefer that we not collect any personal information from you, please do not provide us with this information, although obviously if you don’t provide us with any information we ask for, it might mean that we won’t be able to supply you with the products you want. We will store and use your information for the purposes and in the ways set out in this policy.

WHAT WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR

You agree that we can use your personal information to do any of the following:
  • Provide other services to you and manage your relationship with us;
  • Help us run our business and meet any legal obligations we have; and
  • Conduct market research and statistical analysis.

WHO WE SHARE INFORMATION WITH

You agree that we can give your information to:
  • Members of the Greenfield Global Group (being any company or business that is associated with HIDE IT)
  • Our agents and people who provide us with services;
  • Reputable market research organisations (you can opt out of this if you want)
  • Credit reporting agencies who may hold and use that information to provide their credit reporting services;
  • Debt collection agencies and law firms;
  • Anyone we transfer our rights and obligations to in connection with your account or products, or that we are considering transferring them to; and
We will not provide your personal information to anyone outside HIDE IT or the Greenfield Global Group for marketing purposes except as set out in this policy.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

We might sometimes be legally required to give your personal information to someone. For example, we might have to give it to the police or a government agency like the Inland Revenue. We will only provide the information if we reasonably believe the person asking for it is properly authorised to do so or that we are required by law to provide it, and we will always try to let you know beforehand (unless we are prevented from doing so by law or practically). Additionally, we may also disclose any information when it is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss, or where we suspect illegal activity.

HOW WE PROTECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We maintain reasonable safeguards to protect this website against unauthorised disclosure, use, alteration or destruction of the personal information you provide on the site and we comply with our obligations under the Privacy Act 1993. Information may be stored physically or electronically and will be kept securely. We will take reasonable steps to ensure your information is accurate although that depends primarily on you providing us with the correct information and keeping it updated. You can check your information and if it is not correct, ask us to update it. We won’t give your personal information to anyone else except in the circumstances set out in this policy or in any other agreement you have with us. If you have any questions about our website’s security you can send an email to info@hideit.co.nz.

UPDATES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We may revise this policy from time to time. If we decide to do so, we will post the revised policy here. We suggest that you periodically check. The effective date of the policy is at the top of this page.
