Privacy Policy

Last updated: 12 June, 2018

This privacy policy discloses how the Ashton Wylie Charitable Trust (AWCT) collects, protects, uses and shares information gathered about you on our www.awct.org.nz web site (the "Site"). We hope that this policy will help increase your confidence in our Site and enhance your experience on the Internet.

As a general guideline, AWCT is committed to protecting your privacy and to ensuring you have a secure online experience. You can surf through most of our site without providing us any information about yourself. In some instances, however, we do need information to provide services that you may request. This privacy policy explains how we use and collect data about you in those situations.

Collection of Personal Information

We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you (personal information) or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you are asked to register before making a purchase, or when signing up for our Online Newsletter. Personal information collected by AWCT often is limited to your name and e-mail address, but may include delivery and contact details when required to effect a purchase or register for an event.

AWCT's Use of Personal Information

We use your personal information for three primary purposes:

  • To make the site easier for you to use by not making you enter your personal information more than once
  • To deliver orders to the correct address
  • To alert you to new information and events from AWCT (if you sign up to our newsletter)

AWCT will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal process served on AWCT or the Site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of AWCT and its Site, and, (c) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of the Site, or the public.

Control of your Personal Information

When you register, or otherwise give us personal information, AWCT will not share that information with third parties without your permission, other than for the limited exceptions already listed. It will only be used for the purposes stated above.

Security of your Personal Information

AWCT strictly protects the security of your personal information and will honor your choices for its intended use. We carefully protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Your personal information is never shared outside the company with any third parties without your permission, except under conditions explained above.

Cookies

To ensure we are publishing content customers need and want, AWCT collects aggregated site-visitation statistics. We do not track individuals' use of the site.

When someone visits the site, a cookie is placed on the customer's machine when making an order (if the customer accepts cookies) or is read if the customer has visited the site previously.

If you choose to disable cookies in your browser, you will still be able to view the website and products, however you will not experience a personalized visit.

Changes to this Policy

AWCT will occasionally update this privacy statement. When we do, we will also revise the "last updated" date at the top of the privacy statement. For material changes to this Statement, AWCTt will notify you by placing prominent notice on the Web site.
