- Contact with Tyres4U (NZ) about your personal information
If you have any questions or concerns about our policy you can email us: privacy@tyres4u.com.au
1. OUR USE OF YOUR INFORMATION
The more we know about you, the easier it is for us to deliver helpful, relevant information and services. We collect personal and non-personal information to tailor the content you see and to contact you.
However, we will never collect or monitor any personal information about you without your consent. The only personal information we collect is what you tell us about yourself and how you use our site.
SEARCH
When you search on our site, we store the search terms and the site(s) visited so that we can continuously improve the quality of our search results.
COOKIES
We use cookies to make your use of our website and services as convenient as possible. Cookies do not personally identify you; they are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Cookies help us to personalise your experience and generate tailored content. We can also use cookies to monitor the amount of people using our site and how they are using it. Importantly, we do not store any identifying information in any cookies on your computer.
You can set your browser to refuse cookies, but this may mean you cannot log in or take full advantage of our website. You will find advice on how to reset your cookies in your browser’s ‘Help’ section.
2. THIRD PARTY DISCLOSURE
We will not use or disclose any information about you without your consent. There may be exceptional circumstances where this may not be possible, such as if disclosure is required by law or is necessary to protect the rights or property of Tyres4U or any member of the public, or to lessen a serious threat to a person’s health or safety.
3. YOUR CHOICES
You are given choices when we ask for personal information and, whenever possible, we try to explain why we ask for information. You can always refuse to provide personal information, but this may mean that some site features will not function properly as a result.
UPDATING YOUR INFORMATION
You have the right to access most personal information we hold about you and if we deny access in some circumstances we will tell you why. To request access, please contact our privacy officer whose details are set out below.
EMAILS
Email communication that you send to us via links on our site may be shared with an employee. If you provide personal information in your email, it will be used only for the purposes of answering your email.
4. OUR SECURITY MEASURES
We are dedicated to protecting the security of your information. Your electronic information is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities. Our employees have limited access to your personal information and those who misuse your information will be disciplined and possibly terminated. However, as we cannot guarantee the security of communications over the Internet, we cannot give an absolute assurance that your information will be secure at all times.
FUTURE CHANGES
As we evolve and introduce new services and features on our site and in our business, our policies will be reviewed and may be revised. We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time and notify you by posting an updated version of the policy on our web site. The amended Privacy Policy will apply between us whether or not we have given you specific notice of any change. If you don’t agree with the new policy, you always have the option of not visiting this site.
5. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Directors and employees must ensure that confidential information about the Company and customers is not disclosed to third parties, except where appropriately authorised or legally mandated.
