Privacy Policy

INTRODUCTION

Tree Scene complies with the New Zealand Privacy Policy Act 1993 when dealing with personal information. Personal information is information about an identifiable individual (a natural person).

This policy sets out how we will collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information.

This policy does not limit or exclude your rights under the Act. If you wish to seek further information on the Act, see www.privacy.org.nz.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may change this policy by uploading a revised policy onto the website. The change will apply from the date that we upload the revised policy.

WHO DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM

We collect personal information about you from:

you, when you provide that personal information to us, including via the website and any related service, through any registration or subscription process, through any contact with us (e.g. telephone call or email), or when you buy or use our services and products
third parties where you have authorised this or the information is publicly available.

If possible, we will collect personal information from you directly.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will use your personal information:

to provide services and products to you
to market our services and products to you, including contacting you electronically (e.g. by text or email for this purpose)
to improve the services and products that we provide to you
to bill you and to collect money that you owe us, including authorising and processing credit card transactions
to respond to communications from you, including a complaint
to conduct research and statistical analysis (on an anonymised basis)
to protect and/or enforce our legal rights and interests, including defending any claim

DISCLOSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose your personal information to:

any business that supports our services and products, including any person that hosts or maintains any underlying IT system or data centre that we use to provide the website or other services and products
other third parties (for anonymised statistical information)
a person who can require us to supply your personal information (e.g. a regulatory authority)
any other person authorised by the Act or another law (e.g. a law enforcement agency)

[A business that supports our services and products may be located outside New Zealand. This may mean your personal information is held and processed outside New Zealand.]

PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss, unauthorised activity, or other misuse.

ACCESSING AND CORRECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Subject to certain grounds for refusal set out in the Act, you have the right to access your readily retrievable personal information that we hold and to request a correction to your personal information. Before you exercise this right, we will need evidence to confirm that you are the individual to whom the personal information relates.

Regarding a request for correction, if we think the correction is reasonable and we can change the personal information, we will make the correction.

If you want to exercise either of the above rights, email us at admin@treescene.co.nz. Your email should provide evidence of who you are and set out the details of your request (e.g. the personal information or the correction, that you are requesting).

We may charge you our reasonable costs of providing to you with copies of your personal information or correcting that information.

INTERNET USE

While we take reasonable steps to maintain secure internet connections, if you provide us with personal information over the internet, the provision of that information is at your own risk.

If you follow a link on our website to another site, the owner of that site will have its own privacy policy relating to your personal information. We suggest you review that site’s privacy policy before you provide personal information.
