INFORMATION COLLECTION PRACTICES:
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal Information is data that can be used to identify or contact a single person and refers to any information that you voluntarily submit to us, including contact information (email, telephone number, address, date of birth), financial data (such as debit and credit card details) and other information about you and/or your business (“personal information”). In each case, you will be asked to provide such personal information - the website will not gather it surreptitiously. We may supplement the personal information provided by you with additional personal information gathered from public sources or from third parties who may lawfully provide such information to us. You are under no obligation to provide personal information, with the caveat that if you choose not to do so, in many cases we will not be able to provide you with our products or services, or respond to any queries you may have.
When you subscribe to our mailing list, purchase a product, contact us or participate in an online survey or competition, we may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences and credit card information.
We may hold information about you which includes sensitive personal information, such as health information. We will only hold this data when we need to for the purposes of the product or services we provide to you or where we have a legal obligation to do so.
The website may contain features, including without limitation, public profiles, chat rooms, forums, message boards and news groups that permit the website user to upload, post, transmit, display, perform or distribute content, information or other, including personal information. Any information that you choose to disclose by means of such features becomes public information over which we are unable to exercise control. You should exercise caution when deciding to disclose personal information by means of such features and agree to assume all responsibility for doing so.

We may in such instances refer to you first name. You hereby consent to such use of any testimonial, review or feedback provided to us.
Sometimes, we may need to ask for your consent to use sensitive Personal Information about you. Before we are asked to give your consent, we will tell you what information we collect and what we use it for. You can remove your consent at any time by contacting us.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Trinity Wharf has implemented and maintains reasonable security procedures and practices to protect against unauthorised access, use, modification, destruction or disclosure of your personal information.
Trinity Wharf stores user’s data on secure servers, protected from unauthorised use or disclosure. Personal information may be transferred outside of New Zealand. Your personal information may also be processed by staff operating outside of New Zealand, who work for the company, or one of its suppliers. By submitting your personal information, you agree to this transfer, storing and processing. Trinity Wharf will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Statement.
Trinity Wharf uses a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect Personal Information from unauthorised access and use. As effective as modern security practices are, no physical or electronic security system is entirely secure. Trinity Wharf cannot guarantee the complete security of our database, nor can we guarantee that information you supply will not be intercepted while being transmitted to use over the internet. Any transmission of data, therefore is provided at the user’s own risk.
RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Trinity Wharf will retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Statement unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law. We will delete this information if we have no legitimate reason to be in possession of it from our servers upon receipt of an express written request to do so.
COLLECTION AND USE OF NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION
Like most websites, our website automatically gathers information of the sort that browsers automatically make available, including (i) IP addresses; (ii) domain servers; (iii) types of computers accessing the website; and (iv) types of web browsers accessing the website (collecting “traffic data”). Traffic Data is anonymous information that does not on its own, personally identify the user or permit direct association with any specific individual. If we do combine Traffic Data with Personal Information, the combined information will be treated as Personal Information for so long as it remains combined. We may collect, use, transfer and disclose Traffic Data for any purpose. The following are some examples of Traffic Data that we may collect and how we may use it:
We may collect information such as occupation, language, area code, referrer URL, location and time zone so that we can better understand customer behaviours and improve our products, services and advertising
We may collect and store details of how you use our website, including search queries. This information may be used to improve the relevancy of results provided by our services

By using our website, you agree to Trinity Wharf’s use of cookies. We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as Traffic Data. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information, we will treat such identifiers as personal information.
