Privacy Policy

Ceylon Seamstress complies with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 (the Act) 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 any of your rights under the Act. 

If you wish to seek further information on the Act, see www.privacy.org.nz.

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.

This policy was last updated on 19/04/2024.

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 verify your identity.
• 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 transactions.
• To respond to communications from you, including a complaint.
• For any other purpose authorised by you or the Act.

DISCLOSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose your personal information to:

• 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).
• Any other person authorised by you.

We may transfer your information in the case of a sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation,

reorganisation or acquisition.

PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will take reasonable steps to keep your personal information safe 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.

In respect of a request for correction, if we think the correction is reasonable and we are reasonably

able to change the personal information, we will make the correction. If we do not make the

correction, we will take reasonable steps to note on the personal information that you requested the

correction.

If you want to exercise either of the above rights, email us at ceylonseamstress@gmail.com. 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 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.

COOKIES

We use cookies (an alphanumeric identifier that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive so that we

can recognise your browser) to monitor your use of the website. You may disable cookies by

changing the settings on your browser, although this may mean that you cannot use all of the features

of the website.
