Payment providers have their own security and privacy practices governing the information they process.

6. Cookies and website technology

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies.

Cookies are small files stored on your device which help websites operate and provide information about how websites are used.

Transactional communications concerning an order, payment, warranty, safety notice or service booking are not marketing communications and may still be sent when necessary.

8. Who we may share information with

We do not sell your personal information.

We may provide information to trusted third parties where reasonably necessary to operate our business or provide services to you.

These may include:

  • website hosting and e-commerce providers;
  • payment processing providers;
  • courier and freight companies;
  • IT and cloud service providers;
  • email and communications providers;
  • analytics and marketing providers;
  • product suppliers and manufacturers where required for warranty, recall or product-support purposes;
  • professional advisers such as accountants, insurers and legal advisers; and
  • government, regulatory or law-enforcement authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

We require service providers handling information on our behalf to protect that information appropriately.

9. Information stored or processed outside New Zealand

Some of the technology, cloud, payment, analytics, communications or other service providers we use may store or process information outside New Zealand.

Where personal information is disclosed to an overseas organisation, we will take reasonable steps to ensure the disclosure complies with the requirements of the Privacy Act 2020, including Information Privacy Principle 12 where applicable.

This may include ensuring the recipient is subject to appropriate privacy protections or contractual safeguards.

10. Protecting your information

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against:

  • loss;
  • unauthorised access;
  • misuse;
  • alteration;
  • disclosure; and
  • destruction.

These measures may include physical security, password protection, access controls, secure technology providers, software security and staff procedures.

However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing information electronically can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If we become aware of a privacy breach that has caused or is likely to cause serious harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner as required by the Privacy Act 2020.

11. How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purposes for which it was collected or to meet our legal, tax, accounting, warranty and business obligations.

When information is no longer required, we may securely delete, destroy or anonymise it.

Some transaction and accounting records may need to be retained for longer periods to comply with New Zealand law.

12. Accessing or correcting your information

You have the right to ask us whether we hold personal information about you.

You may also ask:

  • for access to your personal information; or
  • for incorrect or incomplete personal information to be corrected.

To make an access or correction request, contact our Privacy Officer using the details below.

We may need to verify your identity before providing personal information.

There may be limited circumstances under the Privacy Act 2020 where we are permitted to withhold particular information.

13. Information about other people

If you provide us with personal information about another person — for example, a delivery recipient, gift recipient or another person involved in a service or warranty request — you should ensure you are authorised to provide that information.

We will only use that information for the purpose for which it was provided, unless another use is permitted by law.

Where required by the Privacy Act, we will take reasonable steps to ensure the person is made aware that we have collected their information.

14. Links to other websites

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties, including manufacturers, suppliers or social media platforms.

Coppins Outdoors is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information.
