The information we may collect and process about you includes:

Any such communications you receive will be sent by us. In determining what we think may be of interest to you, we will consider all such information which you provide to us.

Who do we share your Personal Information with?

We may disclose the personal information we collect about you to third parties which may include (but is not limited to):

• Our related entities, affiliates or business partners
• Third party service providers, agents, contractors, suppliers, vendors and other parties who we may engage to assist us in the management and conduct of our business, in providing the services we offer through the Site, processing transactions (for example, payment processors), fulfilling requests for information, receiving and sending communications, distributing marketing materials and updating marketing lists (for example, mailing houses), couriers analysing data, providing support services or in other tasks (for example, website hosting services, third party information storage and database management services), from time to time. Our agents and contractors will only use your information to the extent necessary to perform their functions;
• Government or regulatory bodies and agencies, law enforcement bodies (such as the police), courts of law, if required or authorised to do so by law or if we believe that such action is necessary to prevent fraud or cyber-crime or to protect the Site or the rights, property, or personal safety of any person. For example, we may be required to disclose your personal information to a court of law in response to a subpoena or legal order or to exercise legal rights or defend against claims such as intellectual property infringement;
• Third parties in the event of any reorganisation, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or disposition of all or any portion of our business or operations (including without limitation in connection with bankruptcy or similar proceedings); or
• As otherwise permitted or required by law.

We may disclose aggregate statistics about visitors to the Site, customers and sales in order to describe our services to prospective partners, advertisers, sponsors and other reputable third parties and for other lawful purposes, but these statistics will include no personally identifiable information.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION OVERSEAS

We may also disclose your personal information to overseas recipients for the purposes of conducting our business. For example, we may share the information collected from you with our exclusive suppliers based in Europe.

We may also transfer your personal information to overseas recipients who may assist us in the processing, storage or analysis of your information (for example third party cloud storage service providers), processing of credit card payments or provide technical or website support to us. For example, your personal information may be sent to and stored on secure servers which are necessary to process the information. See Storage of Your Information below.

Countries outside of New Zealand may not always have the same or similar privacy and data protection laws as New Zealand and, in some cases, foreign law may require us to disclose your personal information overseas, for example to an overseas law enforcement authority. Please be aware that you may not be able to seek redress for a breach of privacy in a country outside of New Zealand. However, where we do provide your personal information to third parties, Desejo will take such steps as reasonable to ensure your information is used in accordance with this policy.

Important Notice

In the event that the processing of your personal information involves the disclosure of any information outside New Zealand, you acknowledge that, by providing us with your personal information, you consent to such overseas disclosure. By consenting to such disclosure, you acknowledge that:

1. Desejo will not be accountable under the Privacy Act 2020 for any breach of your privacy by the overseas recipient, and
2. You will not be able to seek redress under the Privacy Act 2020 against Desejo for any breach of your privacy by an overseas recipient.

STORAGE OF YOUR INFORMATION

Information that you submit via the Site will only be stored for as long as we legitimately need it or as required by the law. This information is sent to and stored on secure servers which are necessary in order to process the information.

CHILD SAFETY

Protecting the safety of children when they use the Internet is very important to us. We recommend that children receive permission from their parent or guardian before gaining access to the Site or sending personal information to us or anyone else online.

EXTERNAL LINKS

The Site may, from time to time, contain links to, or from, external sites. These third party websites are not subject to this privacy policy or our privacy practices and procedures and we are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of such sites. This privacy policy applies solely to the management of personal information collected through the Site and services. We strongly encourage you to read the privacy policies of these third party websites for further information about their privacy practices and procedures.

SOCIAL MEDIA

If you choose to, you can use social plug-ins from various social media platforms to share your interest in our products or content you view on the Site and the servers of the relevant social media platform will connect to the Site. Your browser will recognize that you are visiting the Site and if you are a registered user of these social media platforms, and you are logged in to these accounts while accessing our Sites, information will be shared with your personal account on the social media platform. For example, you could ‘Like’ or ‘Tweet’ a product or certain content through your Facebook or Twitter account. For more information, you should visit the privacy policy of the relevant social media platform.

PAYMENT PROCESSING

Payment details you provide will be encrypted (using secure sockets layer (SSL) technology) before they are submitted to us over the internet. Payments made on the Site are made through our payment gateway provider, POLI. You will be providing credit or debit card information directly to POLI which operates a secure server to process payment details, encrypting your credit/debit card information and authorising payment. Information which you supply to POLI is not within our control and is subject to POLI’s own privacy policy and terms and conditions.

 

Keeping your Personal Information safe

We place great importance on the security of all personally identifiable information associated with our users.

We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the loss, misuse, interference, and unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure of personal information under our control.

For example, our security and privacy policies are periodically reviewed and enhanced as necessary and access to your personal information is provided only to authorized personnel who require such access for the purposes of completing their jobs.

You should bear in mind that submission of information over the internet is never entirely secure and whilst we cannot ensure or guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of information will never occur, we use all reasonable efforts and take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to prevent it. We cannot guarantee the security of information you submit via the Sites whilst it is in transit over the internet and any such submission is at your own risk.

It is advisable to close your browser when you have finished your user session to help ensure others do not access your personal information if you use a shared computer or a computer in a public place.

 

Accessing, updating and correcting your Personal Information

Desejo takes such steps as are reasonable to ensure that the personal information that we collect and hold about you is accurate, up-to-date and complete. However, we rely on the accuracy of the personal information you provide to us.

You have a legal right under the Privacy Act to request access to, or obtain a copy of, all the personal information about you held by us. You also have a right to correct any errors in that information.

You may make a request for access to your personal information or the correction of your personal information by:

• Logging into your account on the Site and accessing your profile page to view or correct the personal information recorded on our Site; or
• Contact us using the details listed below under “Contacting Us”, and providing us with the details of your request for access and/or correction.

Once we receive your request, we will endeavor to respond within a reasonable period after your request is made. There are some exceptions, specified by law or regulation, where we may refuse your request. If one of these circumstances applies, we will provide you with a written explanation of the reasons for the refusal, unless it would be unreasonable to do so.

As mentioned above, you have a right to prevent the use of your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
