We respect your right to privacy and your right to view and update your personal information which we hold about you. We are committed to protecting your privacy when you visit our site or contact us in any way.

 

Collecting your personal information

We collect and use personal information about you in order to be able to complete your order. Personal information includes any information that could be used to identify you as an individual (Personal Identifying Information). We will only collect and use the information that you explicitly provide to us. The Personal Identifying Information that we may specifically request from you will be limited to: your credit card information, your birth date, your name, your physical address, your contact address, your billing address, your contact number(s) and/or your email address.

 

Storing and processing your personal information

The personal information you provide to us will only be stored for the purpose stated to you at the time it is collected. Your personal information may be processed by a third-party. We use third-parties to host our website, to process payment, to fulfil orders and to conduct marketing information. Your personal information will only be disclosed to a third party with your explicit consent, and only to the extent necessary to fulfil the purpose(s) for which it has been collected. See the section below for a full list of third-parties that may process your data using the consent that you provide to us.

When you set up your profile, you can choose to store your personal information on the Site in a secure server. This is so you can view and update it as necessary. Your personal information is only able to be accessed by entering your username and password.

We use an encrypted token to access your credit card details via a secure third-party payment gateway.

You can also purchase without storing your details, in which case we hold your details until your order is completed and your payment is confirmed. After your order is complete, these details are deleted from the system.

The following types of third parties are used to store and/or process your personal data:

  • Customer Service Enquiry System Providers
  • Email Marketing Platforms
  • Booking Systems
  • Warehouse Facilities
  • Payment Gateways

You can do this on the Site by entering your username and password and going to the My Wētā section and logging in with your username and password.

Alternatively, you may contact us at [email protected].

You also have the right to request any personal information stored about you and to have any personal information stored about you deleted (your right to erasure).

You may do this by completing a Subject Access Request form (SAR). To do this, please contact our data representative at [email protected].

Collecting site usage information

We monitor site usage by analysing aggregated user information. This helps us improve the Site to give you the information, services and features you want. This information is aggregated and does not identify you individually.

We do monitor the number of successful logins on each subscriber user name. This allows us to identify potential abuse or unauthorised use of the Site.

 

Cookies

Wētā Workshop uses "cookies" to improve your use of Wētā Workshop services.

We use temporary (per-session) cookies, for the following purposes:
