Damart, Innovations, The Fox Collection, Entertainment Masters, Victoria Hill and Gaiam highly value the strong relationship we have with our customers; often these relationships have been built up over many years. The data we collect will be handled sensitively and securely and with proper regard for privacy. Innovations, The Fox Collection, Damart, Entertainment Masters, Victoria Hill and Gaiam were involved in the development of and fully support the 'National Privacy Principles' launched in December 2001. These principles have been incorporated in our Privacy Policy which is set out below.
We will limit the collection and use of customer information to the minimum we require to deliver superior service to our customers, which includes advising our customers about our products, services and other opportunities, and to administer our business. We therefore maintain the name, postal and email addresses, telephone number, payment and order processing information of customers when they order from us. We will not ask you to answer any intrusive personal questions. The information you provide to us is used for billing and delivery purposes and to measure customer interest in our products.
We will only ever use your email address so that we can:
- Contact you about your order or answer a query, or
- Send you newsletters and special offers from time to time.
If you wish not to receive newsletters and special offer emails, you may unsubscribe from the option on any email sent or by contacting us. Your email address is private and we will never sell it to third parties.
Any personal information that you give us is private. We will not release personal information to persons or entities without your explicit consent. Exceptions to this are:
- Where from time to time, we may facilitate offers from reputable companies that have interesting products and services. These companies are not permitted to retain any customer information unless the customer has specifically expressed interest in their products or services;
- Where we are required by law to disclose certain information;
- If you have ordered a product from us that requires personalisation, or delivery to you by an external company;
- You are a member of a reward or other club and your order must be verified so that you will receive your reward/benefit.
As part of the National Privacy Principles, customers can advise us at any time if they:
- Do not wish to receive information from reputable companies
- No longer wish to receive product information from either Innovations, The Fox Collection, Damart, Entertainment Masters, Victoria Hill and Gaiam.
Customers can advise us of either of the above by fax (09 578 0066) or mail (Damart, PO Box 18101, Glen Innes, Auckland 1743) or on our website for registered customers. If a customer advises us that they no longer wish to receive product information from Innovations, The Fox Collection, Damart, Entertainment Masters, Victoria Hill and Gaiam, we will ensure their name is also never passed to reputable companies with interesting product offers.
We have strict agreements with all other organisations that provide us support services to protect your privacy. These organisations are all compliant with the National Privacy Principles. Only authorised employees who are trained in the proper handling of customer information have access to that information. Customers can advise us if any of their information requires updating. Customers may request to see the details we maintain on them in our customer file by forwarding a signed written request to us.
