We take steps to ensure that any providers we use can protect the personal information they process for us.

We use the following third party providers:

What we do with your personal information

How we use it

We will only use the personal information you provide to us for the purposes of delivering the services or information you have requested. We may use your personal information to:

  • respond to your enquiry or request for service or information
  • send you marketing and news about Croptide and its services that you have requested (by email and other electronic means)
  • improve our Website and the delivery of our online services
  • conduct internal statistical analysis to ensure that content is presented in the most effective manner for you

Sharing your personal information

Your personal information is shared internally within our business and with selected third party service providers as required to perform our business services and activities (see Third party providers section above).

We may also occasionally share your personal information with our partners and contractors such as IT and website hosting providers, marketers, advisors, data storage providers, and only on a need-to-know basis.

We will never sell or trade your personal information to any third party or use your email address for unsolicited mail. Any emails sent by us will only be in connection with the provision of agreed services and products.

Storage and security

We maintain security safeguards to protect your personal information and take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is not disclosed to any unauthorised person or entity.

We use encryption technology to protect your personal information as you enter it on our Website, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Website; any transmission is at your own risk.

The data that we collect from you is stored and processed with our server providers in New Zealand, Australia and the United States. Data may also be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside of these locations. It may also be processed by staff operating outside New Zealand who work for us or for one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes for which it was initially collected (or to which you have consented), for other legitimate purposes (such as regulatory compliance) or as required by applicable laws.

Our Website may contain links to third party websites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices, or content, of these websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
