Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Here at The Fabric Store, we respect our customers’ privacy, and take all reasonable steps to comply with the New Privacy Act 1993 (New Zealand) and the Privacy Act 1988 (Australia). By interacting with our website, you agree to the way in which we collect, store and use your personal information, as outlined below:
We, The Fabric Store, may collect and hold personal information from you. Personal information means information about an individual and can include names, contact and address details, dates of birth, and other information which may be used to identify an individual.
Providing personal information is not a requirement in order to use our website. Personal information is collected and used only when it is voluntarily provided to us either by signing up to our newsletter, or when you contact us in relation to enquiries and requests. If you do not wish to provide us with the minimum personal information necessary for a particular purpose (such as our newsletter), we will not be able to provide you with that service. Where possible however, we will allow you to deal with us anonymously or by using a pseudonym.
We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information collected is accurate, up to date, and protected from loss, misuse or unauthorised disclosure.
We will never share your personal information with third parties apart from those identified in this Policy (unless we are authorised to do so or are required to by law) or disclose your personal information to an overseas recipient. For the avoidance of doubt, your personal information is not used to make automated decisions.
There are a number of third party service providers that we work with, which allow us to provide you with the most efficient user experience:
Our website is hosted on Craft CMS and we have a Data Processing Agreement in place. Craft provides us with a CMS platform and add-ons that allows us to market our products and services to you. You may find out more about Craft’s privacy policy at the following link: https://craftcms.com/privacy

This anonymous data is stored by Google Analytics for a period of 26 months in accordance with its policy, following which it is deleted.
