To help us to better meet your needs we need to get to know you, so we’ll collect information about who you are and how you interact with our website, SizeXchange.co.nz. There are all sorts of rules involved in keeping and using your details and it’s really important to us that your personal information is respected. So whenever we collect information, we’ll always look after it, and comply with New Zealand's Privacy Act.
The following helps to explain what those privacy rules are and how we plan to follow them.

1.0:    Whenever we say "we", "us", or "our" we mean SizeXchange Limited.

And anytime we say "you" we are talking about you, the person out there, on SizeXchange.co.nz, doing what you’re doing. We call our website "SizeXchange" and whenever we talk about "SizeXchange" (without the Limited) we are referring to SizeXchange.co.nz and all the things we make available for you to see and do on SizeXchange.co.nz.

2.0 :     How do we collect information? 

Usually we'll just ask you directly. It's the best way to find out who you are. But we'll also find out stuff from others. When you use SizeXchange, our network will automatically generate some information about you. That might sound kind of scary but really it’s not. Here is a list of the kinds of information we collect and how we collect it:

(a.) Information you tell us: When you choose to enter information while on SizeXchange we receive and hold that information. This includes forms you complete, emails you send or any other contact you make with us about SizeXchange. For example: Your SizeXchange Profile, Consumer Reviews, Competitions and Polls, Your Cart, Your Friends, other SizeXchange Community activities, your Feedback and any other contacts with SizeXchange.co.nz.
There is one important exception - we don’t receive or hold your credit card details. SizeXchange uses Payment Express, the best practice online payment system operated by DPS (Direct Payment Solutions Limited). This is a PCI DSS certified agency, who receive and process your credit card payments in the SizeXchange shopping cart. DPS hosts and manages the payment page, which is secured by its own SSL certificate. Your credit card details are stored

(b.) Information generated through SizeXchange: The SizeXchange network automatically generates certain types of information when you use SizeXchange. We receive and hold that information. To do this we mostly use “Cookies” as they help us to keep track of where you go and what you like about SizeXchange. ?Cookies are little bits of information that SizeXchange (and other websites) send to your browser. Your computer can then store that on the system you use to access SizeXchange. You can disable cookies via your browser preferences (you'll need to do this yourself as we're not responsible for your browser). Thing is, if you disable cookies you won't be able to log-in to SizeXchange and get the most out of the personalisation and other stuff that logged-in users can use.

(c.) Information we get from others: Some of our business partners will also give us information about you that we hold on to. For example, Shopping that you started on SizeXchange but finished at the Retailer’s website; Information about the fulfillment of any orders you make on SizeXchange; information from other Telecom companies about you; and information from credit agencies to help us recover and report on money you owe.

3.0 :     So who gives us permission?

By choosing to use SizeXchange, you’re telling us you're happy for us to collect, use and disclose information about you and your use of SizeXchange for various SizeXchange related things that we'll explain a bit further down. Of course, you don't have to tell us everything we ask for or anything at all really. But SizeXchange does work best when we know a bit about you. And sometimes if you don’t give us some of the information we ask for, bits of SizeXchange won’t work at all. But we will always tell you if that is the case.

You can opt out of receiving SizeXchange communications at any time by clicking on the link in your profile at any time or using the "unsubscribe" option in one of our SizeXchange comms. We'll then remove you from the distribution list as quickly as we can.

4.0:    Why are we collecting your information?

Our plan is to make it easy for members to find stuff that they like, and help sellers find buyers like you who are interested in their stuff. It's not rocket science. In order to do this, and make SizeXchange the best it can be, we may use your personal information for different purposes connected with SizeXchange. As an example (but not an exhaustive list) this may include:
• Processing your membership application .?
• Processing your order and making sure you get the goods.?
• Finding out who visits SizeXchange to check if our advertising is working and find out who likes which bits best.?
• Making sure we can offer you more of the products and services that you will like.?
• Finding out what products, retailers and gifts are most popular on SizeXchange and that helps us to provide many of our special SizeXchange features.?
• Keeping you up to date. That means sending emails and other messages about what's happening on SizeXchange, special deals, any reminders you ask us to send you and other stuff you might like to know.?
• Keeping the SizeXchange Community an up to date and relevant place to be.
• Enforcing our legal rights.

5.0    Who will we tell?

SizeXchange Retailers: When you shop on SizeXchange you are buying direct from the retailer. So it’s the retailer who will manage and fulfill your order.

Things like your contact details, delivery address, order details and the first six and last two digits of your credit card so they can manage your order.

6.0     How safe is my information?

As safe as we can make it. We make sure all personal information is exchanged via SSL to guard against access by third parties during transmission. We don’t receive and hold your credit card details.
