Privacy Policy

Last updated: 7th February 2025

1. What Information We Collect

When you purchase something from our store, register on our site, subscribe to our newsletter, or fill out a form, we collect personal information such as your name, address, email, and payment details.

We also automatically receive your IP address to help us understand your browser and operating system for analytics purposes.

The information we collect may be used to:

  • Process transactions and deliver products

  • Improve our website and customer experience

  • Send promotional emails (you can unsubscribe at any time)

2. Consent

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your payment, or arrange a delivery, we assume you consent to its use for that specific purpose.

For any secondary use, such as marketing, we will ask for your explicit consent or provide an opt-out option.

3. Disclosure

We may disclose your information if required by law or if you violate our Terms of Service. Otherwise, we do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties without your consent.

4. Third-Party Services

We use third-party service providers to assist with payment processing, website hosting, and analytics. These providers will only access your information as necessary to perform their services and must comply with their own privacy policies.

Our store is hosted on SquareSpace, which provides us with the online platform to sell our products. Payment transactions are encrypted and handled securely in compliance with PCI-DSS standards.

We also use Google Analytics to understand site usage and improve our services.

5. Security

We take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, or disclosure.

Payment information is encrypted using SSL technology and stored securely. However, no online transmission or storage system is 100% secure.

6. Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies help us remember your preferences, track shopping cart activity, and analyse site traffic. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some site features may not function properly.

7. Age of Consent

By using this site, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, as required by New Zealand law for purchasing alcohol.

8. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes take effect immediately upon posting. It is your responsibility to review this policy periodically.
