Privacy Policy

Effective Date : 18 September 2019

1. PURPOSE

At Cocktail Collective we believe that you have a right to know what information we collect from you and just as importantly how we protect your privacy. So we’ve created this Privacy Policy to let you know what to expect when you engage with us, to explain the sorts of information we collect, how we might use and share that information and how you can opt-out of a use should you choose to.

 

If you have any questions about our privacy policies, please reach out to us at privacy@cocktailcollective.com

 

2. SCOPE

This Privacy Policy addresses practices regarding information collected from users in the course of doing business from the web properties of Cocktail Collective, including but not limited to all main and subdomains of cocktailcollective.co.nz and cocktailcollective.com  (collectively, the “Services”).

 

 It does not address or govern any information-gathering, use, or dissemination practices related to information collected from you other than directly through the Services. Nor does this Policy pertain to third party websites (“Third Party Services”). 

 

We endeavour to work only with Third Party Services that share our respect for your privacy, however we cannot take responsibility for the practices, content, or privacy policies of Third Party Services.  This includes when the Services of Cocktail Collective link to other websites or social media platforms, even if you access them through our Services, or when other websites reference or link to our Services.  These other domains and websites, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, You Tube and Google+ are not controlled by us and we strongly encourage you to carefully review the privacy policies of the Third Party Services you access so that you know how they will collect, use, and share your information.

 

Cocktail Collective actively works to be a responsible seller and supplier of alcohol and to comply fully with the laws that apply in the jurisdictions we operate in and the licensing terms we operate under.  To this end, our Services are in no way intended for use by individuals under the age of 18 (“Minors’). Consequently, we do not knowingly collect personal information online from visitors in this age group which is why we ask for age verification before you interact with our Services and age confirmation before you proceed to purchase.

 

We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect information we hold that may personally identify you, however, we cannot guarantee its absolute security as no transmission over the Internet or means of electronic storage is 100 percent secure.

 

By providing your personal information to Cocktail Collective, you signify your acceptance of the Terms of Use and agree that Cocktail Collective may collect, use and disclose your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.This Privacy Policy is incorporated into Cocktail Collective’s Terms of Use for the Services by reference, as if set forth fully therein, and must be reviewed and accepted by you prior to all purchasing transactions.

 

3. INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT

We endeavour to only collect information which is relevant for the purposes of  Cocktail Collective’s core business. To be clear about what information we may collect:  

• Personal Information - this means any information that may identify an individual including name, address, telephone number, email address and other information incidental to providing goods or services. We collect  personal information only when you voluntarily provide this to us, such as when you use our Services to order, establish an account, contact us, review our goods and Services, or sign up to receive emails about our latest products and services.

• Web logs and usage information - this may include device and browser information, internet protocol (IP) address, URLs of referring/exit pages, and search terms. 

• Information from cookies and other technologies - like most websites, our Services may incorporate the use of digital technologies such as “pixel tags”, “web beacons”, and “cookies”.  These are small files that web servers may place on your computer when you visit a website and collectively they allow Cocktail Collective and our service providers to collect information about your interactions with our Services, they allow you to make use of functions such as shopping-carts, and help identify irregular site behaviour, prevent fraudulent activity and they can assist in improving security with regards to our Services.  This means our service providers may collect information about your online activities over time and across different online services. 

• Information from Third Party Services - this is where we may receive information about you from other sources that may supplement information previously provided by you. This supplemental information allows us to verify the information you have provided to Cocktail Collective and improves our ability to provide you with information about our business, products and Services.  Instagram is an example of a Third Party Service where we may collect information if, for instance, you share your experience with Cocktail Collective on that platform.

4. HOW COCKTAIL COLLECTIVE USES YOUR INFORMATION

In the age of the Internet is not unusual for individuals to access websites outside the country they reside or are located in or for any or all information provided via a website to be stored anywhere in the world, including outside the country such users reside or are located in.

By using or accessing Cocktail Collective’s Services, users who reside outside New Zealand agree and consent to the transfer and processing of Personal Information  on servers located outside the country where they reside and acknowledge that the protection of such information may be different than that required under the laws of their residence or location.
