This policy explains what personal information Corina Couture Alterations collects, why, and what Corina does with it. It follows the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its information privacy principles. In this policy, “Corina” means Corina Tindall, who runs the business on her own.
Who is responsible
Corina Couture Alterations is a business run by Corina Tindall in Rolleston, Selwyn (Canterbury). Corina is responsible for your personal information. For any privacy question or request, email [email protected] or call 021 466 626.
What is collected
Corina only collects what she needs to look after your alteration and run the business:
- your name, email address and phone number
- your appointment details and notes about your garment, such as measurements and the work agreed
- payment records, such as the amount paid and the date
- anything you choose to tell Corina in a message, email or text
- information about how you use this website, collected by cookies and similar technologies (see below)
This information is used to answer your questions, book and carry out your alteration, take payment, keep business and tax records, and improve this website and its advertising. It comes from you directly, or from the services described below when you use them. You don’t have to give your details, but without them Corina may not be able to book or contact you.
Contact form
When you send a message through the contact form, Corina receives your name, email address, phone number (if you give it) and your message. The form also saves your browser and device type, the page you sent it from and, where available, your country. It doesn’t record your IP address. The message is stored in the website’s database and sent to Corina by email. It is used only to reply to you. The form uses spam protection, which may include Cloudflare Turnstile, a check run by Cloudflare that looks at technical information about your browser and device.
Bookings via Setmore
Online bookings are made through Setmore, a booking service. When you book, Setmore collects your name, contact details and appointment details on Corina’s behalf and sends you a confirmation. Setmore stores this information on its own servers, which may be outside New Zealand. See Setmore’s privacy policy.
Payments via Stripe
Card payments and invoices are processed by Stripe. Stripe collects your card details directly. Corina never sees or stores your full card number. She receives a record of the payment, such as your name, email, the amount and the date. Card payments may carry a surcharge equal to the card processing cost; cash has no surcharge. See Stripe’s privacy policy.
Email via Gmail
Corina uses Gmail, a Google service, for business email. Emails you send her, and messages from the contact form, are stored in Corina’s Gmail account. The website also sends its emails through Gmail.
Analytics and advertising
This website may use these services to understand how people find and use it, and to measure its advertising:
- Google Analytics 4 shows which pages are visited, how people arrive and roughly where they are. It is not used to identify you.
- Google Ads shows when someone who clicked one of the business’s ads goes on to book, call, text, email or send a message.
- Meta Pixel does the same for the business’s Facebook and Instagram ads, and may be used to show its ads to people who have visited this website.
These services use cookies and similar technologies, and collect information such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view and the links you click. Google and Meta process this information on their own servers, which are outside New Zealand, under their own privacy policies.
You can opt out in several ways: block or delete cookies in your browser settings, install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, change your Google ad settings, or change your Facebook ad preferences.
About cookies
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This website may use cookies to help protect the contact form from spam. The analytics and advertising services above also set cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The website will still work, although some features may not.
Hosting and backups
This website is hosted with Railway, a cloud hosting provider, on servers in Singapore. Railway stores the website only on Corina’s behalf. The hosting keeps basic technical and security logs, such as IP addresses.
Backups of the website, including its database (which holds contact form messages) and uploaded photos, are made with UpdraftPlus and stored in Corina’s own Google Drive account. Google Drive may store them on servers outside New Zealand.
Information sent overseas
Some of the services used (Setmore, Stripe, Google, Meta, Cloudflare and the website host) store information outside New Zealand. Corina uses established providers and relies on their privacy and security terms.
How long it’s kept
Messages sent through the contact form are deleted from the website automatically 12 months after they are sent; the copy in Corina’s email is kept only as long as it is needed. Other personal information is kept only as long as it is needed for the reason it was collected, or as long as the law requires (for example, business and tax records). Then it is deleted.
Keeping it safe
Corina takes reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access. If a privacy breach is likely to cause you serious harm, she’ll tell you and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, as the Privacy Act 2020 requires.
Your rights
You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information Corina holds about you (information privacy principle 6) and to ask her to correct it (information privacy principle 7). If she doesn’t agree to correct it, you can ask her to attach a statement of the correction you wanted. To make a request, email [email protected]. Corina will reply within 20 working days.
Making a complaint
If you have a concern about how your information has been handled, please talk to Corina first so she can put it right. If you’re not satisfied, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
