Hygiene House ltd knows that you care how information about you is used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. This notice describes our Privacy Policy. By visiting Hygiene House Ltd, you are accepting the practices described in this Privacy Notice.

What Personal Information About Customers Does Hygiene House Ltd gather?

The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping experience at Hygiene House Ltd. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information You Give Us:

We receive and store any information you enter on our web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customising future shopping for you, improving our store, and communicating with you.

Automatic Information:

We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses www.hygienehouse.co.nz. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see examples of the information we receive. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalised experience at www.hygienehouse.co.nz if we cannot recognise you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems to recognise your browser and to provide features such as Automatic Login and permanent Shopping Carts for storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits. If you would like to know more, the "Help" section of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies do allow you to take full advantage of some of Hygiene House Ltd's best features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.

E-mail Communications:

To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Hygiene House Ltd if your computer supports such capabilities. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your account to reflect this by selecting "Unsubscribe" in the Newsletter menu.

Does Hygiene House Ltd Share the Information It Receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others.

Security:

Your payment is processed through Paymark Click Payment Gateway.  Paymark Click secures all your customer and credit-card data with military-grade software and servers, and the highest level of encryption available. Hygiene House Ltd will not store or transfer any of your credit card information. All data is transferred using Paymark Click secure servers.  

 

With Your Consent:

Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
