We think it’s great that you're considering buying some of our clothes
or want to know about our promotions. You may give us information about
yourself when, for example, you make a purchase from us or become a
Barkers VIP member. We'll do everything we can to look after your
privacy. However, if you do not give this information to us, we may not
be able to do what you've asked us to do.
We believe the new spam
act is really important and we do everything by the book. Not because
the law says so, but because it’s the way we believe decent sensible
companies should be working.
There are a few things that you need to know:
First,
what we use the information for. We use it to process your
transactions, to administer your account, to conduct credit and other
checks, for our own internal purposes (like staff training), and to help
us to make our website better. We may also use it to promote and market
our clothes (and other product lines).
Secondly, sometimes we
need to give your details to other people to perform services on our
behalf or, so that we can do what you have asked us to do. For example,
we need to pass your details to your credit card company when you pay
for your clothes. However we would never authorise those people to use
your information for any other purposes.
Thirdly, we do use
cookies on the site. That means we can do things like personalise the
site for you and remember what you've put into your shopping bag so that
when you come back from lunch, that new shirt for your date on Friday
night is still sitting there waiting for you. We don’t want you to waste
any time! We don't do anything sneaky or nasty with cookies, just
things to make things better - honest.
Finally, if you ask us
whether we hold personal information about you, we will tell you. You
can also ask us for a copy of the information or to make corrections or
changes to it. Just call us on 09 304 2776 or email us at info
@barkersonline.co.nz.
Anyway
that's about it. We do change our privacy policy from time to time, so
keep a look out for changes on our website. If you have any questions
let us know!
