Privacy policy

We are LS designs (Liana Stevens) (called we, us or our below). Here is our Privacy Policy which tells you how we collect, use, share and protect your personal information. It applies to you (called you or your below) when you use our website or purchase our products or services. This means you agree to our use of your personal information and to receive communications from us as set out below. 

 

WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Personal information is information that can be used to identify a person. This may include your name, contact details, user name and password, IP address, credit or debit card details, customer survey feedback and details of products or services we provide you.

​

YOUR OBLIGATIONS WHEN GIVING US PERSONAL INFORMATION

• Please only give us up to date and correct information.

• Please don’t give us personal information about someone else unless you have their permission and they know about this Privacy Policy.

​​

WHERE WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION FROM

• Mostly, and where possible, we collect your information directly from you, such as when you set up an account, contact us via email, phone, the website or social media, post content or place an order.

• Sometimes, we collect information from other sites (like social media), from companies or people that work with us, from publicly available information or from other people you have told us we can collect it from.

• We may also collect information while you use our website using technology like cookies. This information may include your IP address, location, time of access, activities and preferences on our website and device details. This allows us to improve your experience on our website by providing personalised content, ads and social media features. We may also collect and analyse anonymized data (meaning data that does not identify you personally) about your use of our website. You can manage your preferences to withdraw your consent to our use of cookies but our website may not work the same if you do. To find out more about our use of cookies, contact us at liana@lsdesigns.co.nz.

DISCLOSING INFO OUTSIDE NZ

We only disclose your information outside New Zealand where the person we disclose it to: (i) is doing business in New Zealand (and must comply with the Privacy Act 2020); (ii) will, we believe, adequately protect the information; (iii) must comply with similar privacy laws to the Privacy Act 2020; or (iv) where you have told us we can.

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON’T PROVIDE YOUR INFORMATION

Providing your information is voluntary but if you don’t provide it, you may be limited in your use of our website and you won’t be able to purchase any products or services from our website.

HOW WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE AND SECURE 

We have security protections and procedures to help keep your personal information safe and protect it against loss, unauthorised access, modification, disclosure or any other misuse.

HOW YOU CAN ACCESS AND CORRECT YOUR INFORMATION

You can ask us to show you what personal information we hold about you, and to correct any mistakes, by emailing  liana@lsdesigns.co.nz. If there is a legal reason we can’t let you see the information, or if we don’t agree with your correction, we will give you our reasons and note your requested correction to the information.

HOW TO MAKE A PRIVACY COMPLAINT

If you think we have not followed our privacy obligations, you can make a complaint by contacting us at liana@lsdesigns.co.nz. You can also make a complaint to the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner.
