Plumbline is committed to honouring the privacy of visitors to our website. This policy sets out how we handle email addresses, clickstream data and cookies. You have the right to access, edit and request deletion of any personal information concerning you, pursuant to the New Zealand Privacy Act 1993.
Email Addresses
We will only record your email address if you subscribe to any of our services. It will only be used for the purpose for which you have provided it. We will not use your email address or any of your personal details for any other purpose without your consent and we will not disclose your email address without your consent. Electronic mail submitted to Plumbline is handled and saved according to the provisions of the New Zealand Privacy Act 1993.
Clickstream Data
Clickstreams are the paths a user takes when navigating a web page or the internet in general. When you visit our website, our Internet Service Provider makes a record of your visit and logs the following information for statistical purposes - the user's assigned IP address, the user's top level domain name (for example .co.nz, .gov, .com.au, .uk etc), the data and time and duration of visit to the site, and the type of browser and operating system used.
Cookies
A cookie is a short piece of data that is sent from a web server to a web browser on the user's machine when the browser visits the server's site. The cookie is stored on the user's machine, but it is not an executable program and cannot do anything to your machine. Whenever a web browser requests a file from the same web server that sent the cookie, the browser sends a copy of that cookie back to the server along with the request. In this way, the server knows you have visited before and can co-ordinate your access to different pages on its website. A server cannot find out a name or email address, or anything about a user's computer, by using cookies.
Mobile Applications
This section applies to the Plumbline Prism mobile application ("App"), available through the Apple App Store and Google Play. All other sections of this privacy policy continue to apply unless stated otherwise.
1. Information Collected via the App
The App does not collect personal information or any other data about you or your device. In particular, the App does not use:
- Analytics or usage tracking
- Crash or error reporting services
- Push notifications
- Advertising or advertising identifiers
The App does not track you across other apps or websites. If you contact us, for example by email or phone, we handle the information you give us as described in the rest of this privacy policy.
2. Content Loaded by the App
When the App loads product information or images over the internet, your device sends the technical details every internet request carries, such as its IP address. These are used only to deliver the content and keep the service secure. They are not used to identify you and are not linked to you.
3. App Permissions
If the App asks for access to a device function, that access is used only for the feature you are using. You can grant and revoke permissions at any time in your device settings.
4. Third-Party Services
The App does not include any third-party analytics, crash reporting, advertising or push notification services. We do not sell or share personal data with third parties.
5. Changes to the App
If a future version of the App starts to collect any information, we will update this section, and the privacy disclosures on the App Store and Google Play, before that version is released.
6. App Store Disclosures
This privacy policy is linked from the App Store and Google Play listings. In line with those listings, the App collects no data.
