PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: May 29, 2025

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you of how Peace Lily New Zealand ("we", "us", "our", or "the Site") manages, collects, uses, processes and discloses your Personal Information when you visit, use our services, or make a purchase from peacelily.co.nz or otherwise communicate with us.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using and accessing any of our services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use or access any of our services.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the revised Privacy Policy on our website, update the "Last updated" date and take any other steps required by applicable law.

What Personal Information Do We Collect

The types of personal information we obtain about you depend on how you interact with our website and use our services. When we use the term "personal information", we are referring to information that identifies, relates to, describes or can be associated with you.

Information We Collect Directly from You

Information that you directly provide to us may include:

  • Contact details, including your name, address, phone number, and email address
  • Order information, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment confirmation, email address, and phone number
  • Customer support information, including the information you choose to include in communications with us

What happens if you don't provide information: You may decline to provide certain personal information (such as an email address), but this may mean we cannot provide you with all features – for instance, we might not be able to send order confirmations or delivery updates. Certain information is necessary for us to fulfil your order (for example, we need a shipping address to deliver products). If you do not provide this information, we will be unable to complete your purchase.

Information We Collect Automatically

We may automatically collect certain information about your interaction with our services ("Usage Data"). This may include information about how you access and use our website, including device information, browser information, information about your network connection, your IP address and other information regarding your interaction with our services.

Information We Collect from Third Parties

If we collect your personal information from someone else or from a publicly available source (rather than directly from you), we will take reasonable steps to notify you of this as soon as possible. This notification will include the fact that we collected your data, the source we got it from, if appropriate, why we collected it, and your rights regarding the information. For example, if a friend refers you to us and provides your email, we will inform you that we obtained your email from your friend for the purpose of sending you an invite.

How We Use Your Personal Information

We use your personal information for the following purposes:

  • Providing Products and Services: Processing payments, fulfilling orders, sending notifications related to your account and purchases, managing your account, arranging shipping, and facilitating returns and exchanges
  • Marketing and Advertising: Sending marketing communications by email, text message or postal mail, and showing you advertisements for products or services
  • Security and Fraud Prevention: Detecting, investigating or taking action regarding possible fraudulent, illegal or malicious activity
  • Customer Support and Service Improvement: Providing customer support and improving our services

Platform Services and Third-Party Tools

These services help us host, run and provide key components of our website and services. We work with various third-party providers who may collect and handle your personal data:

We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our site (such as pages viewed, time spent, clicks).

We also use Google Ads for advertising purposes, which may track your interactions with our ads across different websites. Privacy Policy: Google Privacy Policy.

Meta (Meta Platforms Inc.)

We use the Facebook Pixel (Meta Pixel) for advertising purposes. This tool collects data about your actions on our site (such as viewing a product or making a purchase) and connects it to your Facebook/Instagram profile, allowing us to show you relevant ads on those platforms. This involves sharing some of your personal data (such as an identifier like a cookie or email hash) with Facebook.

Online Behavioural Advertising

We use third-party advertising services, including Google Ad, Tag Management, and Meta Ads, which may be used to serve advertising on our behalf and to help track the effectiveness of our marketing. To enable this, our website may use tracking technologies including cookies, tracking pixels and related technologies which help collect data such as your IP address and your website interactions. These may be placed by third parties on your device for targeted remarketing and advertising purposes across other sites and to measure your response to our advertisements.

Online Behavioural Advertising Opt Out: Opting out does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising. It does mean that the companies from which you opted out will no longer customise ads based on your interests and web usage patterns using cookie-based technology.

Cookies

Like many websites, we use cookies on our website. We use cookies to power and improve our website and services (including to remember your actions and preferences), to run analytics and better understand user interaction with our services. We may also permit third parties and service providers to use cookies on our website to better tailor the services, products and advertising.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can choose to set your browser to remove or reject cookies through your browser controls. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and may cause some services, including certain features and general functionality, to work incorrectly or no longer be available.
