Your details
What I do with them
Short version: this website counts visits, and does not collect your name, number or address. If you ring or text me, I use your number and address to quote a delivery and get the wood to you, and for nothing else. I do not sell it or share it.
This website
There is no form and no account on this site. The company that hosts it keeps the standard records every website host does, such as which pages were asked for, and it keeps them overseas.
I use Google Analytics to see how the site is used: which pages are read, roughly where visitors are (to the city), what kind of device they use, and whether the Ring and Text buttons and the price estimate get used. It sets cookies so it can tell a return visit from a new one. It never receives your name, your number or the address you type in, and Google’s advertising features are switched off. Google keeps this information overseas. The detailed records are deleted after 14 months; the totals built from them, such as visits per month, are kept for as long as I have the account. You can stop it with any tracker blocker or Google’s opt-out add-on, and the site works exactly the same.
The delivery address you type into the price estimate is checked against my delivery areas on your own phone or computer. It is not sent anywhere or kept. The “Text” button opens a message on your own phone with the wood, the amount, the estimate and that address already filled in. Nothing is sent until you press send, and it comes straight to my phone.
When you ring or text me
- Your name and number
- So I can ring or text you back about the load. That is how I confirm an order, because I am usually out on the truck.
- Your address
- I cannot quote delivery without knowing where I am driving. It is a delivery address, not a billing or identity one.
- Anything else you tell me
- Gate codes, dogs, a steep drive. Only what you choose to tell me.
No payment details are taken over the phone or by text. Nothing to pay until the wood is on your ground.
How long I keep it
Your address comes off my records a year after your last delivery, because after that it is not doing anything except sitting there. The rest of the record comes off three years after your last delivery, or sooner if you ask.
Seeing it, fixing it, getting rid of it
Ring or text me on 021 BUY WOOD and I will tell you what I have got, correct anything that is wrong, or delete the lot. You do not need a reason. I will come back to you inside 20 working days, and realistically the same week.
If you are not happy with how I have handled it, you can take it to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
