Privacy Policy

Last updated June 2019

Policy Overview

Who are we?

Kia ora haere mai, hello and welcome to Skyline, where adventure and thrills are the name of the game. We appreciate legal policies, terms and conditions are not the most exhilarating topics to read about, but we will try our best to stop you from getting too bored.

Skyline Rotorua and Skyline Queenstown are leading tourism destinations in New Zealand. We love to create unique experiences that capture the creative and adventurous nature of New Zealand and the people who call this paradise home.

What does this policy cover?

Skyline Enterprises Limited (“us”, “we” or “our”) takes its obligations in relation to privacy very seriously. The only thing more important to us than facilitating fun is facilitating the safe and secure transmission of your personal information while you interact with us. In this Privacy Policy (Policy), “you” and “your” means the individual providing personal information to us. This Policy incorporates and clarifies our fundamental privacy principles and the rights you have concerning the security of your personally identifiable information. These are our principles:

We are careful and considerate about the personal information we ask you to provide, and the personal information that we collect through the operation of our services.
We only store personal information for as long as we need it, and it is then securely deleted.
Your data is not sold or shared outside of our organisation (except for sharing that falls under the conditions outlined below ).
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information we hold on you, and if requested we will remove all traces of your personally identifiable information safely and securely (except where we need to keep it).
We aim for full transparency on how we gather, use, and share your personal information.
We follow industry best practices in securing our websites and protecting all stored information.

This Policy applies when you use any of our websites (https://www.skyline.co.nz https://queenstown-gifts.skyline.co.nz https://www.jellybellyshop.co.nz) or when you book with us in person, via telephone or email, or through a third-party booking agent. This Policy exists so we can be completely transparent about the data we collect and how we use it.

Throughout this Policy, we’ll refer to our websites, products and services collectively as “Services”.

By continuing to interact with us, you agree that you have read, understood, and accept the terms and conditions laid out in this Policy.

Information We Collect

Information You Give Us

It’s probably no surprise that we collect information that you provide to us. The type of information we collect and hold includes basic contact information, such as your name, email, phone number, physical address and payment information.

We collect this information when you book with us, respond to surveys, communicate with our staff, or complete a form or post a question on our website. We may also ask optional marketing questions in some forms, such as where you are from and how you heard about us.

If you do not provide the personal information we ask you to provide, or the information is incorrect, we may not be able to confirm your booking, provide the requested services, respond to an enquiry, or contact you.

Information We Collect Automatically

We like to think we are pretty switched on technologically; there is some information that we collect automatically through our websites and booking systems. This information may include your IP address, approximate location, browser type, device identifiers, language preferences, referral sites, operating systems, mobile network information and a date/ time stamp. We may also collect and hold information about how you interact with our marketing communications and our websites (such as the pages you navigate to and the buttons you click). We may use third-party service providers to collect this information on our behalf. To collect such information, we use cookies and other technologies like pixel tags to help identify and track visitors, usage, and access preferences for our Services. Cookies are also used to better understand and report on the effectiveness of email and web campaigns. Please read our Cookie Policy for more information and to find out how you can control the use of cookies.

Information from Other Sources

Your Personal Information may be collected from other third parties you authorise us to contact, or by agents who are authorised by you to provide such information, or as otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act.

We may collect your personal information through third-party service providers, who assist us to provide you with our services. For more information on these providers, please see the ‘Information/Data Sharing’ section below.

We may also collect the information you have provided to public sources like Facebook or Instagram to help us understand who you are and what you are interested in so that we can offer personalised messaging and advertising.

Information / Data Sharing

How We Share Information

IMPORTANT: We do not sell our users’ private personal information.

We do not share your information outside of our organisation unless it falls under any of the following circumstances. Where information is shared, it may be shared to third parties that are based in countries that do not have privacy laws as comprehensive as in your country of residence, and for residents of the European Union, may not have an adequacy decision by the European Commission. We assure you that where information is shared, it is done so following best practices with appropriate security and safeguards in place, including standard data protection clauses. If you would like further information regarding our agreements with relevant third parties, please contact us.

Employees, Subsidiaries, and Contractors: We may disclose information about you to our subsidiaries, our employees, and individuals who are our independent contractors that need to know your information to help us provide our services or to process the information on our behalf. We require our subsidiaries, employees, and independent contractors to follow this Policy to protect your information when it is shared with them.
Third-Party Disclosures:

We may share your information with third parties to perform services on our behalf, to process the information for us, or hold it on our behalf. These third parties include payment providers, technology providers, providers of business and marketing services and providers of software tools used by us in our business.

While these third parties are primarily collecting this information on our behalf, some of these third parties also use the information that we provide them to support and improve the services they provide and to undertake data analytics projects. However, we do not permit them to use your personal information to market their or any other person’s services to you.

We also require vendors to agree to this Policy before we will share information with them.

If we have good reason to believe that there is an imminent threat of death or injury or a serious threat to health and safety, we will pass this information on to the relevant authorities.

With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties if you authorise us to do so.

We may use or publish aggregate statistics about the use of our Services. Where required to facilitate customized ad campaigns, we may share a hashed version of your email address to other platforms.

Information Shared Publicly

Information that you choose to make public is disclosed publicly. Information posted publicly on social media websites, on our websites, and third-party websites such as tripadvisor.com are all available for others to see.

We may make use of any information that you make public when you use any such third-party services for the purposes of our business.

All third-party services are governed by the privacy policies and/or practices of the relevant third party, for which we are not responsible. Search engines may index your information posted on these sites making it accessible to third parties. Make sure you keep that in mind when deciding what to follow and share online.

How Long We Keep Information

We generally discard personal information when we no longer have a use for it or when we are legally required to delete it. All personal information is deleted in accordance with good practice.

We keep web server logs that record information about a visitor to our websites including IP address, browser type, operating system, devices etc, for approximately 3 years. We retain the logs for this period to analyse traffic, monitor efficiency and investigate issues or bugs.

When you use our website, Google Analytics tracks usage, trends and other information. This is automatically deleted 26 months after it is collected.

Data Security

Privacy and data security is very important to us. While no online service is 100% secure, we take pride in our ability to protect our customer’s information. We follow best practices and consistently update our processes to protect information to the best of our ability. Our IT team works hard to monitor and prevent unauthorised access, use, alteration, or destruction, of information.
