Verum Digital Limited, trading as DiscountTech (DT) are committed to providing our customers with a secure, private shopping experience.

What information does DT need to collect from you as a customer?

DT, in dealing with you as a customer, may need to collect and retain information that identifies you as a customer so that transactions can be carried out either online or personally. The information we may collect includes:

For establishing an account:

• Name and address(es)
• Contact telephone number(s) and email address(es)

For personal identification:

• Photo ID – either NZ Driver’s licence, passport (NZ or foreign), or an NZ 18+ card (Note foreign driver’s licenses cannot be verified and are therefore not accepted)

Why does DT collect and retain personal information?

We use this information to undertake any dealings or transactions with you.

Who can access this information and who is it shared with?

The information will be collected by specified DT employees who need to have access to your personal data to carry out the transactions. The level of accessibility to your personal data is proportional to the job function that each team member performs.

We may disclose aggregated shopper statistics, but none of these statistics will contain any information about identifiable customers and their individual shopping habits.

Can you refuse to provide the information asked for?

If you do not wish to provide the information asked for, you have the right to refuse to provide it, however DT may not be able to proceed with the transaction if the information required is necessary for DT to ensure the transaction is conducted in a legitimate manner while protecting the interests of both DT and you as the customer.

Storage of personal information

We are aware that you may be concerned about the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information. We have taken many steps – from both technical and systems perspectives – to ensure that all of your information is well protected, however we also recommend that you do not disclose your loginID and password to anyone.

Using Social Features

We may offer functionality that allows you to create or log into your account using a third party service, such as Facebook or Google. If you choose to make use of a third party service for creating or logging into your account, or otherwise use any social media features we make available, we may access information about you via that third party. Information we receive may include your public profile information, such as your profile picture, gender, birthday, email address, phone number, profile ID and your name (if you have made that information available on your public profile).

Generally, you can restrict what information is made available via third party services like Facebook and Google by updating your privacy settings with the provider. We encourage you to review your privacy settings and the relevant provider’s privacy policy.

What is DT’s policy on allowing me to view and update my personal information?
