By visiting our websites, using our services or otherwise providing your personal data to Autoblast Ltd, you accept the terms of our privacy policy and authorise the collection, use and disclosure of your personal data.
This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and shared when you visit autoblast.co.nz (the “Site”).
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
When you visit the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information.” We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
– “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
– “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
– “Web beacons,” “tags,” and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse the Site.
Our websites may include Cookies from third-party service providers. In some cases, that is because we have hired the third party to provide services on our behalf, such as website analytics. For this purpose, Autoblast Ltd works with various third-parties like Instagram, Facebook and Google to see what actions you take on third party websites to deliver our personalised ads to you via third party websites. We use demographics and Interest reporting features in Google Analytics to anonymously track users on our websites, collect information like which pages were visited and how long was spent there. This information helps us to
improve our websites to give you a better experience.
Google’s ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to our websites is governed by Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

COMMUNICATION
We may use your Personal Information to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional material and other information that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving theses communications from us by following the unsubscribe link or any email we send.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We use the Device Information that we collect to help us screen for potential risk and fraud (in particular, your IP address), and more generally to improve and optimize our Site (for example, by generating analytics about how our customers browse and interact with the Site, and to assess the success of our marketing and advertising campaigns).
SERVICE PROVIDERS
Autoblast Ltd will only disclose your personal data to a third party if that disclosure is one of the purposes in connection with which your personal data was obtained.

They are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information that we provide to them and are prohibited from using it for any other purpose outside the performance of the services. Autoblast Ltd maintains contracts with these third parties requiring their treatment (access, use, disclosure and security) of personal data to be consistent with our obligations under the law.
Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive, or to otherwise protect our rights.
