Privacy Policy

WELCOME

Welcome to SUPERTYRE Group’s Privacy Policy, which we will simply refer to as “the Policy”. When you use the services of, or interact with, SUPERTYRE or one of SUPERTYRE’s subsidiaries or related entities (SUPERTYRE Group), we collect your information, including personal details. We appreciate that you trust us with this information and we want to always keep that trust. We will start by making sure you understand what information we collect about you, why we collect it, how it is used and processed, when we may need to share it with persons other than yourself, and the choices you may have regarding your personal information.

IMPORTANT

We want to make it as straightforward as possible for you to understand our privacy practices. So we are keeping it simple and transparent. We hope this will help you make informed decisions when you share your personal information with us.

But before we get to the detail:

  • This Policy, of course, applies when you are a SUPERTYRE Group customer and have a contract with us. But even if you are not an SUPERTYRE Group customer, this Policy applies to any personal information we collect when you use our services or interact with us. This could include instances where you use our services that your employer or contractor pays for, you contact us directly, you propose to supply services to us, you register online to receive information about our services or you apply for a job with us.
  • Personal information means information about an identifiable natural person. This could include your name, date of birth, email, address, telephone number, your movements and location, bank account details, payment information, support queries, and so on. If you can’t be identified (for example, when personal data has been de-identified or aggregated) then this Policy doesn’t apply.
  • If you are a SUPERTYRE Group customer, this Policy forms part of the SUPERTYRE Group’s terms applicable to the SUPERTYRE Group products and services you’ve signed up to receive from us.
  • You may choose not to supply us with your personal information, but this may impact on our ability to provide you with our products and services, or to have meaningful interactions with you.
  • We are committed to processing personal information consistent with the requirements of all applicable laws.
  • As things change, and technology changes, we may need to update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We’ll keep you updated by publishing these changes on our website: supertyre.co.nz. You may want to check back here from time to time to make sure you’re always up to date with our Privacy Policy. If we make material changes to the Policy, where possible we’ll notify you as required by applicable laws. We will also update the version and date below to indicate when those changes will become effective.

Please contact the SUPERTYRE Group Managing Director at dayne@supertyre.co.nz if you have any questions about this Policy.

We only collect your personal information that is necessary for the purposes of our functions and activities. There are two key categories of information we collect about you: your user information and your usage information.

3.1 Your User Information

To provide you with our services and conduct our business, we need to collect some information directly from you and sometimes from third parties. We may collect the following user information:

b) Information our Customer may give us

If you are employed by or are contracted to provide services to one of our Customers (e.g. if you are a Driver or an End User), we may collect personal information about you from that Customer. If you are our Customer, and you want to share or otherwise allow SUPERTYRE Group to collect, create and use personal information related to your employees, contractors and other individuals (e.g. Drivers or End Users), you must:

  • obtain permission from such individuals to allow SUPERTYRE Group to do this; and
  • take reasonable steps to ensure that these individuals understand what personal information we will collect, create and use and that they agree to this. For example, you can do this by providing these individuals with a copy of this Policy, putting notices on your vehicles that the vehicles are equipped with GPS tracking devices and ensuring your own privacy policies include a detailed explanation of what personal information is going to be collected and created by SUPERTYRE Group, who will have access to it and how SUPERTYRE Group and you intend to use this information.

Also, as a Customer you decide who will have access to the products and services you acquire from us, including personal information we collect. If you want to authorise someone else to access your SUPERTYRE Group services account (e.g. by becoming an End User), we’ll collect their name and contact information from you. Please make sure you have this person’s consent before you share their information with us. Subject to legal requirements, if you are an End User, Driver or an individual who interacts with a Customer, then you will be directed to contact the Customer in the first instance for assistance with any requests or questions relating to your personal information collected and stored by SUPERTYRE Group.

c) Information we may collect from other third parties

This is personal information we collect about you from other people, like credit reference agencies. We only do this if we reasonably believe you’ve authorised us to do so, or if you’ve authorised the third party to share your information with us. This information could include:

  • your credit history;
  • collated information we purchase from third parties that may relate to identifiable individuals. We will only collect this kind of data from trusted providers if we are satisfied they have permission to share this information with us and the collection, use and disclosure meets the requirements of the relevant privacy legislation and regulation; and information we may collect from third party partners where we have consent to do so for the provision of any SUPERTYRE Group partnership offerings.
