1. Who we are

Pool Covers is a trading name of [LEGAL COMPANY NAME], [REGISTERED ADDRESS].

We are the agency responsible for the personal information described in this policy.

2. What we collect

We collect personal information you give us when you use our online ordering tool, place an order, book an installation, request a measurement, contact us or subscribe to our emails. This may include:

  • Your name, email address and phone number.

  • Your delivery address, and your installation address where these differ.

  • Your pool details — dimensions, shape, step configuration, reel position and the products you selected.

  • Photos or notes you choose to upload about your pool.

  • Payment information, processed securely by our payment provider. We do not see or store full card details.

  • Information about how you use our website (see section 7).

Aerial imagery. If you ask us to measure your pool from your address rather than measuring it yourself, we view publicly available aerial and satellite imagery of that property to take the measurements. We use it only to size your cover, and we don't retain imagery beyond what's needed for your order and any warranty claim.

3. Why we collect it

We use your personal information to:

  • Manufacture your order and arrange delivery and installation.

  • Save and email you the configuration and price you worked out.

  • Provide customer support and handle warranty claims.

  • Meet our legal, accounting and tax obligations.

  • Improve our website and the products we offer.

  • Send you marketing communications where you have opted in. You can opt out at any time using the link in any email.

We only use your information for the purpose it was collected for, or for a directly related purpose you would reasonably expect.

We do not use your pool details or address for any purpose other than fulfilling and supporting your order.

4. Disclosure

We may share your personal information with:

  • The manufacturer who makes your cover, the installer who fits it, and the courier who delivers it — limited to what each of them needs to do their part of the job.

  • Our payment provider, website platform and IT service providers.

  • Our accountants and professional advisers.

  • Government agencies or others, where we are required to by law.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.

Some of our service providers — including our website platform and payment provider — store data outside New Zealand. Where that is the case we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is protected to a standard comparable to the Privacy Act 2020.

5. Storage and security

We store your information securely and take reasonable steps to protect it against loss, misuse and unauthorised access.

We keep order records, including your pool measurements, for as long as your warranty runs plus the period we are required to retain records for tax purposes. Keeping your measurements on file also means a replacement cover years later can be made without measuring the pool again.

Enquiries that don't become orders, and marketing subscriptions after you unsubscribe, are held for a shorter period and then deleted.

6. Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020 you have the right to:

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you.

  • Request correction of anything that is inaccurate.

To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the timeframe required by the Act, which is normally 20 working days.

7. Cookies

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, to remember the configuration you were building, and to understand how the site is used.

Essential cookies are required for the website, your cart and the ordering tool to function. The site will not work properly without them.

Analytics cookies tell us which pages people use and where they get stuck, so we can improve the site. The data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.

Marketing cookies are used only where you have consented, to measure the performance of our advertising.

You can control or block cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will stop the ordering tool from working.

8. Complaints

If you have a concern about how we handle your personal information, please contact us first. We would rather resolve it directly.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.

9. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always published on this page.
