- Contact information: any details you include when you email us or use a contact form, including your message content.

How We Use Your Information
We use your personal information to operate our business and provide the products and service you expect from us.

Payment Processing by Stripe
Card payments on roakewaka.com are processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. When you pay, your card details are submitted directly to Stripe over an encrypted connection. We never see or store your full card number, expiry date or security code.
Stripe processes your payment data as an independent service provider in accordance with its own privacy practices and applicable payment security standards.
Third-Party Processors and Sharing
We share personal information only as needed to run our business, and we do not sell your personal information. We may share information with the categories of third parties below.
- Stripe, for secure payment processing.
- Shipping and logistics carriers, to deliver your order and provide tracking.
- Analytics and website infrastructure providers, to help us run and improve the site.
- Professional advisers and authorities, where required to comply with the law or protect our legal rights.
Data Retention
We keep your personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, including to fulfil orders, provide support, and meet legal, accounting and tax obligations. Order and transaction records are generally retained for the period required by New Zealand law. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
International Transfers
Because we ship globally and use service providers such as Stripe, carriers and analytics platforms, your information may be processed in countries outside New Zealand. Where information is transferred overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled with protections comparable to those under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.
Your Rights
Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 you have rights in relation to your personal information, and we will help you exercise them.
- Access: you can request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: you can ask us to correct information that is inaccurate or out of date.
- Deletion: you can ask us to delete your information where we are not required to keep it.
- Complaints: you can raise a concern with us, and you may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in New Zealand.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information against loss, misuse and unauthorised access, including encrypted connections for payment and sensitive data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to keep your information safe.
