Automatically Collected Information
Like most websites, our Site (hosted on Squarespace) may automatically collect certain technical information through cookies and similar technologies, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited. See Section 6 (Cookies) below for more detail.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:
• Contact form submissions: to respond to your enquiry, question, or request.
• Newsletter subscriptions: to send you updates, news, and marketing communications about Feira, our products, and opening information, which you have opted in to receive.
• Site functionality and security: to maintain, operate, and improve our Site.
We will not use your personal information for any purpose other than the one it was collected for, unless we have your consent or are required/permitted to do so by law.
4. Legal Basis for Collection
We only collect personal information that is necessary for a lawful purpose connected with our business functions, in line with the Information Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 2020. Providing your information via our contact form or newsletter sign-up is voluntary — however, if you choose not to provide it, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or send you newsletter updates.
5. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our Site and communications, including:
• Squarespace (our website hosting and contact form provider)
• Flodesk (our newsletter distribution provider)
These providers only process your information on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions and their own privacy and security obligations. Some of these providers may store or process data outside New Zealand (e.g. in the United States) — where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information remains protected in a manner consistent with the Privacy Act 2020.
We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Feira, our customers, or others.
6. Cookies
Our Site, hosted on Squarespace, may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to improve your browsing experience, analyze site traffic, and understand where our visitors come from. You can choose to accept or decline cookies through your browser settings. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline them if you prefer.
7. Data Storage and Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Your information is stored securely within Squarespace's hosting infrastructure and our newsletter provider's systems, both of which maintain their own security safeguards. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
