Collection of Personal Information

Your personal information will only be added to our customer database if you provide your email address for the purpose of receiving emails from us. If you choose to use our websites and submit information to us about you for that purpose, or if you enter a MNTN promotion, event or competition, or purchase a MNTN Gift Voucher, you agree to accept and will be bound by this Privacy Policy.

We may collect personal information about you from a third party or publicly available source, but only if you have consented to such collection or would reasonably expect us to collect your personal information this way.

How will MNTN contact you?

MNTN may use a number of ways of contacting you, including SMS, mail, digital messaging, telephone or email. We want to communicate with you only if you want to hear from us. Should you not wish to receive any of these types of communication from MNTN, you can update your preferences, including to unsubscribe from communications, at any time.

Disclosure and storage of personal information

Any personal information you provide is collected and managed by MNTN. We understand the trust you place in us, and the importance of your personal information and we have appropriate procedures in place to safeguard and secure the information we collect to prevent unauthorised use or disclosure, maintain data accuracy and ensure appropriate use of information.

Personal details will only be used by MNTN and will not be sold to any third party at any stage.

If we provide personal information to our contracted service providers or suppliers we require those suppliers to preserve the confidential nature of such information and agree to use that information only to fulfil that purpose on our behalf and for the purpose for which it was provided, and not to retain the details once that purpose has been fulfilled.

How to update your information & unsubscribe

MNTN endeavours to ensure that the personal information it holds is accurate, complete and up-to-date. MNTN encourages you to contact us to update any personal information held by MNTN about you. You can seek access to your personal information at any time, and we will provide you with that information unless we are prevented by law from giving it to you. You can seek to correct your details held by MNTN by contacting MNTN's Privacy Officer. We are committed to dealing with all queries in a prompt, professional and open manner.

If you subscribe to a mailing list that we maintain, you can ask us to remove you from that list at any time by using the unsubscribe facility, or sending us an e-mail with your details to info@mntn.co.nz. We will comply with that request as soon as we reasonably can. However you understand that sometimes we may have begun distributing a mail-out before we can process that request, and in those circumstances you might still receive that mail-out.

Cookies and web monitoring

MNTN uses cookies on our websites and may from time to time also use third parties to analyse traffic on our websites. Those cookies may be used by other third party websites when marketing to you. Cookies are pieces of information shared between your web browser and a website. Use of cookies enables a faster and easier experience for the user. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply. A cookie cannot read data from your hard drive. Most browsers allow you to disable or reject the use of cookies. If you disable or reject the use of cookies some functionality on our websites may not be available or it may take longer to use that functionality.

MNTN may also use software to broadly locate you in the correct part of the world or within a geographic range of a transmitting device so we may deliver information on MNTN products and services relevant to your country, geographic location or part of the world.

Social media and other third party websites

MNTN uses a number of social media services and/or platforms including Instagram, Pinterest and Facebook. These services may be linked to our websites through the use of social media buttons. Your use of these third party services in relation to MNTN is entirely optional.

By opting to "follow", "friend", "like" or associate yourself with MNTN on any of our social media platforms, you agree to accept and be bound by this Privacy Policy. MNTN may make use of any information that you make public when you use any such third party services or social media platforms for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Such information available for use by MNTN includes (but is not limited to):

  1. images relating to MNTN or MNTN products;
  2. text with reference to MNTN or MNTN products;
  3. anything related to MNTN by use of a hashtag;
  4. anything related to promotions, events that you put on social media;
  5. anything related to MNTN by way of a comment or tag on one of our social media platforms;

If you have accessed other third party websites through our websites and if the operators of those third party websites collect information about you, we may also collect, have or purchase access to that information as part of our arrangements with those third parties.

Where you access a third party website from our websites, cookie information, information about your preferences or other information you have provided may be shared between us and the third party based on an arrangement that MNTN has with those third parties. You usually cannot be identified from the information that is shared. If you can be identified from this information, we will seek your consent before sharing the information.

MNTN may also use payment services provided by third parties necessary to provide you with our products and services.

Third party websites should contain their own privacy statements. MNTN is not responsible for the services provided by the operators of those third party websites. If you do not want to provide personal information to any of those third parties, or make information publicly available, you should not use their particular service.
