Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal information SmartFraming Ltd collects, how we use and protect it, and the rights you have under the Privacy Act 2020.

Last updated: 21 July 2026
01

Overview

SmartFraming Ltd (“we”, “our”, “us”) respects your privacy and handles personal information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles.

This policy applies to information we collect through this website, our enquiry and quote forms, our newsletter, and the course of doing business with you.

02

Information we collect

We collect personal information you provide directly and some technical information automatically:

  • Contact & enquiry details — your name, email address, phone number, delivery location and the content of your message when you use our contact or quote forms.
  • Project information — sketches, plans, specifications and any files you attach to a quote request.
  • Newsletter subscriptions — the email address you provide to receive updates.
  • Technical & usage data — information such as your IP address, browser type, device and pages visited, collected automatically via server logs, cookies and analytics tools.

You do not have to provide personal information, but we may be unable to respond to an enquiry or process an order without it.

03

How we use your information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to your enquiries and prepare quotes;
  • process, manufacture and deliver your order;
  • provide customer support and manage our relationship with you;
  • send newsletters and updates where you have subscribed (you can unsubscribe at any time);
  • operate, secure and improve our website; and
  • meet our legal and accounting obligations.
04

Cookies & analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Essential cookies are needed for the site to function. We may also use analytics tools — such as Google Analytics — to understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. These tools may set cookies and collect information such as your IP address, pages viewed and general location.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how the website works.

Where we use third-party analytics or advertising services, they process data under their own privacy policies. We only use analytics to measure and improve the site — not to sell your personal information.

05

Sharing & third-party providers

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run our business, including:

  • Email & form delivery — enquiries, quote requests and newsletter subscriptions are processed through Resend.
  • Website hosting — our site is hosted on Vercel.
  • Analytics providers — where enabled, to measure website usage.
  • Freight, trades and other suppliers — where needed to fulfil your order.

We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.

06

Overseas storage

Some of our service providers (such as our hosting, email and analytics providers) store data on servers located outside New Zealand. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is protected by comparable privacy safeguards.

07

Storage & security

We take reasonable steps to keep personal information secure and to protect it from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure or alteration. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

08

How long we keep it

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes above or as required by law (for example, tax and accounting records). When it is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or de-identify it.

09

Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020 you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to ask us to correct it if it is wrong. To make a request, or to unsubscribe from our newsletter, contact us at contact@smartframing.nz. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

11

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version is always the one published on this page, with the “last updated” date shown above.
