in addition to customary business communications (payment confirmations, etc.).
Further, it is our policy to immediately remove any member from any mailing

encourage you to email
us with your questions or comments.

Conditions. We do not permanently store, sell, or rent these email messages
or the email addresses.

our company and promotional material from some of our affiliated partners. Your

Updating Your Personal Information
Ama Kiwi provides you with ways in which you can alter your personal data,
including changing your email address, password, address, etc. Ama Kiwi will
store previous email addresses against your profile to ensure compliance with
our Terms and

Delivery Address Details
Ama Kiwi enables you to save one or more of your delivery addresses which we
will store against your profile. When you buy an item (Eg Apparel) you have the
option of selecting a delivery address which we will then send to the seller.
We will never give the seller your address without your permission.

We do not recommend that you disclose your Ama Kiwi password to any third
parties. If you choose to share your user name, email address and password or
your information with third parties to provide you additional services, you are
responsible for any altered information and changes to your profile.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password
and to your computer. Ensure you logout when you have finished visiting Ama
Kiwi, especially if you access Ama Kiwi from a shared computer.
Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored in a browser-related
file on your computer's hard drive when you use our Web site. We use cookies to
improve the member experience. We also use them to deliver information and
fresh content specific to your interests. Cookies are widely used on most major
Web sites.
Ama Kiwi mostly uses "session" cookies, which are removed from your
computer once you leave Ama Kiwi. These are used so our service can remember
that you have logged in already and prevent you doing so more frequently. The
technology we use (Microsoft Active Server Pages), requires the use of session
cookies. Session cookies expire and are deleted after 30 minutes of no activity
on Ama Kiwi.
Ama Kiwi also uses persistent cookies to personalise the user experience, to
help protect our members and to provide us with research information (such as how
often members visit Ama Kiwi each month). Persistent cookies allow us to track
users on Ama Kiwi and helps us identify users abusing the Ama Kiwi service.
Other information we collect
We use additional information to do internal research on our users'
demographics, interests, and behavior to better understand and serve you and
our community. This information may include the URL that you just came from
(whether this URL is on our site or not), which URL you next go to (whether
this URL is on our site or not), what browser you are using, and your IP
address.
Users who login have their IP addresses recorded. This information can be used
to track users who abuse the Ama Kiwi system and will be only be provided to
legal authorities in cases of suspected fraud. IP addresses can be used, in
conjunction with an Internet Service Provider, to find the dial-in account of a
user and, ultimately, further information to identify a user. This information
is stored securely and will not be provided to other members or non-authorised
parties.
If you choose to post messages in our message areas or leave feedback for other
users, we will collect that information you provide to us.
If you send us personal correspondence, such as emails or letters, or if other
users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings
on the Site, we may collect such information into a file specific to you.
Membership Removal
If you wish to have your registration removed from our directory for any
reason, simply send us an email requesting to be removed.
Advertising and Third Party Links
Some Ama Kiwi advertisers may request information directly from users, or link
to sites that do so. Ama Kiwi has no control over its advertisers' privacy
policies, and encourages users to review such policies prior to submitting any
personal information to them.
Ama Kiwi contains non-advertising links to a variety of third party sites to
enhance the member experience. Ama Kiwi has no control of either the content or
privacy policies of such sites, nor should such links be considered an
endorsement of these sites except where otherwise noted.
Google
Analytics Internet statistics
Ama
Kiwi, like most large New Zealand websites, uses the Google Analytics counting
system to collect information such as the number of visitors per day or the
number of pages requested per day. To do this, Ama Kiwi has a small piece of
code on each page which counts these statistics.
