Privacy Policy

The Herbal Garden is a small garden business based in West Melton, Christchurch, New Zealand. You can contact me at any time at admin@herbalgarden.co.nz.

When you use this website I may collect:

• Your name and email address, and your phone number if you choose to give it.
• Your delivery address, when you order from the garden shop.
• Details of your bookings and orders, such as dates, places and products.
• Your email address, if you sign up for garden news.
• Messages you send me through the contact form or by email.

Card payments are processed securely by Stripe. I never see or store your card numbers.

• Arranging and managing your bookings and orders.
• Sending you receipts, confirmations and booking details.
• Replying to your enquiries.
• Sending garden news — only if you have subscribed, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

I never sell your information. It is shared only with the service providers needed to run the website, take payments and send email. Some of these providers store data outside New Zealand.

I keep your information for as long as needed to manage your booking or order, and to meet my tax and accounting record-keeping obligations.

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you may ask for a copy of the personal information I hold about you, and ask me to correct it if it is wrong. You can also unsubscribe from garden news at any time. Just email admin@herbalgarden.co.nz.

If you have a concern about how your information has been handled, you can raise it with me first, or with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at www.privacy.org.nz.
