Privacy policy

Last updated: 9 September 2026

Kiwi Treats operates this store and website, including all related information, content, features, tools, products and services, to provide customers around the world with access to New Zealand treats, snacks and grocery products (the "Services").

Kiwi Treats is powered by Shopify, which provides the ecommerce technology we use to operate our online store.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and disclose personal information when you visit, browse, use or make a purchase through kiwitreats.com, interact with our advertising or otherwise communicate with us.

This Privacy Policy may apply to customers and visitors in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and other locations where our website or Services are available.

If there is any conflict between our Terms of Service and this Privacy Policy concerning the collection, processing, use or disclosure of personal information, this Privacy Policy will apply.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using or accessing the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood how personal information may be handled as described below.

Personal information we collect or process

When we use the term "personal information", we mean information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you or another individual.

Personal information generally does not include information that has been anonymised or de-identified so that it can no longer reasonably be associated with an identifiable person.

Depending on how you interact with Kiwi Treats, where you live and what is permitted or required by applicable law, we may collect or process categories of information including:

  • Contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, billing address and delivery address.
  • Payment and transaction information, such as your payment method, payment confirmation, transaction information and information required to process your purchase. Full payment card details may be handled directly by Shopify, payment processors or financial service providers rather than stored directly by Kiwi Treats.
  • Account information, where applicable, including login details, saved addresses, preferences and account settings.
  • Order and shopping information, including products you view, purchase, add to your cart, return or otherwise interact with, together with your order history.
  • Customer service information, including information you provide when contacting us about an order, delivery, refund, complaint or other enquiry.
  • Review and feedback information, where you submit reviews, feedback, surveys or other content through the Services.
  • Device and technical information, including information about your browser, device, operating system, internet connection, IP address and similar identifiers.
  • Website usage information, including pages viewed, links clicked, browsing activity, session information, referring pages and the date and time of interactions.
  • Marketing information, including marketing preferences, advertising interactions and engagement with emails, promotions or advertisements.
  • Location information, including general geographic information inferred from your IP address and location information contained in billing or shipping details.

  • Your name
  • Shipping address
  • Email address
  • Telephone number
  • Order details
  • Product descriptions
  • Parcel value
  • Customs information

Our relationship with Shopify

Our online store is hosted by Shopify.

Shopify collects and processes personal information in connection with your access to and use of our store so that Shopify can provide ecommerce infrastructure, security, payment functionality and related services.

Information you provide through Kiwi Treats may therefore be transmitted to and processed by Shopify and its service providers in countries outside the country where you live.

We may also use Shopify features that help us analyse, protect, personalise and grow our business.

Some Shopify services may involve Shopify processing information collected through interactions with Kiwi Treats, other Shopify merchants and Shopify services.

In certain circumstances, Shopify may determine independently how some information is processed.

You can learn more about Shopify's handling of customer information through the Shopify Consumer Privacy Policyand, where available, exercise applicable rights through the Shopify Privacy Portal.

Payment processing

Payments made through Kiwi Treats may be processed by Shopify Payments, credit card networks, banks, digital wallets or other payment providers.

These providers may collect and process payment information independently in accordance with their own privacy policies.

Kiwi Treats does not necessarily receive or store your full payment card number.

Third-party websites and services

Our website may contain links to websites, apps or services operated by third parties.

If you follow a third-party link, that third party's privacy practices and terms will apply.

Kiwi Treats is not responsible for the privacy, security or practices of third-party websites, platforms or services that we do not own or control.

The inclusion of a link does not necessarily mean that Kiwi Treats endorses the third party.

Social media

If you interact with Kiwi Treats through platforms such as social media networks, those platforms may collect information about your activity according to their own privacy policies.

Information you post publicly or semi-publicly may be visible to other users.

We recommend reviewing the privacy settings and policies of any social media platforms you use.

Children's privacy

The Services are not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children below the age at which they may legally provide consent in their jurisdiction.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to Kiwi Treats without appropriate consent, contact us at hello@kiwitreats.com.

Where appropriate and required by law, we will review and delete the information.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of children in violation of applicable privacy laws.

Security of personal information

We take reasonable administrative, organisational and technical measures intended to protect personal information from:

  • Unauthorised access
  • Loss
  • Misuse
  • Alteration
  • Disclosure
  • Destruction

However, no internet transmission, electronic storage system or security method can guarantee absolute security.

Please avoid sending highly sensitive or confidential information through unsecured communication channels.

Retention of personal information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise required or permitted by law.

This may include retaining information to:

  • Fulfil and maintain records of orders
  • Provide customer service
  • Maintain accounts
  • Comply with tax and accounting requirements
  • Prevent fraud
  • Resolve disputes
  • Enforce agreements and policies
  • Protect legitimate business interests

Retention periods may vary depending on the category of information and the reason it was collected.

When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymise or securely dispose of it.

International transfers of personal information

Kiwi Treats is based in New Zealand and serves customers internationally.

As a result, personal information may be transferred to, processed in or stored in countries other than the country where you live.

For example, information may be processed in countries where Shopify, payment providers, analytics providers, advertising platforms, cloud providers, couriers or other service providers operate.

Privacy laws in these countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.

For transfers from the United Kingdom or European Economic Area to countries that do not benefit from an applicable adequacy decision, safeguards may include approved standard contractual clauses, international data transfer agreements or other legally recognised mechanisms.

Your privacy rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following privacy rights.

These rights are not absolute and may apply only in certain circumstances.

Where required, methods for exercising these rights may be provided through our website, privacy controls or by contacting us.

After unsubscribing from marketing, we may still send non-promotional communications necessary to operate the Services, including:

  • Order confirmations

  • Security notices
  • Customer service messages
  • Refund or dispute communications
