Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This Privacy Policy explains how Beautkne ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you visit beautkne.pro, purchase digital posture guides, request workspace advice, or otherwise interact with our computer posture education services based in New Zealand.
Who We Are
Beautkne provides educational content and digital products related to proper computer posture, desk alignment, and screen break habits. Our registered contact address is 62 South Terrace, Darfield 7510, New Zealand. For privacy enquiries, contact us using the details on reach-us.html.
Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to personal data processed in connection with:
- Browsing our website and reading free posture articles
- Submitting contact or product enquiry forms
- Purchasing digital guides such as Posture Foundations PDF, Desk Setup Checklist Bundle, and Home Office Ergonomics Master Bundle
- Receiving email delivery of purchased materials and optional update notifications
- Communicating with our team about desk setup questions
Our content is educational. It does not constitute professional occupational health advice. You should seek qualified assistance for persistent physical discomfort.
Information We Collect
We may collect the following categories of personal information:
- Identity and contact data: name, email address, phone number if provided, and organisation name for business enquiries
- Transaction data: products ordered, price paid in NZD, payment reference details supplied by payment processors, and delivery confirmation for digital files
- Communication data: messages you send via our contact form, including descriptions of your desk, chair, and work habits
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP for security and analytics
- Cookie and similar technologies data as described in our Cookies Policy
- Consent records: timestamps and versions of policies accepted when you tick the personal data processing checkbox on forms
We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of data such as health records. If you voluntarily include health-related information in a message, we will use it only to understand your ergonomic context and will not use it for unrelated profiling.
How We Use Your Information
We process personal data for the following purposes:
- Responding to enquiries about posture guides, pricing, and desk setup recommendations
- Fulfilling orders for digital products and sending download links or attachments
- Providing customer support, including troubleshooting download issues and explaining guide content
- Improving our website, product descriptions, and educational materials based on aggregated usage patterns
- Preventing fraud, abuse, and unauthorised access to our systems
- Complying with legal obligations under New Zealand law, including tax and consumer protection requirements where applicable
- Sending service-related communications such as purchase confirmations and material updates you are entitled to under your product tier
We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
Legal Bases for Processing
Depending on the activity, we rely on:
- Contract performance: to deliver digital guides you purchase and provide related support
- Consent: where you opt in to optional communications or accept non-essential cookies
- Legitimate interests: to secure our website, understand product demand, and improve educational content, balanced against your rights
- Legal obligation: where retention or disclosure is required by applicable law
Sharing Your Information
We may share personal data with:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers that store our website and email systems
- Payment processors that handle NZD transactions on our behalf
- Email delivery services used to send digital products and support replies
- Professional advisers such as accountants or lawyers when necessary and subject to confidentiality
- Authorities if required by law or to protect our legal rights
All service providers are required to process data only on our instructions and implement appropriate security measures. Where data is stored outside New Zealand, we take steps to ensure comparable protection consistent with the Privacy Act 2020.
Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy:
- Contact form submissions: up to twenty-four months unless an ongoing support relationship exists
- Purchase and invoicing records: seven years where required for tax and accounting purposes
- Marketing consents: until withdrawn, plus a short record of withdrawal
- Server logs: typically ninety days unless needed for security investigations
When data is no longer required, we delete or anonymise it using secure methods.
Security
We implement administrative, technical, and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of our digital products business, including access controls, encrypted connections via HTTPS, and limited staff access to personal data. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure; we encourage you to use strong passwords for any accounts associated with our services.
Your Rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you may have the right to access personal information we hold about you, request correction, and in some circumstances object to or restrict certain processing. You may withdraw consent for optional processing where consent is the legal basis. To exercise these rights, contact us via reach-us.html. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in New Zealand.
Children
Our posture guides are intended for adults managing their own workspaces. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under sixteen. If you believe a child has provided data to us, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Third-Party Links
Our website may include links to external resources such as Google Maps embeds. Those third parties have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their practices.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our products, technology, or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top will change accordingly. Material changes will be highlighted on the website where appropriate.
