Privacy Policy
RB refers to RB New Zealand Limited ("RB"). (and its affiliates) (“RB”, “we” or “us”).
This Privacy Policy aims to help you understand how we may use personal information collected by RB in accordance with the Privacy Act 1993. We are not responsible for any third party websites which may be accessible through links from RB’s website.
What personal information does RB collect and how do we collect it?
RB collects personal information that is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, RB’s functions and activities which includes the marketing and sale of products to consumers. When you visit our website, buy something from our websites or apps or enter a competition or other promotion carried out by us, RB may collect personal information such as your name, company and title or position, contact details such as telephone number and postal or email address, and any other information relating to you which you may provide.
We and our service providers or third-party ad-servers also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. Most cookies and similar technologies will only collect de-identified information such as:
- how you arrive at our website

You have the option of providing information to us anonymously, unless we consider that it would be impractical for us to deal with you anonymously. For example, you have the option of providing us with only a telephone number or email, or a telephone number and email accompanied by a pseudonym, or by only providing an email or telephone number. However a consequence of not providing your name or address may be, amongst other things, that certain services may not be available to you, or that you will not be able to be awarded a prize if you are a prize winner in a competition or promotion which is being run by us.
RB will not collect sensitive information (such as information about your race, religion or politics) unless we obtain your express consent to do so.
At or before the time we collect your personal information, or, if that is not practicable, as soon as practicable afterwards, we will notify you of certain matters about which we are required to notify you in accordance with the APP’s, such as our contact details, the purpose for which we are collecting your personal information and the consequences for you if you do not provide the personal information to us.
How do we use this information?
Your personal information will be used by RB for the following purposes:
- administering our relationship with you, providing products and services, and responding to enquiries
- administering competitions including identifying you to award a prize;
- aggregating and linking personal and non-personal information about you;
- promoting and marketing RB’s products and services to you/the public;
- meeting legal or other regulatory obligations imposed on us;
