Privacy
General principles
Your privacy as a user and/or subscriber of Lumière Industries' services is important to us. The nature of the services may require that we ask you to share information about yourself with us. This information is treated with utmost confidentiality. This information is not shared with other users of our services, nor with partners whose services you have not used, except as and when it is appropriate and explicitly stated that it is our intention to do as part of the normal course of the services.
We do not share, rent or sell private information to any other third party without your prior express permission. This information will be shared as required in response to all court orders and lawful requests from governmental authorities. The information collected is used to help us improve the services that we offer to our users. We may aggregate this information in order to assist in the formation of commercial partnerships, such as advertisers and other commercial partners. It is not possible to ascertain individuals from this and we do not supply information for such purposes to them.

How we collect and use information
We collect information in the following ways:
Subscription
During registration for subscription to our newsletter(s), we may ask for some personal details, such as your name, emails, gender and address. The more information you volunteer (and the more accurate it is), the better we are able to customise your experience. Once you register you are no longer anonymous and are able to take full advantage of our many offerings. Some of the information will be required before you can register; other information will be optional. Which information is required will be clearly marked as such, but you are under no obligation to provide us with any information.
Comments
Whilst browsing content on our website, users may add comments to editorial items via the comment feature located at the foot of each item. This feature asks – but does not require – users to enter their name and an email address or URL in addition to their comment. Entering either an email address or URL is not compulsory, and is entirely optional. Should users choose to include an email address, other users will be able to click on a link appearing above your comment, and email you. Similarly, providing a URL will create a link to that particular website. We bear no responsibility in the event of email addresses being obtained by third parties through the comment feature.
Comments by users are also moderated accordingly by Lumière Industries' website staff. Users may request the removal/amendment of comments should they no longer wish their email or URL to be displayed by contacting us.
Questionnaires
During the course of using our services, we may ask you to fill in short questionnaires giving us additional personal information. This may happen, for example, when you enter contests or participate in research surveys. The personal information collected on such forms is used to help us understand who is using our services and to verify compliance with contest conditions.
Other data sources
If you contact us we may keep a record of that correspondence and incorporate the information it contains into our user database. We may contact you in response to your correspondence, unless you explicitly request that we do not and we are not legally obliged to do so. From time to time we may purchase additional lifestyle data from external parties, to allow us to better understand our users and their likely interests and needs.
Usage Information
We use IP addresses and emails to analyse trends, administer the site and email newsletters, track user movements and gather information on traffic loads on our servers. This is used by us to find out how our users use our services.
How we protect information
All personal information is stored by us is kept on a server in a secure environment and in our offices.
Please keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information online – for example on message boards, through email or SMS, in text chat areas or posting article comments (as our website allows) – that information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post or transmit personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.
We cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or to our partners from our online and mobile products or services, and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security on our systems.
Third Party Links and Partners privacy policies
Whilst using Lumière Industries' services, you may be directed to a partner or third party site. When you link to these sites, you should review their privacy policy, as it may be different from our privacy policy. Partner or third party sites may send their own cookies to users and otherwise collect data or solicit personal information. Lumière Industries is not responsible, and shall not be liable, for the privacy practices of these sites that may make use of any information collected from you.
Other Information and Contact Details
During the registration process, you grant us permission to send you general information about our services. The option for granting this permission is clearly stated during the registration process. Similarly, you may grant us permission to send you information from third parties, usually upcoming events or film/DVD releases which you may be interested. If you do grant such permission, your personal information will not actually be given to the third parties. Instead, we will act as the middleman.
Unsubscribe
Users can opt out of receiving our newsletters by sending an email direct to lumiere@lumiere.net.nz. Alternatively, users can unsubscribe by clicking [here]. Once unsubscribed, your email will be blacklisted and you will not receive any further communications from us.
