Who we are
Richardson Ceramics is a small ceramics studio based in Auckland, New Zealand. This policy explains what information may be collected when you visit richardsonceramics.com and how it is used.
Information collected when you visit
The website and its hosting provider may record standard technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages visited, and the date and time of your visit. This information is used to operate, secure and improve the website.
The public site currently has no customer accounts, public comments or contact form. If you contact Richardson Ceramics through Instagram, your message is handled through Instagram and is also subject to Instagram’s privacy practices.
Analytics and cookies
This website uses Google Analytics, connected through MonsterInsights, to understand how people find and use the site. Analytics may collect information such as pages viewed, approximate location, browser and device information, referral source and interactions with the site. Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies for this purpose.
You can limit cookies through your browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies should not prevent you from browsing the main website.
How information is used and shared
Information is used to keep the website working, protect it from misuse, understand site performance and respond to enquiries. It may be processed by service providers that support the website, including the hosting provider, Google Analytics and Instagram when you choose to use that service. Richardson Ceramics does not sell visitor information.
Retention
Technical logs and analytics information are retained according to the settings and policies of the relevant hosting and analytics providers. Direct enquiries may be retained for as long as reasonably needed to respond and keep an appropriate business record.
External links
The website links to Instagram and may link to other external services. Those services operate under their own privacy policies, and Richardson Ceramics is not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
The future online shop
The online shop is not currently open. This policy will be reviewed before checkout is launched so it accurately explains how order, payment, delivery and customer-support information is handled.
