Privacy & Security - About This Security and Privacy Statement
This Security and Privacy Statement applies to this website which is operated by Surplus Brokers NZ Ltd under the domain name "www.roadchief.co.nz" (Road CHIEF website)
Road CHIEF understands and appreciates that you, as a Road CHIEF website visitor, are concerned about your privacy and about the confidentiality and security of information we may gain about you online. Road CHIEF is committed to protecting your privacy. This Road CHIEF Security and Privacy Statement explains how your personal information will be treated as you access and interact with the Road CHIEF website.
As the Road CHIEF website develops and as technology evolves, Road CHIEF will continue to strive to provide you with better and more customised services and with a more effective website. Road CHIEF encourages you to review the Security and Privacy Statement periodically because the Security and Privacy Statement may change from time to time.
The Road CHIEF Privacy Policy explains how Road CHIEF generally protects your privacy and confidentiality. The principles set out in the Road CHIEF Privacy Policy also apply to Road CHIEF websites.
In addition to the provisions of this Security and Privacy Statement, there may also be specific and additional privacy provisions which apply to certain sections of the Road CHIEF website. Because those specific and additional provisions also relate to your privacy protection, you should review them wherever they are accessible by you on the Road CHIEF website. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Security and Privacy Statement and those other specific and additional provisions, the specific and additional provisions will prevail.
Road Chief takes reasonable steps to preserve the security of cookie and personal information in accordance with the Road CHIEF website Terms of Use and this Security and Privacy Statement. If your browser is suitably configured, it will advise you whether the information you are sending us will be secure (encrypted) or not secure (unencrypted). If secure transmission is indicated, Road CHIEF currently uses 128 bit SSL encryption through its Payment Gateway Payment Express. All credit card transactions are therefore handled through a secure server
Road CHIEF regularly reviews developments in security and encryption technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Accordingly, although Road CHIEF strives to protect such information, Road CHIEF cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online products or services and you do so at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we take reasonable steps to preserve the security of the information in our own systems.
The information that Road CHIEF collects about you is dependent on how you use the facilities offered by the Road CHIEF website.
If you visit an unsecure area of the Road CHIEF website (that is, an area where you are not required to log on) to read, browse or download information, our system will record the date and time of your visit to our site, the pages viewed and any information downloaded. However, our systems will not record any personally identifiable information.
If you decide to complete an online application form or online survey, the information that you enter into the online form or survey will only be collected by Road CHIEF if you submit your online application or survey. If at any stage you cancel your application or log out prior to submitting your application or survey, the information you have entered up to that point will be automatically deleted.
It is necessary for Road CHIEF to collect your IP address for your interaction with various parts of the Road CHIEF website. Your IP address is the identifier for your computer when you are using the internet.

As part of our security for Road CHIEF we use this information when we attempt to detect and prevent fraudulent transactions. We store your IP address for security and audit purposes. Your IP address will not be used by us or released to any third party except in the case of security, inappropriate behaviour or fraud issues, such as unauthorised access to your or our computer systems or fraudulent transactions.
