A privacy policy change comes into effect today

Written by The Trade Me team in General at 5:00pm, Mon 2 Nov 2015

Earlier this month we gave you a heads up about a minor change to our privacy policy which comes into effect today.

We’ve tweaked our policy in light of some awesome services Trade Me is offering, to ensure we’re being upfront and transparent about what we do with your personal information. You can see the new clause 1.g, below:

Where Trade Me uses third parties to undertake services, we may provide those third parties with some of your information if it is required to fulfil those services. For example, we use third parties to send you letters for address verification, to provide you with shipping services or to conduct research for us to ensure the Services we provide you are relevant and personalised to your interests. We also use third party software (such as customer relationship management, marketing automation and accounting software) that holds your information, sometimes overseas. We require any third party to undertake strict precautions to protect your information against unauthorised use or disclosure.

What’s changing?

From today, we’re tweaking section 4.2(u) of our terms and conditions to clarify that we’ll be periodically searching the publicly available Motor Vehicle Trader Register (MVTR) to check and maintain dealers’ Registered Motor Vehicle Trader (RMVT) status.

As some current RMVTs will be aware, we already check the MVTR occasionally, as outlined in section 15(h) of our privacy policy, where we state “[w]e may also collect publicly available information about you, such as for fraud prevention purposes.” More...

Police change the process of purchasing firearms

Written by The Trade Me Team in General at 4:30pm, Fri 23 Oct 2015

The online sale of firearms has become a hot topic this week and as a result Police have made a change to how they manage remote firearms sales.

This means if you’re buying a firearm that you don’t intend to pick up (i.e. it will be delivered), you will need to provide further information in order for Police to verify your firearms licence and allow you to complete the trade.

Buyers will need to have specific information from sellers that they must provide to Police. Police will fill out their form and then email it to the seller themselves to say they’ve sighted the buyer’s licence.  More...
