This policy explains how WCTNZ® manages user accounts, including account deletion requests, inactive accounts, account suspension, and account termination.
This policy operates alongside the WCTNZ® Privacy Policy, Terms & Conditions, and any applicable legal record-keeping obligations.
We reserve the right to modify the policy governing user accounts at any time. Minor administrative or formatting changes may be effective immediately upon posting the updated policy on our website. Where we make significant changes that materially affect user account rights or obligations, we will make reasonable efforts to notify users via email or through a prominent notice on our website at least 30 days before those changes take effect, where practicable.
Your continued use of your account after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the modified policy.
You may request account deletion at any time, subject to identity verification and any legal or operational records WCTNZ® is required or reasonably entitled to retain.
If an account remains inactive for an extended period, WCTNZ® may contact the user, suspend access, or terminate the account in accordance with this policy.
WCTNZ® may suspend or terminate an account for breach of terms, illegal activity, misuse, security concerns, or other reasons needed to protect the website, business, staff, or other users.
Account data is managed in accordance with the WCTNZ® Privacy Policy, including access, correction, security, and deletion request handling.
You have the right to request the deletion of your account at any time. To initiate the account deletion process, please submit a written request to our customer support team at support@wctnz.co.nz or through the account settings page on our website, where available.
Upon receiving your request, we will verify your identity and process the account deletion request within 30 days where reasonably practicable.
Account deletion may not remove all records connected with purchases, invoices, payments, warranty claims, support history, fraud-prevention records, tax records, legal records, or other information WCTNZ® is required or reasonably entitled to retain. Where full deletion is not appropriate, WCTNZ® may retain, archive, de-identify, or anonymise information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, data retention practices, and applicable laws.
Once your account access is deleted or disabled, you may no longer be able to access order history, account features, saved addresses, saved account preferences, return request pathways, or account-based customer records through the website.
Any ongoing subscriptions, services, account-based features, or stored account functions tied to your account may be cancelled or disabled upon deletion.
If your account remains inactive for a period of 12 consecutive months, we reserve the right to take the following actions:
To reactivate a suspended account, you must log in and update your account information before the termination period.
Even where account access is suspended or terminated, WCTNZ® may retain order, invoice, warranty, support, tax, fraud-prevention, or legal records where required or reasonably necessary.
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your account at any time for violations of our terms of service, engaging in illegal activities, misuse of the website or account systems, suspected fraud, security concerns, abusive conduct, or any other reason we consider necessary to protect our services, staff, business, systems, or other users.
In such cases, we will provide you with written notice of termination or suspension to the email address associated with your account where appropriate and reasonably practicable.
You may also choose to terminate your account at any time by submitting a written request to our customer support team.
Upon termination, whether initiated by you or by WCTNZ®, your access to account services may be revoked immediately, and we may delete, archive, de-identify, or anonymise your personal information in accordance with our data retention policies, Privacy Policy, and applicable laws.
