Information GCL gathers and tracks
GCL gathers two types of information about users.Data that users provide through optional, voluntary registration on our site and in certain contests and sweepstakes.The data GCL gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our site. Such information enables us to better tailor our content to customers needs and to help us in better promotions and prices for our products.
We will never divulge information about an individual user to a third party. All data that is gathered, is used internally for our own usage only.
GCL gathers user information in the following processes:
Registration
The GCL site offer free, voluntary registration to users. By registering, users can enter the site without having to log on each time; they gain access to the administrative area; and they can take advantage of personalization (the ability to select content according to a user-supplied profile).
During registration the user is required to supply an email address and password, and must answer mandatory survey questions Ex: Phone No., Post code, country, and other information.
During registration the user has to supply a first name, last name. In addition, the user can opt to subscribe to GCL electronic newsletters. We also log the IP address during ordering process for statistical and security purposes

Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also subscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.
Surveys
Occasionally GCL conducts user surveys to better target our products to our audience. We never share any of this information about specific individuals with any third party.
Contests and sweepstakes
GCL offers contests and sweepstakes in which we request certain personal information. At a minimum, the required information includes name and email address; in some cases, the user must answer mandatory survey questions about a range of other personal data. The information gathered in the entry form is used to verify the entrants identity, to send the entrant an email notification that their entry has been received, and to contact winners and/or prize recipients.
Because the rules and terms of each contest can vary, all information about each contest is clearly posted during the event. All contests and sweepstakes are conducted in full accordance with NZ laws.
Usage tracking
GCL tracks user traffic patterns throughout our site. However, we do not correlate this information with data about individual users. GCL does break down overall usage statistics according to a users domain name, browser type, and MIME type by reading this information from the browser string (information contained in every users browser).
GCL sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users.
