Privacy Statement

Last updated: September 2026

The Curiosity Stop respects your privacy. This statement explains what personal information may be collected through this website, why it is collected and how it is handled.

Who we are

The Curiosity Stop is created and managed by Jenny Setchell in New Zealand. It brings together information about Martin Setchell, Pipeline Press publications, photography, articles, puzzles, gifts and related activities.

You can contact us through the Contact page on this website.

Information you provide

We may collect personal information when you:

  • send a message through the contact form;
  • subscribe to the newsletter;
  • place an order or make an enquiry about a product; or
  • otherwise provide information directly to us.

This information may include your name, email address, postal address, order details and anything you choose to include in a message.

Providing this information is voluntary. However, without the necessary contact or delivery information, we may be unable to reply to an enquiry, send a newsletter or fulfil an order.

How we use your information

We use personal information only for the purpose for which it was supplied, including:

  • replying to enquiries;
  • sending newsletters and occasional updates;
  • processing and fulfilling orders;
  • keeping necessary business and transaction records;
  • maintaining the security and operation of the website; and
  • meeting any legal obligations.

We do not sell or rent personal information to other organisations.

Newsletter subscriptions

Newsletter subscriptions are managed through Sender. If you subscribe, your name and email address may be stored and processed by Sender so that we can send newsletters and related updates.

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter.

Purchases and external shops

Some products featured on this website are purchased through external services and shops, including PayPal, BookVault, Zazzle, Redbubble and Fine Art America.

Payments are processed by the relevant provider. The Curiosity Stop does not receive or store your complete credit or debit card details.

For orders that we fulfil directly, the payment provider may give us information such as your name, email address, delivery address and order details. We use this information only to complete the order and maintain necessary transaction records.

When you visit or purchase from an external website, that provider’s own privacy statement and terms will apply. Some of these services may store or process information outside New Zealand.

Website hosting and technical information

This website uses WordPress and is hosted by Hostinger. The website, its hosting provider and security services may automatically record limited technical information, such as:

  • your IP address;
  • browser and device type;
  • the pages visited;
  • the date and time of a visit; and
  • information needed to identify technical problems or suspicious activity.

This information is used to operate, maintain and protect the website.

Cookies and embedded content

The website may use cookies necessary for its operation. Pages may also contain embedded material, such as YouTube videos, or links to external websites.

Embedded and external services may collect information or place their own cookies when you interact with them. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy policies.

Storage and security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure.

Information is kept only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required for legal, accounting or business records.

Accessing or correcting your information

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you may ask to access personal information we hold about you or request that it be corrected.

Please use the Contact page if you wish to make a privacy-related request. We may need to confirm your identity before releasing or changing personal information.

If you have a concern about how your information has been handled, please contact us first so that we can try to resolve it. You may also contact the New Zealand Office of the Privacy Commissioner at www.privacy.org.nz.

We may update this Privacy Statement if the website or the services it uses change. The date at the top of the page will show when it was last updated.
