Sharing and disclosure

We may share personal information with trusted service providers that help us run the website (e.g., hosting, analytics, security, email). They are only allowed to use it to provide services to us. We may also disclose information where required or permitted by law, or to protect users and our service.

International processing

Some service providers may store or process information outside New Zealand. We take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients protect information in a way that is comparable to the Privacy Act 2020 (for example, through contractual safeguards and due diligence).

Retention

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described above, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law (for example, for security, dispute resolution, or compliance). We then delete or de-identify it where reasonable.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect information from loss, unauthorised access, use, modification, or disclosure (such as access controls, encryption in transit where supported, and monitoring). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Your rights (access and correction)

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you can request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity and may refuse a request only where the Act allows.

Complaints

If you have a privacy concern, please contact us first and we will work to resolve it. You may also complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (New Zealand).
