We prioritize the security of your personal data and implement comprehensive measures to protect it from unauthorized access, loss, theft, and misuse. Our security strategy includes a combination of administrative, technical, and physical safeguards aimed at preventing unauthorized disclosure, alteration, and destruction of your data.
Although we employ advanced security measures to safeguard your data, no system can be completely immune to security breaches. The Internet, by its nature, does not guarantee the complete security of data transmission or storage. While we are committed to protecting your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. However, we will continuously assess and improve our security practices to enhance the protection of your data, in compliance with the laws and regulations of New Zealand.
In the event of a sale, merger, or any other change in ownership or control of our company, your personal data may be disclosed as part of the transaction or during preparations for such an event. The new owner or controlling entity will be permitted to use your personal data, but only in accordance with the terms outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless you provide explicit consent for a different use, in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations of New Zealand.
We will retain your personal data only for as long as you maintain an account with us and for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice.
Additionally, we may retain your data for a longer period if required by applicable legal obligations, such as anti-money laundering (AML) regulations or other regulatory requirements in New Zealand.
Once your account is closed and there is no longer a legal or business need to retain your data, your personal data will be either deleted or anonymized so that it can no longer be associated with you.
You have certain rights regarding the personal data we hold about you under New Zealand’s privacy regulations. These include:
- Right to Access: You have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you and obtain information on how we process it.
- Right to Rectify: You can request to rectify or correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data about you.
- Right to Erasure: You have the right to request the deletion or removal of your personal data when there is no compelling legal or business reason for its continued processing.
- Right to Restrict Processing: You may request to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request the transfer of your personal data to another party in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
- Right to Object: You can object to the processing of your personal data, especially if we are processing it on grounds of legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of previous processing based on your consent.
- Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. In New Zealand, this would be the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
