How do we collect your personal information?
We will if it is reasonable or practicable to do so, collect your personal information directly from you. We may collect personal information in various ways, including:

Sometimes we may collect personal information from a third party such as credit reporting agencies and government bodies or from representatives such as lawyers and accountants.

If we receive personal information that we did not solicit, we will determine as soon as reasonably practicable whether we could have legitimately collected that information as part of our functions or activities. If we determine the unsolicited information could not have been legitimately collected by us, then provided it is lawful and reasonable to do so, we will destroy or de-identify that information as soon as practical.

The Act and corresponding APPs require us to ensure that, before disclosing personal information overseas, reasonable steps are taken to ensure that overseas recipients do not breach the Act or the APPs (APP 8.1).

We do not take any responsibility for the actions of overseas third party recipients of personal information.

Like many other businesses in New Zealand, we may rely on third party suppliers to provide specialised services such as web hosting, cloud computing technology and data storage services. These suppliers may store data on servers located outside New Zealand. It is not practicable to list every country in which such overseas recipients may be located. If personal information is provided to these suppliers in order for them to perform the agreed tasks, we will make every effort to ensure that these suppliers handle the personal information in accordance with the Act and the APPs.
We may sell, transfer, or otherwise disclose our database of personal information to an actual or potential successor entity, purchaser, or investor in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, sale of our assets or substantially all our assets, share sale, investment transaction or other corporate rearrangement.

Security of personal information

Your personal information may be stored in hard copy documents or electronically. We are committed to keeping your personal information secure and safe. Some of the ways we do this are:

Requiring employees and service providers to enter into confidentiality agreements;
Secure hard copy document storage, e.g. storing hard copy documents in locked filing cabinets;
Security measures for access to our computer systems;
Access control for our building after hours;
Use of password protection;
Access privileges for our websites and data servers;
Anti-spam, anti-virus and anti-malware software;

Access to personal information

You may request access to any personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us (see the Contacting Us section for more information). Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it.

No charges will apply for simply making a request and for us to make any corrections to your personal information.

If we do not agree to provide access to your personal information or to correct your personal information, we will provide written reasons for the refusal and outline the mechanisms available to complain about the refusal (see the Complaints section for more information).
