I'm ready to rewrite. Please provide the original paragraph you'd like me to edit. Once you share it, I'll deliver a rewritten version in en-NZ English (36–49 words, preserving all facts and proper nouns, varying only word choice and sentence structure).
3.1 Contact form submissions
When you send us a message through the contact form or by email, we receive:
- the name you have given us;
- your email address;
- the content of your message.
3.2 Technical server logs
For the site to operate, our server may temporarily log:
- your IP address in a shortened form;
- the browser type and version;
- your operating system;
- the time of the visit and the page you viewed.
We keep this data for up to 14 days for security reasons, without linking it to any identifying personal details.
3.3 Cookies
We use strictly necessary cookies to maintain site functionality—for example, to store your cookie consent preference. If you separately consent to analytics or marketing cookies, some may be set by third-party providers. See our Cookie Policy page for further information.
4. Purposes and lawful basis for processing
We process personal information for the following purposes and on the following bases under New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020 and the OPC’s Information Privacy Principles (IPPs):
- Responding to your enquiries: we process the information you provide to answer your message (IPP 1, IPP 10).
- Site operation: server logs are processed to maintain the security and integrity of the site (legitimate interest, IPP 5).
- Optional cookies: we use analytics and marketing cookies only when you've given us your consent (IPP 3, IPP 10).
- We may process personal information to meet statutory obligations or court orders, as required under the Privacy Act 2020 (IPP 11).
5. Retention
- Contact messages: retained for up to 12 months unless ongoing correspondence requires us to keep them longer.
- Server logs: no more than 14 days.
- Cookies are retained for no longer than 12 months in accordance with cookie-specific retention schedules. Full details are available on the Cookie Policy page.
Information that is no longer needed is deleted or anonymised at the end of its retention period.
6. Who can access your information
MaoriSpins won't sell personal information to third parties. Specific situations may involve information sharing or processing:
- hosting partners and technical contractors (processors) who perform work in accordance with our documented instructions;
- government agencies if required by law.
7. Cross-border transfers
The site’s primary technical environment is in Australia/New Zealand. If information is transferred outside New Zealand (for example to a US service provider), the transfer takes place only with safeguards consistent with IPP 12 — contractual protections that ensure comparable privacy standards to those required by the Privacy Act 2020.
8. Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020 you have the following rights:
- Access (IPP 6): your right to know if we hold personal information about you and to request a copy of it.
- Correction (IPP 7): your right to have incorrect information corrected or deleted.
- Right to request erasure: you may ask us to delete your personal information in certain circumstances.
- **Restriction:** in certain circumstances, your entitlement to restrict how your personal information is processed.
- The right to obtain your information in a structured, machine-readable format that you're able to transfer elsewhere if you choose.
- **Objection:** the right to object to processing founded on legitimate interest.
- You can withdraw consent at any time if we're processing your data based on it — for example, with cookies.
Requests can be sent by email to [email protected]. We will respond within 20 working days at the latest.
9. Complaints to the regulator
If you believe we have not handled your information in accordance with the law, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner:
- Office of the Privacy Commissioner: privacy.org.nz
- Post: PO Box 10094, Wellington 6143
- Phone: 0800 803 909
10. Security
MaoriSpins operates with HTTPS encryption, restricting personal information access to authorised staff. Our operational framework incorporates regular security updates and established best practice.
11. Children
MaoriSpins is designed for adults aged 18 years and over. We do not intentionally collect personal information from anyone under 18. If parents or guardians discover their child has submitted information, please contact us and we will delete it straight away.
12. Changes to this policy
We may revise this policy if our practice or legal obligations change. Any updates will be flagged here, with the latest revision date shown at the top of the page.
In short: we collect as little as possible, we don’t sell information, you have clear rights that we respect. Requests: [email protected].
