We sadly don't have any say over these external websites. Every one of these sites has its own unique privacy protocol, which we strongly encourage you to scrutinise meticulously before giving out any personal data. We cannot shoulder any responsibility concerning the privacy standards of these third-party sites. Therefore, if you decide to venture out and click on any of these links, you willingly and consciously accept any risks that might emerge from your use of these third-party sites we've directed you to.

Should you decide to disclose any of your private details to an external site that our Website or Services may lead you to, then our Privacy Policy doesn't hold any ground. The protective blanket of our Privacy Policy becomes irrelevant and can't be relied upon in those instances. Please remember, the precious safeguard of your personal details is eventually in your hands, with choices entirely yours to make. Our Privacy Policy stands guard for you only within the dominion of our website and services.

Using your information

Beyond the rationale delineated in this Privacy Policy, the knowledge we gather from you, our valued user, might have the potential to be employed for these additional intentions:

• In order to comply with all legal and regulatory responsibilities of the Site, which encompasses all legislative needs related to participation in any contests provided by our Site;
• In order to maintain the protection and assurance of Our Site;
• To assess the pertinence of the content accessed by You;
• Enhancing and altering Our Services by carrying out investigations or analytics.

Additionally, we could potentially tap into the information we have on hand should the New Zealand government come knocking. This would naturally be in full compliance with the nation's prevailing laws and regulations, or in response to directives from the courts or a comparable legal institution.

Sharing your information

We may distribute the information that we collect in the following manner:

Providers of services and additional parties

Our organisation is poised to connect with certain reliable external collaborators and commercial allies, sharing Your Personal Details, all in the spirit of complementing their roles and processing User data on the behalf of our Website. This is not merely a calculated business move, but a testament of our commitment to creating a seamless and secure user experience for you.

Conducting studies, evaluations, or technical assessments.

The managing of de-identified information, transferred to external parties using the procedures detailed herein, will be carried out in strict adherence to the safeguarding promises laid out in this Privacy Policy and in line with New Zealand law. We're committed to ensuring that our actions will be steered by the rigorous rules set forth, adding layers of security to protect your privacy.

Other disclosures

We might disseminate and unveil anonymous information to our trusted advisors, meticulous auditors, and any enthusiastic investors or potential buyers interested in our Company. This kind of information could also find its way to our cherished affiliates and subsidiaries, forming a vital part of our transparent network within New Zealand.

In a situation where a significant business event, like a merger is on the table that directly involves our Company, or perhaps, a scenario where a substantial chunk of our Company's business is courting potential buyers, we reserve the right to share relevant information with prospective buyers or sellers involved. This also applies in instances when the Company has set its sights on acquiring fresh assets or expanding its business through the purchase of another.

In addition to the scenarios mentioned earlier, there may be instances where we feel compelled to share information. This could be driven by our sincere belief that releasing such details would be beneficial, or understandably required to fulfil any obligations under New Zealand law, respond to a request from a government body, or adhere to the rules and regulations of the land. It might be a matter of upholding legal entitlements such as intellectual property, responding assertively to illegal activities and shady deeds such as security breaches and suspected fraud, enforcing our internal rules, or standing firm in the face of legal challenges. At the end of the day, it's about safeguarding the peace of mind and rights of ourselves, you, or any other party involved. These measures aren't taken lightly and speaks volumes to our commitment to protect and uphold the rights and safety of all parties involved.

Preservation of your data

We ensure to only hold onto your personal details and non-identifying data for as long as our agreements and policies deem necessary, out of our absolute commitment to the rule of law and overall security here in New Zealand.

Protection and conveyance of your data

By choosing to engage with our site, we know that you've taken your precious time to fully absorb our Privacy Policy, and we gratefully acknowledge your agreement to its terms concerning the safekeeping and handling of your personal information.

It's vital to us that we devote considerable time and effort to crafting and maintaining watertight security protocols. We rely heavily on security measures that align with the best in the business to prevent the misuse of any impersonal data by unauthorised individuals. However, as dedicated as we are, and despite pulling out all the stops, we can't promise absolute imperviousness from all illicit attempts to access our data or exploit our services. Our unwavering commitment to safeguarding your information is our top priority, even as we navigate the complex and ever-evolving landscape of online security here in New Zealand.

Regrettably, the world of online data transmission is riddled with potential risks. Despite our company bending over backwards to arm your information with robust defenses, we're still up against the harsh reality that absolute security for all information ushered onto our website is regrettably elusive. There's no such thing as a 100% surefire safeguard in the vast and unpredictable realm of the online, so every action you take online does carry an element of risk. We wish it were otherwise, but that's the online landscape we're navigating here in New Zealand.

As a globally-operating enterprise, we may need to transfer your Personal Information, not just within New Zealand, but to nations that stretch beyond our borders. A crucial point to keep in mind here is that the privacy laws and associated regulations of these overseas countries might not be as stringent or all-encompassing as our own. In such circumstances, we are committed to moving mountains if necessary, to ensure that any anonymised information gathered from you receives a comparable degree of protection. Through your engagement with this website, your agreement to the transmission of any anonymised data in line with our Privacy Policy is implicitly understood. It's like you're reaching out, extending a trust-filled handshake across the online divide. Isn't that a beautiful thing to behold?
