The website incorporates physical,
electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard the confidentiality of

your personal information in our facilities. Access to your personal
information is restricted. Only employees who need access to your personal
information to perform a specific job are granted access to your personal
information.
While
we use industry-standard precautions to safeguard your personal information, we
cannot guarantee 100%. Please be advised, no transmission of data over the Internet or any
other network can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Although we make reasonable
efforts to safeguard personal information once we receive it, we cannot warrant
the security of information we receive. You should always use appropriate
self-protection measures and practice safe browsing on all websites, including,
protecting your password and your computers, devices, applications, and account
from unauthorized access. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared
computer.
We follow the NZ law that the requirement to disclose any
privacy breaches and advice those whose privacy has been breached will be a top
priority should that unfortunate event occur.
Where the customer personal data is held outside of the
country (and on cloud) the obligation is on our NZ entity to protect that data
and make sure that it is secure.
