Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters, and this document explains what data this portal collects, why it is processed, and which rights you hold. Not everything sits in one place: further details appear in the separate documents on cookies and terms of use. By opening these pages, you accept the current version described below.

Who is responsible

The operator of this portal is responsible for the handling of your data and is referred to throughout as “we” or “us”, while the person visiting is the “user” or “you”. All connections to the website run through modern encryption, which strengthens the security of every transfer. For any privacy request, you can reach us at [email protected].

What data we collect

When you browse, technical details are recorded automatically, such as your IP address, browser type, device, and the pages you view. If you contact us by email, we also store the information you choose to share. We do not knowingly gather data from persons under 18 years of age in New Zealand or elsewhere.

Why we process it

The information helps us run the site securely, understand which comparisons readers find useful, and improve our reviews. Aggregated statistics show how visitors from New Zealand use the pages, without identifying anyone personally. We never sell your data, and we share it only where the law requires or to keep the service running.

Cookies and analytics

This portal uses cookies and similar tools to store preferences and measure traffic. You can accept, refuse, or adjust these choices at any time through your browser settings or the consent banner. Third-party analytics providers may set their own cookies, and their handling of data is governed by their respective policies.

Affiliate links and tracking

When you follow a link to a listed operator, a referral parameter may be passed so the operator can credit the visit. This lets the portal earn a commission at no cost to you. The tracking identifies the source of the click, not you as an individual, and it does not affect the reviews you read.

How long data is kept

We retain information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Server logs are typically deleted after a short period, while correspondence is kept while a matter remains open. Once data is no longer necessary, it is removed or anonymised.

Your rights

Under the privacy rules that apply in New Zealand, you may request access to the data held about you, ask for corrections, or request deletion where appropriate. You can also object to certain processing or withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, simply write to us and we will respond promptly.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be adjusted, for example after changes to the law or to how the portal works. The most important updates always appear on this page, and the version published at the time is the one that applies. We encourage you to review it occasionally so you stay informed about how your data is handled.
