4. Third-Party Services

We partner with trusted third-party providers (Tallyform, Mailchimp, Humanitix, Squarespace, Stripe) to support our operations. Each of these providers has their own privacy policies and security measures.

We collect and verify government-issued ID to ensure safety and authenticity. This information is deleted after use.

8. Cookies and Analytics

We use cookies to analyze website traffic and improve your experience. Cookies do not collect personally identifiable information but help us understand how our site is used.

9. International Data Transfers

Some of your data may be stored or processed on servers outside New Zealand by our third-party providers. We ensure these transfers comply with New Zealand privacy laws and that your data remains protected.

10. Your Rights and Choices

You can unsubscribe from our marketing communications at any time via the unsubscribe link in emails or by contacting us directly. You also have the right to request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information.

11. Data Breach Notification

In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will promptly notify affected individuals and take all necessary steps to mitigate risks, in compliance with New Zealand privacy regulations.
