Privacy Policy

Coastie Websites respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean Coastie Websites. It explains what information we collect through this website, how we use it, and your rights under New Zealand privacy law.

What information we collect

If you contact us through our website, we may collect:

• your name
• your email address
• your telephone number, if you choose to provide it
• the information you include in your message

Why we collect it

We collect this information so we can:

• respond to your enquiry
• contact you about the services you have asked about
• keep a record of enquiries and discussions
• provide our website and services

How we collect it

We collect personal information directly from you when you submit our contact form or contact us by email.

If someone else contacts us on your behalf, or gives us your details because they think you may be interested in our services, we may collect limited personal information from them. Where required by the Privacy Act 2020, we will take reasonable steps to let you know about that collection.

Who we share it with

We only share your personal information where it is needed to run this website or respond to your enquiry.

Our contact form is processed by a third-party form service provider and forwarded to our email. This means your information may be handled by service providers that help us operate the website.

Some service providers may store or process information outside New Zealand. Where this is more than storage or processing on our behalf, we will take reasonable steps to make sure your information is protected in a way that is comparable to New Zealand privacy safeguards, or otherwise handle it as required by the Privacy Act 2020.

We do not sell your personal information.

Storage and security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, or alteration.

However, no website or email system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected, or as required by law.

Your rights

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you can ask to access the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it if you think it is wrong.

Privacy officer

Coastie Websites has a privacy officer responsible for privacy-related questions and requests.
