  2. NZCMS is com­mit­ted to ensur­ing that your privacy is pro­tec­ted. Should we ask you to provide certain inform­a­tion by which you can be iden­ti­fied when using this website you can be assured that it will only be used in accord­ance with this privacy statement.
  3. NZCMS may change this policy from time to time by updat­ing this page.

2. What will you collect

We may collect, store, and use the fol­low­ing kinds of per­sonal data:

    1. Inform­a­tion about your com­puter and any visits you make to the website (includ­ing IP address, browser type, refer­ral source, and number of page views etc.). This inform­a­tion is not con­nec­ted to you per­son­ally and only used for ana­lyt­ics purposes.

       

    2. Inform­a­tion on any trans­ac­tions you make with us, includ­ing any dona­tions or payment, amount­ing to name, address, credit card or banking details and amount.

3. Children’s online policy

We are con­cerned about the privacy of young chil­dren and do not know­ingly collect any per­sonal inform­a­tion from a child under 13. We encour­age you to become involved with your child’s access to the Inter­net and to our site in order to ensure that his or her privacy is well protected.

4. What we do with the information we gather

We require this inform­a­tion to under­stand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in par­tic­u­lar for the fol­low­ing reasons:

    1. To provide inform­a­tion or resource you spe­cific­ally request
    2. To provide a per­son­al­ised service, such as cus­tom­ised website content or per­son­al­ised emails
    3. To keep records of your rela­tion­ship with us e.g., feed­back you have given, post com­ments, or com­plaints you have made
    4. To process dona­tions you give us
    5. To improve our products and services
    6. The anonymous/​analytics inform­a­tion we collect about your com­puter may be used for market research and stat­istic gath­er­ing pur­poses from time to time

5. Security

  1. We are com­mit­ted to ensur­ing that your inform­a­tion is secure. In order to prevent unau­thor­ised access or dis­clos­ure we have put in place suit­able phys­ical, elec­tronic and mana­gerial pro­ced­ures to safe­guard and secure the inform­a­tion we collect. The inter­net cannot be guar­an­teed to be 100 per cent secure, and there is always a risk when you submit data. Nev­er­the­less, we have done all we can to protect your data in full com­pli­ance with best practice. 
  2. For all credit/​debit card trans­ac­tions you are trans­ferred to our third party payment pro­vider, Stripe. Their privacy policies can be found here.

6. How we use cookies

  1. A cookie is a small file which asks per­mis­sion to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyse web traffic or lets you know when you visit a par­tic­u­lar site. Cookies allow web applic­a­tions to respond to you as an indi­vidual. The web applic­a­tion can tailor its oper­a­tions to your needs, likes and dis­likes by gath­er­ing and remem­ber­ing inform­a­tion about your preferences. 
  2. We use traffic log cookies to identify which pages are being used. This helps us analyse data about web page traffic and improve our web site in order to tailor it to cus­tomer needs. We only use this inform­a­tion for stat­ist­ical ana­lysis purposes. 
  3. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better web site, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your com­puter or any inform­a­tion about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. 
  4. You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers auto­mat­ic­ally accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. This may prevent you from taking full advant­age of the web site.

7. Links to other sites

  1. Our web site con­tains links to enable you to visit other web sites of interest easily. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other web site. There­fore, we cannot be respons­ible for the pro­tec­tion and privacy of any inform­a­tion which you provide whilst vis­it­ing such sites and such sites are not gov­erned by this privacy state­ment. You should exer­cise caution and look at the privacy state­ment applic­able to the web site in question.

8. Controlling your information

  1. If you have pre­vi­ously agreed to us using your per­sonal inform­a­tion, you may change your mind at any time by con­tact­ing us at office@​nzcms.​org.​nz

  2. We will not sell, dis­trib­ute, lease or oth­er­wise share your per­sonal inform­a­tion with third parties unless we are required to do so by law.
