WHO WE SHARE INFORMATION WITH
We may share information with our staff, related companies, advisers or third parties contracted to us, however personal information will only be shared with our personnel if it is necessary for them to carry out their work for us and to meet your request for goods and services.
We may disclose information about you to law enforcement authorities or other government official:
if we are required to do so by law;
if we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical harm or financial loss; or
in connection with an investigation of suspected fraudulent or illegal activity.
We also reserve the right to disclose personal information we have about you if we sell or transfer all, or a portion of, our business or assets or subsidiaries or related companies. If such a sale or transfer occurs:
we will use reasonable efforts to direct the purchaser to use personal information you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Policy; and
following such a sale or transfer, you may contact the entity to which we transferred your personal information with any enquiries concerning the processing of that information.
Your personal information may be disclosed offshore where this is necessary for us to run our business and provide our services. For example, we may use third party data managers based here or overseas (such as cloud-based database companies). However, your personal information will only be disclosed offshore where we reasonably believe the protections that apply to your information will be as good as the protection that applies in New Zealand, or where we obtain your express permission.
We will not disclose personal information to any other agency or to any other person unless we believe on reasonable grounds that the disclosure of the information is one of the purposes in connection with which the information was obtained or is directly related to one of those purposes, or if we believe another exception under the Privacy Act 2020 applies.

We implement and maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect the personal information you provide against accidental, unlawful or unauthorised destruction, loss, alteration, access, disclosure or use. We use encryption on our websites from which we transfer certain personal information.
We will take reasonable steps to ensure that where we use unique identifiers (i.e. individual numbers, references or other forms of identification in relation to an identifiable individual), the risk of misuse is minimised.
Communications over the internet are not secure unless they have been encrypted. We cannot guarantee the security of any transmission to us by email or our online customer response form.
We only keep your identifiable personal information for as long as and to the extent that we need it to reasonably meet the purposes for which we collect it (as set out in this Privacy Policy).
We may retain any CCTV footage for up to 30 days and will store this footage securely. We only allow authorised personnel to access CCTV footage for legitimate purposes, including the prevention and investigation of alleged criminal activity (subject to the exceptions noted in this Privacy Policy).
When we no longer require your personal information for the reasons outlined above, we will destroy, delete or permanently anonymise it.
