We comply with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 (the Act) when dealing with personal information.  Personal information is information about an identifiable individual (a natural person).  This policy does not limit or exclude any of your rights under the Act.  If you wish to seek further information on the Act, see www.privacy.org.nz.

If you have any questions or concerns about our policy, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at hello@kiwi.engineering.

We may change this policy by uploading a revised policy onto the Website.  The change will apply from the date that we upload the revised policy.

Who do we collect your personal information from

• third parties where you have authorised this or the information is publicly available.  

If possible, we will collect personal information from you directly.   

How we use your personal information

We will use your personal information

• to verify your identity

• to provide the App to you, including

  • facilitating account creation and logon process

  • manage user accounts to keep them in working order

• to send administrative information to you

• to market the App to you, including contacting you electronically (e.g. by text or email for this purpose) 

• to improve the App

• to respond to communications from you, including a complaint

• to conduct research and statistical analysis (on an anonymised basis)

Disclosing your personal information

We may disclose your personal information to:

• any other person authorised by you, including other users of the App, in accordance with our terms of use

A business that supports the App, and other users of the App, may be located outside New Zealand.  This may mean your personal information is held and processed, or disclosed to a person, entity or business outside New Zealand.

 

Protecting your personal information

We will take reasonable steps to keep your personal information safe from loss, unauthorised activity, or other misuse.

 

Accessing and correcting your personal information

Subject to certain grounds for refusal set out in the Act, you have the right to access your readily retrievable personal information that we hold and to request a correction to your personal information.  Before you exercise this right, we will need evidence to confirm that you are the individual to whom the personal information relates.

In respect of a request for correction, if we think the correction is reasonable and we are reasonably able to change the personal information, we will make the correction.  If we do not make the correction, we will take reasonable steps to note on the personal information that you requested the correction.

If you want to exercise either of the above rights, email us at hello@kiwi.engieering.  Your email should provide evidence of who you are and set out the details of your request (e.g. the personal information, or the correction, that you are requesting).

We may charge you our reasonable costs of providing to you copies of your personal information or correcting that information.

 

Internet use

While we take reasonable steps to maintain secure internet connections, if you provide us with personal information over the internet, the provision of that information is at your own risk.

If you post your personal information on the App, you acknowledge and agree that the information you post is publicly available.

If you follow a link on our website to another site, the owner of that site will have its own privacy policy relating to your personal information.  We suggest you review that site’s privacy policy before you provide personal information.

We use cookies (an alphanumeric identifier that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive so that we can recognise your browser) to monitor your use of the website.  You may disable cookies by changing the settings on your browser, although this may mean that you cannot use all of the features of the website.
