These providers are contractually obligated to keep your information secure and use it only for the purposes we specify.

6. Storage and Security

Your information is stored securely in digital databases. While we primarily store data in New Zealand, some third-party providers may store data on overseas servers. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas recipients protect your information with safeguards comparable to New Zealand privacy laws.

7. Marketing and Opt-Out

We comply with the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007. We will only send you marketing or campaign emails if you have opted in to receive them. Every email we send includes a clear "unsubscribe" link, and we will process your request to be removed from our list within five working days.
