Privacy policy – Kiwibettingsites

An information site about betting providers in New Zealand needs little personal data, and Kiwibettingsites collects only that. The Privacy Act 2020 and its information privacy principles in section 22 are the law that applies.

The responsible agency

The organisation running Kiwibettingsites is the agency responsible for personal information collected through it. Its name, address and e-mail are available at kiwibettingsites.com, which is also the channel for any privacy question.

Information collected

Every page opened leaves a server log entry with the IP address, date and time, the address requested, the amount of data sent, the referring page and the browser type. Logs are kept for security and the detection of abuse, then after 90 days deleted or shortened until they no longer point to anyone. Writing to the editors adds a name, e-mail address and the text of the message, used only to reply. There are no reader accounts, deposits or bets, and payment details and identity documents are not collected.

Purposes and principles

Information is gathered for lawful purposes connected with the site: keeping it running and secure, answering messages and, once a banner choice is made, measuring the audience (IPP 1). People are told what is collected and why (IPP 3), and the information serves only those purposes (IPP 10). Decisions are not automated and profiles are not built.

Providers and disclosure abroad

Information is not sold. Providers of hosting, content delivery and e-mail receive it, as do public authorities where the law requires. A provider may store information outside New Zealand. Disclosure abroad happens only if the receiving provider is under comparable safeguards or the person has been told and agrees, as IPP 12 requires.

Safeguards and retention

Reasonable safeguards protect the information from loss and misuse (IPP 5). It is kept as long as the purpose needs (IPP 9): server logs up to 90 days, correspondence until the matter is closed and for the time needed to deal with possible claims. A notifiable privacy breach, one that has caused or is likely to cause serious harm, is reported to the Privacy Commissioner and to the people affected.

Access and correction

Any person may ask for access to the information held about them (IPP 6) and for its correction (IPP 7). The reply comes as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than 20 working days after the request (section 40).

Complaints

A person who believes their privacy has been breached may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
