Privacy Policy

By Kahu Rewiti· Last updated 14 July 2026

1. Introduction

This policy explains how Tipu (tipu.org.nz) handles personal information, in line with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its 13 Information Privacy Principles.

2. What we collect

We collect minimal data: information you volunteer (e.g. when you email us or use a contact form) and standard analytics (pages visited, device/browser, approximate location, referring site) via cookies.

3. How we use it

To respond to enquiries, understand and improve the site, and measure the performance of the operators we feature. We do not sell your personal information.

4. Cookies & analytics

We use cookies and analytics tools. See our Cookie Policy. You can control cookies in your browser settings.

5. Affiliate tracking

When you click through to an operator, a click identifier may be passed so the operator can attribute the referral. This does not identify you personally to us.

6. Sharing

We share data only with service providers who help us run the site (e.g. hosting, analytics), under confidentiality obligations, or where required by law.

7. Storage & security

We take reasonable steps to protect information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access. Data may be stored with providers outside NZ, subject to comparable protections.

8. Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020 you may request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you. Email [email protected].

9. Complaints

If you're not satisfied, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.

10. Changes

We may update this policy; the latest version always lives here. Last updated 14 July 2026.
