Privacy Policy

Scope and NZ legal context

This policy describes how Squixelldhor handles personal information under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and related Information Privacy Principles (IPPs). Information is collected only for stated purposes.

Data we collect

• Contact form data: name, email, message, and consent confirmation.
• Basic technical metadata: browser type, approximate region, and consented preference settings.

Purposes of processing

• Replying to requests and maintaining communication records.
• Maintaining security, abuse prevention, and technical continuity.
• Improving usability using aggregated, non-identifying analytics where consent exists.

Legal basis and consent

Information is processed where necessary for communication and legitimate website operation. Optional cookies rely on explicit user consent and can be withdrawn through cookie settings.

Retention periods

Contact requests are retained for up to 12 months unless legal obligations require longer retention. Cookie consent logs are retained for up to 24 months.

Your rights under the Privacy Act 2020

You may request access to and correction of your personal information. You may also request deletion where data is no longer required, and withdraw optional cookie consent at any time.

Cross-border disclosure

If service providers process technical data outside New Zealand, we take reasonable steps to confirm comparable privacy safeguards before disclosure.

Complaints

If you have concerns, contact us first so we can investigate. If unresolved, you may contact New Zealand's Office of the Privacy Commissioner.

Data protection measures

We apply HTTPS transport encryption, access control for administrative tools, and periodic review of stored records. No method is fully risk-free, but safeguards are continuously maintained.
