The purpose of this privacy statement is to let Te Māngai Pāho website visitors know when we may collect personal information and what we may do with it. We do not use, share or disclose personal information collected or received through this website except as set out in this statement.
You can use this website without disclosing any personal information.
When voluntarily providing personal information through this website (e.g. in the feedback form, when subscribing to our newsletters, or by filling in surveys), this information may be viewable by website administrators, Te Māngai Pāho staff (as appropriate) and third-party contractors who may work on the website.
When you subscribe to one of our alerts or newsletters, or fill out a survey, the details you provide may be stored in a secure third-party database (e.g. Campaign Monitor or SurveyMonkey). You will be asked to provide your name and email address so we can send you future electronic newsletters. When you unsubscribe to our alert or newsletter, your details will be deleted from the database.
Te Māngai Pāho may ask or require you to provide some personal information when you complete an online form (e.g. an application for funding, the website feedback form, or when subscribing to news or updates, or an online survey).
When you provide personal information, unless otherwise indicated it will be held by Te Māngai Pāho. It may be stored or accessed on behalf of Te Māngai Pāho by authorised third parties (such as third-party contractors) to the extent that is necessary, for example for them to administrate or work on the website. We will store and keep your personal information secure in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 and any agents will be subject to our information security and privacy requirements.
Use of personal information
Te Māngai Pāho will only use personal information provided to us through this website for the purpose you provided it (e.g. to administer, evaluate and improve the website, to improve our services, or to action or respond to the information provided). We may also use personal information provided to us through this website for other reasons permitted under the Privacy Act (e.g. with your consent, for a directly related purpose, or where the law permits or requires it).
Disclosure of information
Te Māngai Pāho will not share personal information that is provided or collected through this website, unless it is necessary to do so for the purpose for which you gave us the information (e.g. to investigate a complaint) or where you consent. Te Māngai Pāho will not otherwise disclose personal information provided or collected through this website unless required or otherwise permitted by law.
Public records
Where any information provided (which may include personal information) to or through this website constitute public records, it will be retained to the extent required by the Public Records Act 2005.
Te Māngai Pāho may also be required to disclose information under the Official Information Act 1982 or to a Parliamentary Select Committee or Parliament in response to a Parliamentary Question.
Rights of access and correction
You have the right to:
- find out from us whether we hold personal information about you
- access that information; and, if applicable
- request corrections to that information
If Te Māngai Pāho has a good reason for refusing a request for correction, you are entitled to request that a statement be attached to the information of the correction that was sought but not made.
