Privacy Policy

Personal information we collect

• Account details: name/username, email, password (hashed), and account settings.
• Age-gate information: confirmation of age eligibility (and related technical logs to prevent repeat prompts).
• Analytics & device data: IP address, approximate location (city/region), device/browser info, pages viewed, timestamps, and identifiers (cookies or similar).
• Cookies: essential cookies for site functionality and optional analytics cookies where enabled.
• Support requests: content you submit (messages, attachments), contact details, and troubleshooting information.

Why we collect it (authorised purposes)

We collect and use personal information only where it is necessary for our functions and activities, including to: provide and administer the Site and accounts; apply age-gating; respond to support requests; maintain security and prevent fraud/abuse; understand usage and improve features; and meet legal and regulatory obligations. Where consent is required or appropriate (for example, optional cookies), we will ask for it and you can withdraw it by changing your settings.

Sharing & disclosure

We may share personal information with: (a) service providers who help us operate the Site (hosting, analytics, communications/support tools); (b) professional advisers (legal/accounting) as needed; and (c) authorities where required or permitted by law. We do not sell personal information.

International transfers

Some service providers may store or process information outside New Zealand. When we do this, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is protected in a way that is comparable to New Zealand privacy protections, including contractual safeguards where appropriate.

Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described above, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. We then delete or de-identify it when it is no longer needed.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information (such as access controls, encryption in transit where supported, and logging/monitoring). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
