Privacy Policy (New Zealand)

This policy sets out the basis on which any personal data Tsunami-Warn.com Limited ("us" or "we") collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be used and collected by us. Capitalised words in this Privacy Policy have the same meaning as in the Terms of Use.

How we use information we collect

We may collect and hold information relating to you (for example your contact details and other personal information) that you have provided to us or that we may have obtained from another source. You agree that we may use your information for the purposes of:

1. maintaining your account;
2. providing you with Alerts and other Services;
3. dealing with requests, complaints and other customer related activities, market and services analysis;
4. providing you with promotional material on our other services and special offers; and
5. ensuring that content from our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer.

When accessing our site, Tsunami-Warn.com Limited will learn certain information about you during your visit. How we will handle information we learn about you depends upon what you do when visiting our site. If you visit our site to read information on our pages, we collect and store only the following information.

1. The name of the domain from which you access the Internet;
2. The date and time you access our site;
3. The Internet address of the website you used to link directly to our site.
4. If you identify yourself by sending us an e-mail containing personal information, then the information collected will be solely used to respond to your message.

The information collected is for statistical purposes. Tsunami-Warn.com Limited may use software programs to create summary statistics, which are used for such purposes as assessing the number of visitors to the different sections of our site, what information is of most and least interest, determining technical design specifications, and identifying system performance or problem areas. For site security purposes and to ensure that this service remains available to all users, Tsunami-Warn.com Limited uses software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

Tsunami-Warn.com Limited will not obtain personally-identifying information about you when you visit our site, unless you choose to provide such information to us, nor will such information be sold or otherwise transferred to unaffiliated third parties without the approval of the user at the time of collection. We may gather more extensive information if we are concerned, for example, about security issues. If we think it is necessary, we may disclose this information to relevant law enforcement authorities.

Where we store your personal data

We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site by you; therefore any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

External sites

This site may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this site.

Your rights

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data for marketing purposes. We will inform you (before collecting your data) if we intend to use your data for such purposes or if we intend to disclose your information to any third party for such purposes. You also have the right to ask us not to contact you about Service updates. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by checking certain "opt out" boxes on the forms we use to collect your data. You can also exercise the right at any time by contacting us at complaint@tsunami-warn.com.

Access to information

The Privacy Act 1993 (if you are in New Zealand) gives you the right to access information held about you so that you can update or correct it. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the Act. Any access request may be subject to a fee to meet our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.

Changes to our privacy policy

Any changes we may make to our privacy policy in the future will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, notified to you by e-mail. We encourage you to regularly check this page.
