Information we collect
We may collect information you provide directly, including:
- Name, email address, phone number, and business name
- Messages sent through contact forms, quote requests, or email
- Newsletter or audit sign-up details (if you subscribe)
- Billing and project information when you become a client
We may also collect technical information automatically when you visit our website, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, and referring URL — typically through standard website logs, cookies, or analytics tools used to improve the site.
How we use information
We use personal information to:
- Respond to enquiries and provide quotes or services you request
- Deliver web design, SEO, photography, videography, and support work
- Send service-related communications (not marketing without consent)
- Improve our website, security, and user experience
- Meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations
Forms, email, and third-party services
Our site may use WordPress plugins and third-party providers (for example form builders, email delivery, hosting, security, and analytics). Information you submit through a form may be processed by those providers on our behalf. We choose reputable providers and use them only for legitimate business purposes.
Our website is hosted in New Zealand and/or with providers that may store data in other countries. By using our site, you acknowledge that data may be processed outside New Zealand where those providers operate.
Cookies
We may use cookies and similar technologies for essential site function, performance, and analytics. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site features.
Photography and videography
When we provide media services, we may capture images or video that include identifiable people or private property. We use such material only as agreed in our project scope or contract (for example your website, marketing, or portfolio with permission). If you are photographed at a public event, separate event notices may apply.
Retention and security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. We take reasonable steps to protect information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. No online system is completely secure.
Your rights
Under New Zealand privacy law, you may request access to or correction of personal information we hold about you. You may ask us to delete information where we are not required to retain it. Contact us at [email protected].
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner: privacy.org.nz.
Links to other websites
Our site links to client and partner sites (for example community or charity projects we have built). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external websites.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top will change. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
