Introduction
Marley Perkins Education Limited (we, us, our) complies with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 (the Act) when dealing with personal information. Personal information is information about an identifiable individual (a natural person).
This policy sets out how we will collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information.
This policy does not limit or exclude any of your rights under the Act. If you wish to seek further information on the Act, see Privacy Act 2020.
Changes to this policy
We may change this policy by uploading a revised policy onto the website. The change will apply from the date that we upload the revised policy.
Who we collect your personal information from
We collect personal information about you from:
- you, when you provide that personal information to us, including via the website and any related service, through any registration or subscription process, through any contact with us (e.g. telephone call or online form), or when you buy or use our services and products
- third parties where you have authorised this or the information is publicly available.
If possible, we will collect personal information from you directly. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 without parental consent.
How we use your personal information
We will use your personal information:
- to verify your identity to provide services and products to you
- to market our services and products to you, including contacting you electronically (e.g. by email, if you consent)
- to improve the services and products that we provide to you
- to bill you and to collect money that you owe us, including authorising and processing credit card transactions
- to respond to communications from you, including complaints
- to conduct research and statistical analysis (on an anonymised basis)
- to protect and/or enforce our legal rights and interests, including defending any claim
- for any other purpose authorised by you or the Act.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
Disclosing your personal information
We may disclose your personal information to:
- another company within our group
- any business that supports our services and products, including any person that hosts or maintains any underlying IT system or data centre that we use to provide the website or other services and products
- a person who can require us to supply your personal information (e.g. a regulatory authority)
- any other person authorised by the Act or another law (e.g. a law enforcement agency)
- any other person authorised by you.
A business that supports our services and products may be located outside New Zealand. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any personal information processed overseas is protected in a manner comparable to the Act.
We use MailerLite to manage our email marketing subscriber lists and to send emails to our subscribers. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link provided in each newsletter. You may also opt out of all marketing communications by contacting us through the website.
We may transfer your information in the case of a sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation, reorganisation or acquisition.
Protecting your personal information
We take reasonable steps to keep your personal information safe from loss, unauthorised access, use, modification, or disclosure. These steps include:
- storing personal information on secure servers
- using secure connections (HTTPS) when collecting information online
- restricting access to personal information to staff or service providers who need it to perform their duties
- using industry-standard security measures when processing data through third-party providers.
Despite these steps, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Accessing and correcting your personal information
Subject to certain grounds for refusal set out in the Act, you have the right to access your readily retrievable personal information that we hold and to request a correction. Before exercising this right, we will need evidence to confirm that you are the individual to whom the personal information relates.
If we think a requested correction is reasonable and we are reasonably able to change the personal information, we will make the correction. If we do not make the correction, we will take reasonable steps to note on the personal information that you requested the correction.
If you want to exercise either of these rights, contact us through the website. Your message should provide evidence of who you are and set out the details of your request.
We may charge you our reasonable costs for providing copies of your personal information or making corrections.
Internet use
While we take reasonable steps to maintain secure internet connections, if you provide personal information over the internet, you do so at your own risk.
If you follow a link on our website to another site, that site has its own privacy policy. We suggest you review that policy before providing personal information.
Cookies and Google Analytics
We do not use cookies on this website. The only exception is Google Analytics 4, which collects anonymous information about how visitors use the site (pages visited, time on page, device type, approximate location) to help us improve our website. No personal information is collected, and IP addresses are anonymised. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
.Tracking Downloads
When visitors download the Marley Perkins calendar, we record an approximate location (such as city or region) based on their internet connection. This is used only to understand where our calendar is being accessed. No exact addresses or personal details are collected.
Reviews and comments
If you leave a review or other comment visible to readers, we may use and post it without restriction and free of charge on our website or other marketing material. You may request deletion by contacting us through the website.
