Privacy Policy
Effective date: 25 March 2026. This policy explains how TheKiwiSpin.com ("we", "us") collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.
Personal information we collect
- Account details: username, email, password hash, preferences, support messages.
- Age-gate attestations: confirmation that you meet minimum age requirements; we may store the date/time and method of attestation.
- Device & analytics identifiers: IP address, device/browser info, cookies or similar identifiers, approximate location (derived from IP), event logs.
- Purchase records (if applicable): transaction IDs, items, amounts, timestamps, and limited payment details provided by payment providers (we do not aim to store full card numbers).
Why we collect it & how we use it
- Provide and operate the site and your account.
- Verify eligibility/age-gate compliance and enforce our terms.
- Process orders, deliver services, and provide customer support.
- Security, fraud/abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and auditing.
- Analytics to understand usage and improve performance and content.
- Legal compliance and responding to lawful requests.
Sharing & disclosures
We share personal information only as needed with service providers acting on our instructions ("processors"), such as hosting, analytics, customer support tools, email delivery, payment processing, and security/fraud services. We may also disclose information to comply with law, protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transaction (e.g., merger) where permitted.
International transfers
Some providers may process or store information outside New Zealand. Where we transfer personal information overseas, we take steps required by the Privacy Act 2020 to ensure comparable safeguards apply (for example, contractual protections and due diligence of providers).
Retention
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, including legal, accounting, dispute resolution, and security needs. Retention periods vary by data type (e.g., account data while active; transaction records as required by law; logs for shorter periods unless needed for investigations).
Security
We use reasonable safeguards (such as access controls, encryption in transit where available, monitoring, and least-privilege practices). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Your rights (NZ Privacy Act 2020)
- Request access to personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of your personal information (and ask us to attach a statement if we do not make a correction).
- Make a complaint to us and, if unresolved, to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (privacy.org.nz).
