Privacy policy – Kiwirugbybetting
Little personal information is needed to publish rugby and betting content for readers in New Zealand, and Kiwirugbybetting takes no more than that. The Privacy Act 2020 and its information privacy principles (section 22) apply.
Responsible agency
The body that runs Kiwirugbybetting is the agency responsible for the personal information it collects. Its name, address and e-mail address are at kiwirugbybetting.com, which is where any question about personal information should go.
What the site holds
A log entry is written by the server each time a page is requested: IP address, date and time, the address asked for, the amount of data sent, the referring page and the kind of browser. These serve security and the spotting of abuse, and are deleted after 90 days or reduced until no person can be traced from them. A message to the editors brings a name, e-mail address and the text itself, used for the reply and nothing else. With no reader accounts, deposits or bets, payment details and identity documents are not collected.
Purposes and principles
Purposes are lawful and linked to running the site: working order and safety, replies to messages, and, once the cookie banner choice allows, audience measurement (IPP 1). People are told what is gathered and why (IPP 3), and use is confined to those purposes (IPP 10). Automated decisions and profiling do not happen.
Providers and disclosure abroad
The information is not sold. Providers of hosting, content delivery and e-mail see some of it, and public authorities do where the law demands. Where a provider holds it outside New Zealand, disclosure takes place only if the recipient is bound by comparable safeguards or the person has been told and agrees, in line with IPP 12.
Security and keeping
Loss and misuse are guarded against by reasonable safeguards (IPP 5). Information is held for as long as its purpose calls for (IPP 9): up to 90 days for server logs, and for correspondence until the matter ends plus the period needed to handle a claim. A notifiable privacy breach, which has caused or is likely to cause serious harm, goes to the Privacy Commissioner and to those affected.
Access and correction
A person can ask to see what is held about them (IPP 6) and ask for corrections (IPP 7). An answer follows as soon as reasonably practicable, and within 20 working days of receipt at the latest (section 40).
Complaints
Anyone who thinks their privacy has been breached can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
