Your personal information is transferred to our third-party service providers in overseas countries. By providing your personal information to us, you acknowledge that some third party service providers may be located in countries which do not have the same level of privacy laws as New Zealand and you consent to the transfer of your personal information in these circumstances.

If you wish to access or change your personal information, we may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity and for security purposes, in particular before disclosing personal information to you.

You can access your information by emailing us at [email protected] Subject to legal and other permissible considerations, we will make every reasonable effort to respond to your request promptly or inform you if we require further information in order to fulfil your request.

We may not always be able to fully address your request, for example if it would impact the duty of confidentiality we owe to others, or if we are legally entitled to deal with the request in a different way.

Please contact us at [email protected] if you would like to access your information, and we will comply with any request to the extent required under applicable law.
