Auckland.kiwi (“we”, “our” or “us”) is a New Zealand based travel and lifestyle website operated by an individual publisher located in Auckland New Zealand. We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 and its 13 privacy principles.
| Source | Data collected | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Contact page / email | Name, email address, any details you include in your message | To respond to enquiries and provide requested information or assistance. |
| Server logs | IP address, browser type, pages visited, date & time | To ensure site security, diagnose faults, and compile aggregate statistics. |
| Cookies (see section 4) | Anonymous identifiers | Site analytics, remembering preferences, and affiliate tracking. |
We do not currently run user accounts, newsletters, comments, or payment processing, and we do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information.
We use personal information only for the purposes listed above. We do not sell or rent your data. Information is shared only:
All providers we use must meet reasonable security standards and cannot use your data for their own marketing.
Our site uses first-party cookies for basic analytics and to remember user preferences. In addition, when you click a tour link that redirects to Viator.com, Viator places an affiliate tracking cookie so any booking you make within that window can be attributed to Auckland.kiwi. These cookies do not reveal your identity to us. You can disable cookies in your browser, though some functionality may be affected.
Auckland.kiwi features tours provided through Viator. When you follow those links you leave our domain; any personal information you provide to Viator is governed by Viator’s own privacy policy and terms. We encourage you to read those policies before booking.
Personal information is stored on secure servers located in New Zealand and/or Australia administered by our hosting provider. We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures—including HTTPS, server hardening, and access controls—to protect data from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access.
We retain enquiry emails and server logs only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined or to meet legal obligations, after which they are securely deleted.
You have the right to:
To exercise these rights, or if you have any privacy question or complaint, please contact us (section 9). We will respond within 20 working days as required by law.
While we are a New Zealand site, overseas visitors—especially from the EEA or UK—may enjoy equivalent rights under the GDPR. We rely on your consent (clicking affiliate links) or our legitimate interest (site analytics and security) as the legal basis for any processing of EU/UK personal data.
For any privacy enquiry, please submit a message via our secure contact form at https://www.auckland.kiwi/contact. Messages sent through this form are routed directly to our support team and we will aim to respond as soon as possible.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices or legal obligations. The “Last updated” date at the top indicates the most recent revision. Continued use of Auckland.kiwi after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
By using this site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
