This notice describes the directory's approach to personal information. For a question, access request or correction, use the directory contact.
Browsing and search
Directory search matches a static index in your browser. The directory does not require an account and does not use advertising trackers or automatic location requests. Theme preferences can be stored on your device. You can remove stored preferences through your browser's site-data settings.
When you submit a query to an external search provider or follow an external link, the destination receives your request and applies its own privacy practices. Do not include private information in an external search query.
Technical data and correspondence
Delivering a page involves technical information such as the requested address, connection information and browser details. Information processed to deliver and protect the service must be limited to its necessary purpose. A static page does not mean that no technical data is processed.
If you contact us, we receive the email address, message and attachments you send, together with any name you provide. We use this information to consider your request, handle a report and respond where appropriate. Please do not send passwords, identity documents, payment-card details, medical records or unnecessary information about another person.
Directory information and safeguards
Directory entries concern websites, organisations and their services. We prefer organisational information and avoid unnecessary personal contact details. Public availability does not remove the need for a proper purpose, appropriate handling and any notification required by applicable law.
Personal information must be protected, used only for a proper purpose and retained only as long as necessary for that purpose or a legal obligation. We do not sell personal information. A request to correct information does not automatically require deletion of a record that must lawfully be retained.
Your requests
You may ask for access to or correction of personal information, or raise a privacy concern. We may need proportionate information to identify the relevant record. If New Zealand privacy law applies and a concern remains unresolved, information about complaints is available from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
