3. How We Collect Information
We collect personal information:
- Directly from you when you complete the contact form, email us, call us, or register interest in events.
- Automatically through cookies, server logs, and similar technologies when you browse the site.
- From embedded third-party services (such as Google Maps on our contact page), which may collect data under their own policies.
We collect information in a lawful, fair, and reasonably unobtrusive manner, consistent with IPP 4 of the Privacy Act 2020. Where collection is not required to use the site, we will indicate this at the point of collection.
4. Purposes of Collection and Use
We collect and use personal information only for purposes that are connected to our functions and that you would reasonably expect, including:
- Responding to inquiries and event registration requests.
- Operating, maintaining, and securing the website.
- Understanding website usage through analytics (only with your cookie consent).
- Complying with legal obligations in New Zealand and other applicable jurisdictions.
- Defending or exercising our legal rights where necessary.
- Sending optional marketing updates about articles or events, only if you opted in on the contact form.
We will not use your personal information for a new purpose incompatible with the original purpose without notifying you, unless permitted by the Privacy Act 2020.
5. Legal Bases (GDPR Visitors)
If you are in the EEA, our legal bases include: consent (contact form, non-essential cookies), legitimate interests (site security and basic operation), and legal obligation where applicable.
6. Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not sell personal information. We may disclose information to:
- Service providers who assist with hosting, email delivery, or analytics (only when you consent to non-essential cookies).
- Advertising partners such as Google (Google Ads, Google Analytics if enabled) when you consent to analytics or marketing cookies — for site measurement and advertising performance. Data is processed under their policies and applicable contractual safeguards.
- Professional advisers such as lawyers or accountants, under confidentiality obligations.
- Government agencies or courts when required by New Zealand law, court order, or to protect rights and safety.
Some providers may be located outside New Zealand. Under IPP 12, before disclosing personal information overseas we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient protects the information to a standard comparable to the Privacy Act 2020, or we obtain your authorisation. This may include contractual safeguards or using providers in jurisdictions recognised as providing comparable protection.
7. Data Retention

- Financial or legal records: as required under New Zealand tax and record-keeping laws.
When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or de-identify it (IPP 9).
8. Security
We protect personal information using reasonable safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the data, including HTTPS encryption, access controls, secure hosting, and limiting staff access to those who need it (IPP 5). No online system is completely secure; please protect your own devices and accounts.
9. Notifiable Privacy Breaches
Under the Privacy Act 2020, if a privacy breach causes or is likely to cause serious harm, we will notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals as soon as practicable, in line with New Zealand notifiable breach requirements.

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:
- Access personal information we hold about you (IPP 6).
- Request correction of inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information (IPP 7).
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent (without affecting prior lawful use).
- Complain to us or to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner if you believe we have interfered with your privacy.
To make an access or correction request, email reach@eliminatenew.world with the subject line "Privacy Request", include enough detail to identify you, and specify what information you are seeking or correcting. We will respond within a reasonable period, generally within 20 working days. We may need to verify your identity before releasing information.
If we refuse access or correction, we will explain the reasons and inform you of your right to complain to the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz or 0800 803 909 (New Zealand).
11. Your Rights — EEA (GDPR)
If GDPR applies, you may also have the right to erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and to object to certain processing. You may lodge a complaint with your local EU supervisory authority. Contact us first so we can try to resolve your concern.
12. Marketing and Electronic Messages
We do not send commercial electronic messages without your consent, in accordance with the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 (New Zealand). Replying to a contact inquiry does not automatically subscribe you to marketing. You may opt out of any optional communications at any time using the unsubscribe method provided or by emailing us.
13. Children
This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16 without appropriate parental or guardian consent. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
