Privacy Policy
MaoriSpins collects, processes and stores personal information as outlined in this privacy policy, along with details of your rights regarding that data. We're committed to privacy: we gather only what's essential to operate the site and address your enquiries.
1. Who we are

2. Privacy contact
The MaoriSpins team is jointly responsible for privacy. You can reach us by email at [email protected]. Our usual response time is 1–5 business days.
3. What we collect
I need the original paragraph you'd like me to rewrite. You've shown me the instruction set, but the "ORIGINAL:" section appears incomplete—it ends with "three categories:" without the actual content that follows. Could you provide the full paragraph you want rewritten? Once you do, I'll deliver a 17–23 word en-NZ version with varied sentence structure while preserving all facts and proper nouns.
3.1 Contact form submissions
When you send us a message through the contact form or by email, we receive:
- the name you have given us;
- your email address;
- the content of your message.
3.2 Technical server logs
For the site to operate, our server may temporarily log:
- your IP address in a shortened form;
- the browser type and version;
- your operating system;
- the time of the visit and the page you viewed.
We retain this data for no longer than 14 days for security purposes and do not connect it to any identifying personal information.
3.3 Cookies
We employ strictly necessary cookies to keep the site functioning—for instance, to recall your cookie consent preference. Should you separately accept analytics or marketing cookies, certain third parties may set some of these. See the Cookie Policy page for detail.
4. Purposes and lawful basis for processing
We process personal information for the following purposes and on the following bases under New Zealand’s Privacy Act 2020 and the OPC’s Information Privacy Principles (IPPs):
- Responding to your enquiries: we process the information you provide so we can reply to your message (IPP 1, IPP 10).
- **Site operation:** server logs are processed to maintain the security and integrity of the site (legitimate interest, IPP 5).
- Optional cookies: analytics and marketing cookies are deployed only with your explicit consent (IPP 3, IPP 10).
- Legal compliance: we may process information to satisfy a statutory obligation or court order (IPP 11).
5. Retention
- Contact messages: we keep these for a maximum of 12 months, unless ongoing correspondence means we need to retain them longer.
- Server logs: no more than 14 days.
- Cookies: cookie-specific retention, no more than 12 months. Details on the Cookie Policy page.
Information that is no longer needed is deleted or anonymised at the end of its retention period.
6. Who can access your information
MaoriSpins does not sell personal information to third parties. Information may be shared or processed in these situations:
- hosting partners and technical contractors (processors) who act on our written instructions;
- government agencies if required by law.
7. Cross-border transfers
The site’s primary technical environment is in Australia/New Zealand. If information is transferred outside New Zealand (for example to a US service provider), the transfer takes place only with safeguards consistent with IPP 12 — contractual protections that ensure comparable privacy standards to those required by the Privacy Act 2020.
8. Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020 you have the following rights:
- **Access (IPP 6):** the right to find out whether we hold personal information about you and to receive a copy.
- **Correction (IPP 7):** the right to have inaccurate information corrected.
- **Erasure:** in specific circumstances, your right to request removal of your personal data.
- **Restriction:** in certain circumstances, the ability to request that we limit how we process your data.
- Portability: the right to receive your information in a structured, machine-readable format.
- **Objection:** the right to object to processing based on legitimate interest.
- Withdrawal of consent: if processing is based on your consent (for example, cookies), you may withdraw it at any time.
Requests can be sent by email to [email protected]. We will respond within 20 working days at the latest.
9. Complaints to the regulator
If you believe we have not handled your information in accordance with the law, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner:
- Office of the Privacy Commissioner: privacy.org.nz
- Post: PO Box 10094, Wellington 6143
- Phone: 0800 803 909
10. Security
The site employs HTTPS encryption to protect your data. Personal information remains restricted to staff requiring it operationally, with regular security updates and rigorous protocols maintained throughout our systems.
11. Children
MaoriSpins is exclusively for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly gather data from minors. Should a parent or guardian identify that a child has provided information, we encourage you to contact us, and we will remove it promptly.
12. Changes to this policy
We'll update this policy if our practices or legislation change. Significant amendments will be noted on the site, and you'll always find the most recent update date at the top of this page.
In short: we collect as little as possible, we don’t sell information, you have clear rights that we respect. Requests: [email protected].
