2. What information we collect

We only collect information that is necessary for the purpose it is collected. This may include:

• Contact information — your name, email address and phone number when you submit our contact form.
• Enquiry details — the content of your message and the service you are enquiring about.
• Website usage data — basic technical data such as browser type, pages visited and referring URL, collected automatically when you visit our site.

We do not collect sensitive information (as defined by the Privacy Act 2020), payment card details, or information from children under 16.

3. How we collect information

We collect personal information:

• Directly from you when you complete and submit our contact form.
• Automatically through standard web server logs when you visit our website.
• When you contact us by phone or email directly.

4. Why we collect it — and how we use it

We use your information only for the purposes for which it was collected:

• To respond to your enquiry and provide the services you have requested.
• To communicate with you about your project or account.
• To improve our website and services.

We will not use your personal information for direct marketing without your explicit consent, and we will never sell your information to third parties.

5. Who we share information with

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We may share it only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers — third-party services that help us operate our website (e.g. web hosting providers), who are bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Legal obligations — where we are required to disclose information by law or a court order.

Where practicable, we only share the minimum information necessary.

6. Storage and security

Your information is stored on servers located in New Zealand or Australia via our hosting provider. We take reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including:

• Using HTTPS encryption on our website.
• Restricting access to personal information to authorised personnel only.
• Not retaining contact form data beyond what is needed to respond to your enquiry.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we take these precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Cookies and website analytics

Our website may use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to improve your browsing experience. These are used for functional purposes (e.g. remembering your preferences) and basic analytics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, although some parts of the site may not function as intended if you do so.

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies to profile you across other websites.

8. Links to other websites

Our website contains links to third-party websites (such as client portfolio sites). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any personal information to them.

• Request access to that information.
• Request correction of any information that is inaccurate or out of date.
