Privacy policy – Kiwifreebets
An information site about free bets and betting offers in New Zealand has no need of much personal information, and Kiwifreebets collects only that. The Privacy Act 2020 and its information privacy principles (section 22) are the law that applies.
Responsible agency
The body that runs Kiwifreebets is the agency responsible for the personal information gathered through it. Its name, address and e-mail address are available at kiwifreebets.com, which is also the channel for any privacy question.
What is held
Opening a page makes the server record a log entry with the IP address, date and time, the address requested, the amount of data sent, the referring page and the browser type. These logs serve security and the spotting of abuse; after 90 days they are deleted or shortened so that they no longer point to a person. A message to the editors adds a name, an e-mail address and the text itself, which are used for the reply alone. Accounts, deposits and bets do not exist on the site, so payment details and identity documents are never collected.
Purposes and principles
Information is collected for lawful purposes connected with the running of the site: keeping it working and secure, replying to messages and, after a choice in the cookie banner, measuring audience (IPP 1). People are informed about what is collected and why (IPP 3) and the information is used for those purposes only (IPP 10). No automated decisions are made and no profiling is done.
Providers and transfers abroad
Nothing is sold. Hosting, content delivery and e-mail providers receive information, as do public authorities where the law requires. A provider may keep it outside New Zealand. Disclosure abroad happens only when the recipient is bound by comparable safeguards or the person has been told and agrees, as IPP 12 requires.
Protection and retention
Reasonable safeguards protect the information against loss and misuse (IPP 5). It is kept only for as long as the purpose needs (IPP 9): server logs up to 90 days, correspondence until the matter closes and for the time possible claims need. A notifiable privacy breach, one that has caused or is likely to cause serious harm, is reported to the Privacy Commissioner and the people affected.
Access and correction
Each person may request access to the information held about them (IPP 6) and ask for its correction (IPP 7). The answer comes as soon as reasonably practicable and within 20 working days of the request at the latest (section 40).
Complaints
Anyone who believes their privacy has been breached may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
