We collect this information so that we can pair you with a qualified financial adviser from our partners who can help you with your personal insurance product enquiry by providing quotes and advice (“Service”). 

You have a choice in whether to provide us with your personal information. If you choose not to provide us with your personal information, then we may not be able to provide our Service to you. 

We do not collect credit card or payment details from you.

• To third parties – to protect our rights or rights and/or safety of others, or as may be required by law or regulations.

You can prevent new cookies from being installed and delete existing cookies. The procedure depends on which browser you are using.

3. Disclosure

We may disclose your personal information if we are required or authorised by law.

4. Website

Our Website is hosted on Sitehost. They provide us with an online platform that allows us to promote our services to you.

The contents of the Website are provided for general information purposes only and do not amount to professional advice. Any decision to use our Service on the Website is made by you on the basis of your own enquiries.

5. Third-party services

In general, the third-party providers used by us will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers have their own privacy policies in respect of the information we are required to provide to them to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

Certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction to either you or us. If you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then you consent to your information becoming subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located and which may not require the information to be protected in a way that, overall, provides comparable safeguards to those in the Privacy Act 2020.

For example, if you are located in New Zealand and your transaction is processed by a payment gateway located in the United States, then your personal information used in completing that transaction may be subject to disclosure under United States legislation.

Once you leave our Website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or our Website’s Terms of Service.

When you click on links on our Website, they may direct you away from our site. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy policies.

6. Security

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed. We comply with the New Zealand privacy laws and codes to ensure your personal information is secure.

7. Age of consent

By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state, province or country of residence, or that you are the age of majority in your state, province or country of residence and you have given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependants to use this site.

8. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please review it frequently. Changes and clarifications will take effect immediately upon their posting on the Website. If we make material changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated, so that you are aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

If our Website is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that we may continue to promote or sell products or services to you.
