Privacy policy – Nzlivebetting
Running an information site about live and mobile betting takes very little personal information, and Nzlivebetting collects only that. The governing law is the Privacy Act 2020 and its information privacy principles (section 22).
The responsible agency
The agency responsible for personal information collected through Nzlivebetting is the body running the site. Its name, address and e-mail are available at livebettingnz.com, and the same channel handles every question about personal information.
Information collected
Whenever a page is opened, the server writes 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 support security and the detection of abuse, and after 90 days they are deleted or shortened until they no longer identify anyone. A person writing to the editors also supplies a name, an e-mail address and the message, used solely to reply. As the site has no reader accounts, no deposits and no bets, no payment details or identity documents are collected.
Why, and on what principles
Collection serves lawful purposes tied to the site: keeping it running and secure, replying to messages and, after a choice in the cookie banner, measuring the audience (IPP 1). People are told what is collected and why (IPP 3), and use is limited to those purposes (IPP 10). Neither automated decision-making nor profiling takes place.
Providers and disclosure abroad
Nothing is sold. Information goes to the providers who host the site, deliver its content and handle e-mail, and to public authorities where the law demands it. Where a provider holds information outside New Zealand, disclosure abroad happens only if the recipient is bound by comparable safeguards or the person has been told and agrees, as IPP 12 requires.
Security and keeping
Reasonable safeguards guard the information against loss and misuse (IPP 5). It is retained only while its purpose lasts (IPP 9): server logs up to 90 days, correspondence until the matter is closed and for the time needed to meet possible claims. A notifiable privacy breach, one that has caused or is likely to cause serious harm, is reported to the Privacy Commissioner and to those affected.
Access and correction
Anyone may ask to see the information held about them (IPP 6) and to have it corrected (IPP 7). The answer comes as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than 20 working days after the request is received (section 40).
Complaints
A person who believes their privacy has been breached can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
