We may update this statement from time to time and encourage you to review it periodically.

How do we collect personal information?
We will collect personal information:
- from you directly (e.g. when you provide your details to us) or indirectly (e.g. through emails, social media, meetings, interviews, our website);
- from third parties in some instances, for example:
- we may use third parties to analyse traffic at our website, which may involve the use of cookies;

- from publicly available websites and resources;
- otherwise as permitted by law.

Lawfulness, fairness and transparency
We will collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information only when we have a legal basis for doing so, and we will do so in a manner that is fair and transparent to you.
How do we obtain your consent?
Where our use of your personal information requires your consent, you can provide such consent:

Cookies and similar technologies
We may use technology such as cookies and Google Analytics to track and report on traffic at our website. You can set your browser not to accept cookies.
Third party websites
This statement applies only to SPP’s use of personal information. When you link to another website or request a service from a third party (for example, if you access or buy SPP-related products through a third party), your dealings will be subject to the third party’s privacy policies and terms of use. We encourage you to become familiar with the privacy practices of every website you visit and other services that you use.
How long do we keep your personal information for?
We will comply with our legal obligations for the retention or destruction of personal information where required.
Confidentiality and security of your personal information
We use reasonable safeguards to protect personal information from loss and misuse, and against access, use, modification or disclosure that isn’t authorised by SPP.
Data processors (third parties who process your personal information on our behalf) are required to comply with relevant privacy laws.
Where we disclose personal information to a third party outside New Zealand, we check that they are required to protect the information in a way that, overall, provides comparable safeguards to those in the Privacy Act.
How can you access and correct your personal information?
You may contact us to request access to the personal information we hold about you (subject to any exceptions in the Privacy Act), and ask that we correct personal information we hold about you. We may require additional information about you, including to verify your identity, before disclosing any information to you.
