All such changes will be effective immediately upon the updating of the page on the site at which the Privacy Policy is contained.
You agree to check the Privacy Policy and be bound by the Privacy Policy that is in effect at the time at which you access the site.

Collection, Use and Storage of Personal Information
You may browse information contained on the site without providing personally identifiable information.
Where you voluntarily provide personally identifiable information (e.g. if you complete a questionnaire or registration form with us or email us),
we will hold your personal information in accordance with the requirements set out in the New Zealand Government Privacy Act 2020. In particular:
- Your personal information will be used only for the purposes for which it is collected and will be retained only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes
for which the information was collected (including any time that we are required by law to retain such information).
- We will not release your personal information to any third party except where required to, permitted to, by law,
where you have authorised us to do so or where disclosure is connected to the purpose for which the information was collected.
Information Retrieved while Visiting the Website
Some information is automatically retrieved while you visit the site. This information is outlined below.
In the event that any personal information is collected, we will only use this information in aggregate form so that the identity of individual users cannot be identified.
In order to provide you with better and more relevant services, we compile information about email responses and website usage.
This information helps us to better understand our customers' interests and site usage patterns and also what types of content may help to encourage those visits.
We also log your IP address (the perceived location of your computer on the internet) and your browser and operating system details whenever you use the site.
This is primarily for system administration and troubleshooting purposes but to also assist in understanding the locations of users accessing the site and the different types of
technology platforms being used to do so.
Questionnaires
If you fill in a questionnaire on the site you may be asked to provide Personal Information as part of the process. This information is used:
- To allow your responses to be uniquely identified within our internal systems
- To enable us to contact you should we need to discuss your questionnaire submission
- (Where applicable) to enable our systems to send you access details to cloud-based services directly related to your questionnaire
Personal Information collected through our questionnaires is not used for any other purpose.
Email Communications
We may send emails to you from time to time. Such emails may relate to:
- orders that you have submitted to us
- accreditation or other learning services that we are providing to you
- responses to enquiries
In addition, if you have opted-in to receive such communications, we may send you via email information relating to our products and services.
All ‘opt-in’ emails include links to unsubscribe from the email service. You can also use the Contact Us page of the site to make any such request.
Our emails may track clicks to find out which links in the email were clicked on. We may also track whether the email itself has been viewed and by whom.
"HTML-sensing" may be used to determine if your client supports HTML-based emails.

This site uses cookies to enhance your experience while visiting the site. Cookies are small text files created by a web server, delivered through a web browser, and stored on your computer or device.

This website, and the underlying data, is hosted by a third party service provider. This provider – Globicom Limited (trading as VPS City) – is a New Zealand Registered Limited company

electronic and managerial processes to protect your information. Additionally, all user information stored on the site is protected from unauthorised access through the use of secure passwords,
user passwords and other security procedures. Users have specific responsibilities to keep their passwords safe.
Where your activities on our websites result in data exchange between you and the sites, such exchange of information is protected by means of SSL encryption.
Data exchange via email, due to the nature of the technologies involved, is not completely secure. Although we will endeavour to protect any personal information that you send to us via email,
