We may use third parties to perform services on our behalf. In particular, we may use third parties to run a credit and identity check on you when you sign up for a User Account.

Where possible and appropriate, we will notify you if we are required by law to disclose your Personal Information.
5. Disclosure Overseas
We communicate with our related companies in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States from time to time. Therefore some disclosures may occur outside New Zealand. If we disclose your Personal Information to one or more of our related companies, any use of your Personal Information by those companies will be done following their respective Privacy Policies which can be viewed here for Australia, here for the United Kingdom and here for the United States.

7. Privacy Breaches
The Privacy Act 2020 requires us to notify affected individuals and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner about ‘notifiable privacy breaches’. A notifiable privacy breach means a privacy breach that it is reasonable to believe has caused serious harm to an affected individual or individuals or is likely to do so.
We will investigate and assess a privacy breach concerning the factors set out in the Privacy Act 2020 to determine whether the breach is a ‘notifiable privacy breach’. Even if we decide the breach is not notifiable, we may decide it is appropriate to notify you anyway as part of our commitment to taking privacy seriously.

Our Online Services may contain links to other websites that are not under our control. These websites may use cookies. It is the responsibility of those third parties to collect appropriate consents from you to permit their own cookies (to the extent this is required by law) and to inform you about the cookies they use. You should check the Privacy Policy on all third party websites to ensure you are comfortable with third-party cookies.
We have no responsibility for linked websites and provide them solely for your information and convenience. We specifically disclaim responsibility for their content, privacy practices and terms of use, and we make no endorsements, representations or warranties about their accuracy, content or thoroughness. Your disclosure of Personal Information to third party websites is at your own risk.
