The New Zealand AIDS Foundation (NZAF) recognises the importance of protecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy sets out how NZAF may collect, hold, use and disclose information that identifies you (your personal information).
If you would like to contact us in relation to this Privacy Policy or our use of your information, please email us at the details set out in the Contact Us section below.

This Privacy Policy will also apply if you have confirmed that you agree to it in another context, for example, if you enter a promotion.
You are not required to provide us with any personal information that we request. However, if you do not do so, we may not be able to communicate or provide certain services to you.
Please note that a separate privacy policy will apply if you provide us with confidential information, such as when you use our health services or provide us with any medical of health information. Further information will be provided to you at that time.
Our Websites and services are intended for New Zealand residents only. If you are located in another country you may be subject to other laws, including data protection laws. For that reason, if you are not located in New Zealand you are not permitted to use, and must immediately cease using, our Website and services.
NZAF may update this Privacy Policy at any time by posting an updated version of this Privacy Policy on our Websites. The updated version of this Privacy Policy will take effect immediately upon such notice. We may also take additional steps to bring the changes to your attention, including by notifying you directly. You are responsible for reviewing this Privacy Policy regularly to ensure that you are aware of any updates.
This Privacy Policy applies in addition to, and does not limit, our rights and obligations under the Privacy Act 1993 and the Health Information Privacy Code 1994 (as amended or replaced from time to time) (Privacy Laws) or any specific authorisation that you provide to us when you interact with us or use our services.

When you use our Website we may also collect information that does not identify you (or any other individual), such as analytical information about use of our website. When you use our Website, short text files called “cookies” may be automatically downloaded to your computer or mobile device. Cookies enable us to provide you with a better experience by enabling the Website to know that you have visited before and in some cases to record preferences in order to personalise your visit. Cookies also assist us to analyse the profile of our visitors. These can be session cookies which are deleted when you close your browser and/or persistent cookies which remain on your computer or mobile device for a longer period of time. To delete or stop cookies being placed on your computer refer to the help menu on your internet browser. In a few cases blocking cookies may reduce the functionality of our Website or otherwise prevent access to them depending on your chosen browser options. For further information visit www.aboutcookies.org.
If you provide us with personal information about another person (such as an emergency contact), you confirm that they have authorised you to provide us with their personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and that you have informed them of their rights to access and request correction of their personal information, as set out below.
We use a payment services provider to process all payments made using our Websites. Our current payment services provider is Blackbaud Europe Ltd.
If you make a payment on our Websites (for example, to make a donation or to purchase an HIV testing kit) a third party payments provider will process your payment, such as Blackbaud (for donations) and Bambora and Stripe for other purchases. These payment providers will encrypt and store your payment card number securely, in accordance with their Privacy Policy and (at a minimum) the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS).
Your payment card number is not held by and is never revealed to NZAF.
NZAF may use your personal information for the following purposes:
We also use aggregated and anonymous information for research and analytical purposes (we will ensure that you cannot be identified as identifiable characteristics are removed).
NZAF may share your personal information, collected in accordance with this Privacy Policy, with the following parties for any of the purposes set out above:
We require any third parties to adhere to our confidentiality requirements and to the requirements of the Privacy Act.
Please note that a separate privacy policy will apply if you provide us with, or authorise us to collect, medical of health information. Further information will be provided to you at that time.
Personal information that we collect is either held by us at our head office at 31 Hargreaves Street, St Mary’s Bay, Auckland (refer to the Contact Us section above) or on our behalf. For example, some information we hold will be stored in “the cloud” in secure databases on our behalf by third parties based overseas. The use of these services, and the transfer of information overseas (if applicable) will not relieve us of our obligations under the Privacy Laws and this Privacy Policy.
Security of your information is very important to us. We will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to protect personal information that we hold. However, due to the inherent nature of the internet, we are not able to guarantee the security of any information that you hold or that you transmit to us.
We rely on you to update us if your contact details change (please refer to the Contact Us section below).
Under the Privacy Act, you have the right to access and request correction of any personal information that we hold about you. Please refer to the Contact Us section below.
Our Websites may provide links to other websites for your convenience and information. These websites are outside our control and are not covered by this Privacy Policy. If you access other websites using the links provided, the operators of these sites may collect information from you which will be used by them in accordance with their privacy policy. We are not responsible for the privacy policies or the content of any third party website.
