Privacy Policy

Data Controller

The data controller responsible for the personal data collected through this publication is Ora Thirty Publishing Ltd. If you have questions about our data handling practices or wish to submit a privacy inquiry, you can contact our privacy desk through the official contact form published on the website.

Legal framework

We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 2020 alongside the governing legislation in New Zealand. If our policy wording ever conflicts with the legal code, statutory law takes precedence.

Data Collected

We collect information through three primary channels: contact form submissions (such as your name, email address, and message contents), automatic web server logs (which capture IP addresses, browser versions, referring URLs, and access timestamps), and pseudonymous analytics identifiers that record site navigation patterns.

Purposes and Legal Basis

We process technical logs to protect website security, prevent malicious traffic, and ensure operational integrity under our legitimate business interests. Direct inquiries submitted via contact forms are processed based on your consent and our legitimate interest in providing reader support. Aggregated traffic evaluation relies on your informed consent where required by applicable data protection regulations.

Storage Period

We retain personal information only for as long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was gathered. Standard server logs are deleted on a rolling schedule after several weeks. Messages submitted via our contact forms are archived for up to twelve months to resolve reader queries and are subsequently deleted from our servers.

Third-Party Services

We engage selected service providers for website hosting, technical maintenance, and basic web traffic analysis. These vendors process limited technical data on our behalf under written confidentiality terms and data processing agreements that forbid them from using your personal information for their own commercial objectives.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you hold specific legal rights concerning your personal data. These rights include requesting access to your data, correcting inaccurate entries, demanding erasure, restricting certain processing activities, and withdrawing consent at any time. To exercise any of these protections, submit your request through our contact page.
