What Personal Information We Collect
This privacy policy for sports betting sites in NZ covers every page on betcompass.co.nz. Two kinds of information reach us: what you give us, and what your device reports automatically. We collect no identity documents, card numbers or bank details, because we never process a bet or a deposit.
- Contact details you provide. Your name and email address when you write to us, subscribe or report a correction.
- The content of your message. Whatever you choose to include in it.
- Technical data. IP address, browser, device type, operating system and referring page.
- Usage data. Which of our reviews of betting sites in NZ you open, how long you stay and which links you follow.
- Cookie data. Identifiers set through your browser, described in full in our cookie policy.
How We Use Your Personal Information
Every purpose below ties back to running our reviews of betting sites in NZ. We answer your messages and send the newsletter you asked for. We measure which pages readers use, which tells the team which sports betting sites in NZ to test next. We watch for spam, abuse and attempts to manipulate our rankings. We meet legal obligations when a request arrives from a court or a regulator.
Marketing email goes only to readers who opted in, and each one carries an unsubscribe link. We do not use your information to make automated decisions about you. Nothing in our reviews of betting sites in NZ is personalised using data you did not give us.
We never sell the personal information collected through our reviews of sports betting sites in NZ. Sharing happens in four situations.
Service providers act on our instructions: hosting, email delivery, analytics and security. Operators receive no reader data from us, even when you follow an affiliate link out of our rankings. Those operators set their own cookies under their own policies. We disclose information where the law requires it. A court order or a request from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner both qualify. If the site changes hands, reader data may pass to the new owner.
Some providers are based overseas, so information may be held outside New Zealand. Under the Privacy Act 2020, we disclose to an offshore provider only where comparable privacy safeguards apply.
How We Protect and Store Your Data
Access is limited to the people who need it, and traffic runs over encrypted connections. Team accounts are protected by multi-factor authentication.
Nothing collected through our reviews of betting sites in NZ is kept longer than its purpose needs. Correspondence stays on file while a matter is open, then for a short period. Newsletter records last until you unsubscribe. Analytics data is retained in aggregate, where readers can no longer be identified.
If a privacy breach is likely to cause serious harm, we notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner. The readers affected are told as well, as the Privacy Act 2020 requires.
Your Privacy Rights and Choices
The Privacy Act 2020 gives you rights over the information we hold. Our privacy policy for the best sports betting sites in NZ applies to every reader. Most requests are answered within 20 working days.
- Access. Ask what we hold about you and receive a copy.
- Correction. Ask us to fix anything inaccurate, or to attach a statement of correction if we disagree.
- Deletion. Ask us to erase your information. We honour such requests unless the law requires us to keep it.
- Marketing choices. Unsubscribe from email using the link in any message.
- Cookie choices. Change or withdraw consent through the banner or your browser.
- Complaints. Raise a concern with us, then with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner if unsatisfied.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We update this page whenever our practices change, and the date at the top shows the current version. Material changes are flagged on the site after publication.
Our reviews of sports betting sites in NZ are written for readers aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If a minor’s data reaches our records, we delete it. Betting should stay entertainment, and free support is available from the Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655.
