Privacy policy

Your privacy on this site

What we collect, and why.
We keep it minimal.
Your rights under NZ law.
This policy explains what information astaxanthin.co.nz collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. We aim to collect as little as possible and to handle it in line with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.

What we collect

Information you give us. If you contact us, we receive whatever you choose to send, such as your name, email address and message.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect basic technical data when you visit, such as your device and browser type, approximate location, pages viewed and how you arrived. This is used in aggregate to understand and improve the site.

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and analytics tools to see how the site is used so we can improve it. These tools may set cookies in your browser and record usage data. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may work less smoothly if you do.

How we use your information

We use the information above to respond to enquiries, to operate and secure the site, and to understand which content is useful so we can improve it. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it to build advertising profiles.

Who we share it with

We share personal information only with the service providers that help us run the site, such as our hosting and analytics providers, and only to the extent they need it to provide their service. We may also disclose information where the law requires it.

Links to other sites

This site links out to external sources, including PubMed and other research databases, so you can verify what you read. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and this policy does not cover them.

Keeping and protecting your information

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected, then delete it. We take reasonable steps to protect it from loss, misuse and unauthorised access, though no website can promise perfect security.

Your rights

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you and to request that we correct it. To make a request, contact us using the details provided on the site.

Children

This site is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
