Manawanui Support Limited ("us", "we", or "our") is committed to maintaining the highest standards to safeguard personal information. This Privacy Statement outlines when we collect personal information and how we handle it. Personal information is not used, shared, or transferred in connection with the website except as described in this Privacy Statement or otherwise indicated on the site.


Collection, Storage, and Use of Personal Information:

Third-Party Contractors and Confidentiality:
 
We take data privacy seriously and ensure that any third-party contractors who access or process your personal information are bound by appropriate confidentiality agreements. These agreements, which may include Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) or equivalent contractual obligations, are designed to uphold the security and confidentiality of your data. We will identify these third-party contractors where we think it’s ethical and appropriate to do so.

Cross-Border Data Transfers:
 
We operate and store data on servers located outside of New Zealand. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to, processed in, and stored in countries other than New Zealand.

Statistical Information and Cookies:
 
To improve the Service and configure its settings, we may collect statistical information about your visit using website 'cookies'. A cookie is a code snippet that generates a file on your computer to track the pages viewed on our Service or to support its functionality.


Google Analytics:

Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out of having your activity on the Service made available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.
