How we use cookies
We may use “cookies” and collect session information to provide you with access to tailored information and products on NNZ owned or operated websites.
A cookie is a piece of programming which enables us to customise services on our NNZ owned or operated websites to help with navigation, monitor usage and to help personalise your experience. For example, a cookie can be used to store registration information so that you do not need to re-enter that information on a subsequent visit to the site.
We may send cookies to your computer while you are accessing NNZ owned or operated websites. We do not use them to collect any personal information about you, although we may collect non-attributed (anonymous) information regarding your use of NNZ owned or operated websites. Web browsers enable you to either accept or decline the receipt of cookies. If you utilise this function you will still be able to access this site albeit without some enhancement features.
We may use cookies and other interactive techniques such as Web beacons to provide you with access to tailored information and services from us, and to serve you. We also may collect non-personal information about how you interact with NNZ owned or operated websites, and Web-related products and services, to understand what you enjoy and use on NNZ owned or operated websites (and what you do not use or enjoy on our websites). We also use cookies in the delivery of our online advertising, where banner advertisements are placed on any of NNZ owned or operated websites or third party websites.
When you view one of our advertisements on NNZ owned or operated websites or third party website, we or one of our partners may use cookies (see explanation of what these are above) and iframes to collect information which may include (but is not limited to) the following:
- the server your computer is logged onto;
- your browser type;
- the date and time of your visit; and
- the performance of our marketing efforts.
For further information on cookies and how to switch them off see www.allaboutcookies.org.
How we use Google Analytics
In addition, we use Google Analytics to collect information on how you interact with NNZ owned or operated websites, by using cookies to collect information similar to that listed above.
Google Analytics uses this information to perform statistical analysis of aggregate user behaviour, but this analysis is not based on personal information. We use this analysis to measure advertising effectiveness and relative consumer interest in the various areas of NNZ owned or operated websites and to present relevant advertising on websites where we advertise. NNZ may disclose the information collected by Google Analytics, in an aggregate (not personal) form only, to third parties including advertisers or potential advertisers.

Disclosure of personal information
In connection with the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, we may disclose your personal information to related and third party organisations involved in the administration and promotion of netball including but not limited to the Zones (Northern, Waikato Bay of Plenty, Central, Mainland, South), ANZ Premiership Teams and individual Netball Centres and as permitted or required by law.
We may also share your personal information across organisations within the NNZ Group for the purposes stated within this privacy policy.
In order to provide certain products and services, for example in the administration of netball, human resources, and business management, NNZ may appoint other organisations to carry out some of the processing of activities on our behalf. In some circumstances, this may require NNZ to share your personal information with service providers who perform services that NNZ have requested. Our service providers are not authorised by us to use or disclose your personal information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf in accordance with this policy or to comply with legislation.
We currently store our electronic data, which includes personal information, on secure servers located in New Zealand and overseas. Use of these servers means some of the personal information we hold may be transferred to, or accessed from, countries other than New Zealand, by our service providers. However, to the extent we transfer or disclose personal information to a third party outside of New Zealand we will ensure that such third party is subject to comparable privacy laws to New Zealand or is otherwise required to protect the personal information in a way that is, overall, comparable to New Zealand’s privacy laws.
How long we hold personal information
The personal information we collect will be retained for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and may lawfully be used.
Security and storage
We hold your personal information safely and securely in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations, including the Privacy Act 2020. In particular, we take reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification or unlawful destruction or accidental loss of personal information. However, we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted through the internet and you acknowledge and agree that any online transmission of personal information to us is conducted at your own risk.
NNZ owned or operated websites, any direct marketing, or other communications we have with you may contain links to third party websites. Unless expressly stated otherwise, these websites have not been developed by and are not controlled by us. They are provided for your convenience only, and do not imply that we check, endorse, approve or agree with the privacy practices of the third party websites linked. We encourage you to be aware when you leave NNZ owned or operated websites and to read the privacy statements of each and every third party website you visit.
How you can access and correct your personal information
You are entitled to obtain confirmation of whether or not we hold any personal information about you and to obtain access to that information. You may request correction of or access to your personal information at any time.
If you request access to, or a copy of, your personal information, we will provide you with a copy of the personal information we keep about you, if that information is held in a way that it can be readily retrieved. However, we reserve the right to charge you a reasonable amount for providing copies of any personal information you request, to take into account the time, cost and effort involved.
If you request a correction to your personal information and we agree that your personal information needs correcting, an amended record of your personal information will be provided back to you. If we do not agree to your request for a correction, you may request that we take reasonable steps to attach to the information a statement of correction sought but not made.

Rights under the UK Data Protection Act 2018 and EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
In addition to the rights above, you may have certain additional rights if you are based in the European Economic Area, including:
- To erase your personal information - You can ask us to delete or remove your personal information in some circumstances, such as where we no longer need it, if you withdraw your consent (where applicable) or you validly object to the processing. If you are entitled to erasure we will comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Note, even after our reasonable efforts to erase, there may be some residual information that could remain within our databases and other records which is not removed. We may also need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes, for compliance with our legal obligations, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and/or to complete any transactions started before your request is received. If we have shared your personal information with others, we will let them know about your request where reasonably possible. If you ask us, where it is reasonably possible and lawful for us to do so, we'll also tell you who we've shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
- To restrict or object to the processing of your personal information - You can ask us to ‘block’ or suppress the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances, such as where you contest the accuracy of that personal information or you object to us doing so. If you are entitled to restriction and if we’ve shared your personal information with others, we will let them know about the restriction where it is reasonably possible for us to do so. If you ask us, where it is reasonably possible and lawful for us to do so, we'll also tell you who we've shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
- To transfer your personal information - You have the right, in certain circumstances, to obtain personal information you’ve provided us with (in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format) and to reuse it elsewhere. You may also ask us to transfer this data to a third-party of your choice where this is technically practicable.
- To withdraw consent - If we rely on your consent as our legal basis for processing your personal information, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
- To obtain a copy of personal information safeguards used for transfers outside your jurisdiction, and
- To lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority in the European Economic Area.
