Privacy Policy

General

Team Management Services recognises its responsibility, and is committed to, ensuring the privacy of your information.


Personal Information

You may be asked to submit certain personal information in order to receive or use services from Team Management Services. We will treat any such personal information submitted by you and any information retrieved while using this website ("site") in accordance with this Privacy Policy.


Modification of this Privacy Policy

Team Management Services may, from time to time and at its sole discretion, modify, alter or otherwise change this Privacy Policy with or without notice to you. All such changes will be effective immediately upon the updating of the page on the site at which the Privacy Policy is contained. You agree to check the Privacy Policy and be bound by the Privacy Policy that is in effect at the time at which you access the site. The date of the most recent revision of the Privacy Policy is provided at the end of the Policy.


Collection, Use and Storage of Personal Information

You may browse information contained on the site without providing personally identifiable information. Where you voluntarily provide personally identifiable information (e.g. if you submit a 'Contact Us' form or email us), we will hold your personal information in accordance with the requirements set out in the New Zealand Government Privacy Act 2020. In particular:

  1. Your personal information will be used only for the purposes for which it is collected and will be retained only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which the information was collected (including any time that we are required by law to retain such information).
  2. We will not release your personal information to any third party except where required to, permitted to, by law, where you have authorised us to do so or where disclosure is connected to the purpose for which the information was collected.

Information Retrieved while Visiting the Website

Some information is automatically retrieved while you visit the site. This information is outlined below. In the event that any personal information is collected, we will only use this information in aggregate form so that the identity of individual users cannot be identified.

In order to provide you with better and more relevant services, we compile information about email responses and website usage. This information helps us to better understand our customers' interests and site usage patterns and also what types of content may help to encourage those visits.

We also log your IP address (the perceived location of your computer on the internet) and your browser and operating system details whenever you use the site. This is primarily for system administration and troubleshooting purposes but to also assist in understanding the locations of users accessing the site and the different types of technology platforms being used to do so.


Email Communications

We may send emails to you from time to time. Such emails may relate to:

  • learning services that we are providing to you
  • responses to enquiries

In addition, if you have opted-in to receive such communications, we may send you via email information relating to our products and services. All ‘opt-in’ emails include links to unsubscribe from the email service. You can also use the Contact Us page of the site to make any such request.

Our emails may track clicks to find out which links in the email were clicked on. We may also track whether the email itself has been viewed and by whom. "HTML-sensing" may be used to determine if your client supports HTML-based emails.


Cookies

This site uses cookies to enhance your experience while visiting the site. Cookies are small text files created by a web server, delivered through a web browser, and stored on your computer or device. They provide a means for this site to keep track of online patterns and preferences, as well as to identify return visitors. Cookies make the personalisation of your web experiences possible, so that you do not need to re-enter your information each time you visit the site.

You have the ability to manage the use of cookies on your computer using controls in your browser. To learn more about how to manage cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org. Note that disabling of cookies may prevent this site from functioning properly when viewed through your browser.


Data Storage

This website, and the underlying data, is hosted by a third party service provider. This provider – Globicom Limited (trading as VPS City) – is a New Zealand Registered Limited company (NZBN 9429033674735), headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand. The company operates under New Zealand Law – and specifically with respect to privacy considerations - the Privacy Act 2020. This service utilises server infrastructure which is based in New Zealand.

In addition, several of the services offered by us which store your Personal Information are hosted by service providers based in Australasia. The providers of these services are subject to either Australian law (including The Australian Government Privacy Act 1988) or New Zealand Law (including the Privacy Act 2020). Data stored by these providers is on infrastructure located within Australasia, or for EU citizens, in the European Union.

These Service Providers employ physical, electronic and managerial processes to protect the hosted services and the data collected.


Security

To prevent unauthorised access, maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of any information supplied by you, Team Management Services have put in place physical, electronic and managerial processes to protect your information. Additionally, all user information stored on the site is protected from unauthorised access through the use of secure passwords, user passwords and other security procedures. Users have specific responsibilities to keep their passwords safe.

Where your activities on our websites result in data exchange between you and the sites, such exchange of information is protected by means of SSL encryption.

Data exchange via email, due to the nature of the technologies involved, is not completely secure. Although we will endeavour to protect any personal information that you send to us via email, we cannot guarantee the security of such information. Once we have received your personal information via this mechanism, we use security processes and technologies to secure this information.

Notwithstanding the above, Team Management Services reserves the right to retain and anonymise any and all non-personal information you have provided to us if such information is being used, or is intended to be used, for research purposes.
