Privacy Policy

StratEd Consulting Limited (we, us, our) complies with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 (the Act) when dealing with personal information. Personal information is information about an identifiable individual (a natural person).

This policy sets out how we will collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information. This policy does not limit or exclude any of your rights under the Act. If you wish to seek further information on the Act, see www.privacy.org.nz.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may change this policy by uploading a revised policy onto the website. The change will apply from the date that we upload the revised policy.

This policy was last updated on 16 September 2026.

WHO DO WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FROM

We collect personal information about you from:

  • you, when you provide that personal information to us, including via the website and any related service, through any registration or subscription process, through any contact with us, such as telephone call or email, or when you engage our services

  • third parties where you have authorised this or the information is publicly available. If possible, we will collect personal information from you directly.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will use your personal information:

  • to verify your identity where necessary

  • to provide our services to you

  • to communicate with you about our services, enquiries, bookings and engagements

  • to respond to communications from you, including complaints or requests

  • to improve the services and resources that we provide

  • to send information about our services, resources or updates where you have consented to receive marketing communications, or where otherwise permitted by law

  • to conduct research and statistical analysis on an anonymised basis

  • to protect and/or enforce our legal rights and interests, including defending any claim

  • for any other purpose authorised by you or the Act.

DISCLOSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose your personal information to:

  • businesses and service providers that support our business, including providers that host or maintain our website, email, booking systems, IT systems or data storage

  • professional advisers where necessary, including legal, accounting or other professional advisers

  • a person who can require us to supply your personal information, such as a regulatory authority

  • any other person authorised by the Act or another law, such as a law enforcement agency

  • any other person authorised by you.

Some businesses that support our services may be located outside New Zealand. This may mean your personal information is held or processed outside New Zealand. Where this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that any disclosure or transfer complies with the Privacy Act 2020.

We may transfer your information in the case of a sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation, reorganisation or acquisition of all or part of our business.

PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will take reasonable steps to keep your personal information safe from loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or misuse.

ACCESSING AND CORRECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Subject to certain grounds for refusal set out in the Act, you have the right to access your readily retrievable personal information that we hold and to request a correction to your personal information. Before you exercise this right, we may need evidence to confirm that you are the individual to whom the personal information relates.

If you request a correction and we consider the correction reasonable and are reasonably able to make the change, we will do so. If we do not make the correction, we will take reasonable steps to note on the personal information that you requested the correction.

If you want to exercise either of the above rights, email us at DavidOlivier@strated.co.nz. Your email should provide evidence of who you are and set out the details of your request, such as the personal information or correction that you are requesting.

We may charge reasonable costs where permitted by law for providing copies of personal information or carrying out certain requests.

INTERNET USE

While we take reasonable steps to maintain secure internet connections, if you provide us with personal information over the internet, the provision of that information is at your own risk.

If you follow a link on our website to another site, the owner of that site will have its own privacy policy relating to your personal information. We suggest you review that site's privacy policy before you provide personal information.

Where applicable, cookies may also be used by third-party services integrated with our website, such as analytics, booking, video or other website functionality.
