Privacy policy – cryptobetsnz

Writing about crypto betting for New Zealand readers needs very little personal information, and cryptobetsnz collects only what an information site requires. The Privacy Act 2020 and its information privacy principles (section 22) govern that collection.

Responsible agency

The body running the site is the agency responsible for personal information collected through it. Its name, address and e-mail are available at cryptobetsnz.com, and questions about personal information go through the same channel.

Information collected

Opening a page makes the server write a log entry covering IP address, date and time, the address requested, the amount of data sent, the referring page and browser type. Logs serve security and the detection of abuse; after 90 days they are deleted or shortened so that they no longer point to a person. A message to the editors adds a name, an e-mail address and the message text, used only to reply. No reader accounts, deposits or bets exist on the site, so payment details and identity documents are never collected. That includes crypto wallet addresses.

Why it is collected

Lawful purposes tied to running the site apply: keeping it working and secure, answering messages and, after a banner choice, measuring the audience (IPP 1). People are told what is collected and why (IPP 3), and use stays within those purposes (IPP 10). No automated decision-making and no profiling take place.

Providers and transfer abroad

Nothing is sold. Providers that host the site, deliver its content and handle e-mail receive information, as do public authorities when the law demands it. If a provider keeps information outside New Zealand, disclosure abroad happens only where comparable safeguards bind the receiver or the person was told and agrees, as IPP 12 requires.

Safeguards and retention

Reasonable safeguards protect information from loss and misuse (IPP 5), and it is kept only while its purpose lasts (IPP 9). Server logs are kept for at most 90 days; correspondence is kept until the matter is closed and for as long as possible claims make necessary. A notifiable privacy breach, one that has caused or is likely to cause serious harm, is reported to the Privacy Commissioner and to those affected.

Rights of access and correction

Each person may ask what information is held about them (IPP 6) and for corrections (IPP 7). The reply comes as soon as reasonably practicable and no later than 20 working days after the request arrives (section 40).

Complaints

Anyone who believes their privacy has been breached may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
