Sharing

Ruapehu Chalet Rentals shares this information with our staff and./or employees

Ensuring and respecting your privacy is important to us. We do not sell, trade, rent or otherwise share your personal information with third parties unless one of the following circumstances apply:

With your consent: We may share personal information with third parties when we have your express consent to do so.

​​With our contractors and service providers: We sometimes engage other trusted businesses and persons to provide services and perform functions on our behalf. We may provide such persons with access to personal information needed to perform their functions, based on our instructions and in accordance with appropriate security, privacy and confidentiality measures.

Jointly provided services: In some cases, we may provide services jointly with other businesses or organisations. For such ‘co-branded’ offerings in which a third party is involved, we may share or jointly collect customer information with that third party. In such cases, we will make it clear at the outset who is collecting or receiving the information and whose privacy statement governs its use.

For legal purposes: We reserve the right to disclose your personal information as required by law and when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect or enforce our rights, to protect against harm or the rights, property or safety of others or to comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process served on us.

Also, in the event that Ruapehu Chalet Rentals or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, our customer information will be one of the transferred assets. In that case, we will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and will give affected users notice before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Occasionally we may send information or offers to you on behalf of other organisations or businesses. When we do this, however, we do not share your personal information with those other organisations or businesses.

We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our contractors, service providers and other third parties such as marketing, search and research organisations, for example, Google.

Correcting your information

You have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected, please contact us at info@ruapehu.co.nz, or 06 385 8149, or PO Box 176, Ohakune.

If you contact us we may, for your protection, ask you for additional information to verify your identity. We will use all reasonable efforts to provide the access you request within 10 working days and will correct or delete any inaccurate personal information you discover unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes.

Please be aware that even after your request for a change or deletion of information is processed, we may keep a copy of the information that you originally provided to us in our archives for uses documented in this Privacy Policy and may for a time, retain residual information about you in backup and/or archival copies of our databases.

Changes

We may occasionally change our Privacy Policy. These changes may reflect, among other things, changes in applicable laws or regulations, changes to our data collection practices, and/or changes to our business or services

We will post any updated policies on this page and if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice on our homepage. You can tell if the privacy policy has been changed by checking the revision date that appears at the top of this policy.

Using our services or website after a notice of the changes has been published on our website shall constitute your consent to the changed terms or practices. We, therefore, encourage you to review our Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
