By submitting personal information to Live Kiwi or its service providers/partners, you are giving permissions to Live Kiwi to collect, use and disclose personal information in accordance with this privacy policy or permitted by law. In this document, “we”, “our”, or “us” refer to Live Kiwi. This privacy policy aims to inform you about how we collect and handle any information that we collect from you, or that you provide to us. It covers both information that could identify you (“personal information”) and information that could not. We are extremely concerned to protect your privacy and confidentiality. We understand that all users of our website and service are quite rightly concerned to know that their data will not be used for any purpose unintended by them and will not accidentally fall into the hands of a third party. Our policy is both specific and strict. It complies with New Zealand law. If you think our policy falls short of your expectations or that we are failing to abide by our policy, do please tell us. We regret that if there are one or more points below with which you are not happy, you can leave our website immediately or email us at hosting@livekiwi.nz to delete all your information that we hold. However, in doing so, we may not be able to let you join as a host family. Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any personally identifiable information collected at our website. Here is a list of the information we collect from you, either through our website or because you give it to us in some other way, and why it is necessary to collect it: 1. Business and personal information This includes basic identification and contact information, such as your name and contact details and includes all information given to us in the course of your business and ours, such as information you give us in your capacity as our client. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our relationship. It is not used for any other purpose. We expect you to reciprocate this policy. In general, Live Kiwi collects, uses, and discloses personal information from students, parents, schools, agents, partners, host families and any other person that is relevant to operate or delivery our service. This information is used: 1.1. to provide you with the services which you request; this includes matching students with a suitable homestay, booking pickup/drop off services, conducting designated caregiver assessments, under 18 assessments and any other services requested by you. 1.2. for verifying your identity for security purposes; 1.3. for marketing our services and products; 1.4. information which does not identify any individual may be used in a general way by us or third parties, to provide class information, for example relating to demographics or usage of a particular page or service. We keep information, which forms part of our business record for as long as necessary to perform, operate and deliver our service. This information will be shared and disclosed to 1.5. students, parents, agents who request for homestay placements; 1.6. schools and school officials, government agencies, host parents and third providers of Live Kiwi; 1.7. any other person that you consented or permitted by law. 2. Your domain name and e-mail address This information is recognised by our servers and the pages that you visit are recorded. We shall not under any circumstances, divulge your e-mail address to any person who is not an employee or contractor of ours and who does not need to know, either generally or specifically. This information is used: 2.1. to correspond with you or deal with you as you expect; 2.2. in a collective way not referable to any individual, for the purpose of quality control and improvement of our website; 2.3. to send you news about the services to which you have signed up; 2.4. to tell you about other of our services or services of sister websites. 3. Information you post on our website Information you send to us by posting to a forum or blog or in your advertisement, is stored on our servers. We do not specifically use that information except to allow it to be read, but you will see in our terms and conditions that we reserve a right to use it in any way we decide. 4. Website usage information We may use software embedded in our website (such as JavaScript) to collect information about pages you view and how you have reached them, what you do when you visit a page, the length of time you remain on the page, and how we perform in providing content to you. We do not presently associate such information with an identifiable person. 5. Financial information relating to your credit cards This information is never taken by us either through our website or otherwise. 6. Note on padlock symbols and other trust marks Many companies offer certification and an icon or other small graphic to prove to website visitors that the website is safe. Some certify to a high level of safety. Others are more concerned to take our money than to provide a useful service. We do not handle information about your credit card so do not subscribe to any such service. 7. Credit reference To assist in combating fraud, we share information with credit reference agencies, so far as it relates to clients or customers who instruct their credit card issuer to cancel payment to us without having first provided an acceptable reason to us and given us the opportunity to refund their money. 8. Third party content Our website is a publishing medium in that anyone may register and then publish information about himself or some other person. We do not moderate or control what is posted. If you complain about any of the content on our website, we shall investigate your complaint. If we feel, it may be justified, we shall remove it while we investigate. Free speech is a fundamental right, so we have to make a judgment as to whose right will be obstructed: yours, or that of the person who posted the content which offends you. If we think, your complaint is vexatious or without any basis, we shall not correspond with you about it. 9. Information we obtain from third parties Although we do not disclose your personal information to any third party (except as set out in this policy), we do receive data which is indirectly made up from your personal information, from software services such as Google Analytics and others. No such information is identifiable to you. 10. Content you provide to us with a view to be used by third party If you provide information to us with a view to it being read, copied, downloaded, or used by other people, we accept no responsibility for what that third party may do with it. It is up to you to satisfy yourself about the privacy level of every person who might see your information. If it is available to the World, neither we nor you have any control whatsoever as to how it is used. 11. Cookies Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer’s hard drive through your web browser when you visit any website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the website. Live Kiwi do not use any cookies to collect personal information. However, our website server will automatically collect IP addresses. We may review it from time to time to ensure the security of our website and prevent any harmful attacks. 12. Sending a message to our support system When you send a message, we collect the data you have given to us in that message in order to obtain confirmation that you are entitled to receive the information and to provide to you the information you need. We record your request and our reply to increase the efficiency of our business / organisation. We do not keep any personally identifiable information associated with your message, such as your name or email address. 13. Complaining When we receive a complaint, we record all the information you have given to us. We use that information to resolve your complaint. If your complaint reasonably requires us to contact some other person, we may decide to give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole discretion as to whether we do give information, and if we do, what that information is. We may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person. 14. Marketing information With your permission we pass your email address and name to selected associates whom we consider may provide services or products you would find useful. You may opt out of this service at any time by instructing us at hosting@livekiwi.nz 15. Re-marketing We may use re-marketing from time to time. This involves Google or some other supplier placing a tag or marker on our website to be able to serve to you an advert for our products / services when you visit some other website. 16. Affiliate information This is information given to us by you in your capacity as an affiliate of us or a customer or client of ours. Such information is retained for business use only. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our relationship. It is not used for any other purpose. We expect any affiliate to agree to reciprocate this policy. As an exception to this, we have the right to disclose your first name and URL of your affiliate connection to other affiliates and to any other person or organisation, on and off the website. The reason is solely to enable us to mention winners and others whose performance as an affiliate is in some way outstanding. 17. Use of the website by children We do not market to children, nor do we sell products or services for purchase by children. We do sell products and services for end use by children, but for purchase by adults. If you are under 18, you may use our website only with consent from a parent or guardian. 18. Disclosure to Government and their agencies We are subject to the law like everyone else. We may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order. 19. Compliance with the law This privacy policy has been compiled to comply with the law of every jurisdiction in which we aim to do business. If you think it fails to satisfy the law of your country, we would like to hear from you, but ultimately it is your choice as to whether you wish to use our website. 20. Review or update personally identifiable information At any time, you may review or update the personally identifiable information that we hold about you, by contacting us at the address below. To better safeguard your information, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting access or making corrections to your information. 21.

Data may be “processed” outside New Zealand Our website is hosted in New Zealand. We also use outsourced services in countries outside New Zealand from time to time in other aspects of our business. Accordingly, data obtained within the New Zealand may be “processed” outside New Zealand and data obtained in any other country may be processed within or outside that country. Host Families NZ reserve the right to revise this privacy police at any time. If we do make any changes, we will post the updated privacy policy on our website. If you have any question regarding the privacy policy, please contact us via email hosting@livekiwi.nz or give us a call at +64 22 050 6589 PreviousSubmit
