Website Privacy Policy  

The United North Piha Lifeguard Service Inc (UNPLS) recognises the Privacy Act 1993 and has adopted "The Information Privacy Principles" as our policy on all methods of contact between you and us. 

Why do we collect your personal information?

We collect personal information in the process of conducting our service.  Your personal information may be obtained directly from you, via another contact in our organisation or through a third party who we believe has informed you that your details may be provided to us.  We’ll only collect and store your personal information for a lawful purpose connected with a function or activity of our service and for as long as your personal details are relevant to you conducting business with UNPLS.

We only collect and store personal information that enables us to maintain contact with the people we do business with.  That contact may be verbal, electronic or written.

When do we use your personal information?

We only collect personal information that is necessary for us to operate our service and maintain our relationship with you.  We won’t use your personal information without taking reasonable steps to ensure, having regard to the purpose for which the information is to be used, that the information is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant and not misleading. 

Information that was obtained in connection with one purpose will not be used for any other purpose unless we believe on reasonable grounds:

  1. That the source of the information is a currently available publication;
  2. You authorise the use of your personal information for that other purpose;
  3. That use of the information for another purpose is directly related to the purpose with which the information was obtained;
  4. That the information:

a)       Is used in a form in which you are not identified;

b)      Is used for statistical or research purposes and will not be published in a form that could reasonably be unexpected or identify you;

c)       Is in accordance with an authority granted pursuant to the Act.

How do we collect your personal information? 

We won’t collect your personal information by any unlawful means or by means that are unfair or intrude upon your personal affairs.  Where practical, we’ll only collect personal information directly from you.  However, if we collect personal information from another source, we’ll only do so where we believe on reasonable grounds:

  1. The information is publicly available; or
  2. You have authorised the collection of the information from somebody else; or

3.       The information will not be used in a form which could identify you or will be used for statistical or research purposes and would not be published in a form that could reasonably identify you.

You may choose the contact options that you’d like through our web-based registration page.  If you chose not to use the registration page we will mark it as if you had selected all options on the registration page, unless you advise us otherwise. 

Modifications made by you, to your personal information, through our registration page may take time to take effect within our databases.

How do we store your personal information? 

Your information is held either in paper-based records or in electronic form in our databases.  We take precautions to ensure security of your information, as are reasonable to take in the circumstances, against loss, access, use, modification or disclosure without our authority. 

If it’s necessary for your personal information to be given to a third-party, in connection with a service provided by us, everything reasonable and within our power, will be done to prevent unauthorised use or unauthorised disclosure of your information. 

If your personal information is no longer required by us, we’ll either delete it from our systems or de-identify it so it cannot be attributed to you personally. 

How can you check the information we hold? 

We’ll take all reasonable steps to ensure your personal information is accurate.  You’re entitled to have access to your information, to request correction of the information we hold and to request that there be attached to the information a statement of the correction sought but not made. 

If you wish to view the personal information we have stored please email, fax or write to the Director of Membership, who’ll arrange for your personal information to be extracted and made available for viewing by you at the UNPLS club.  (Note: This will not include any passwords or security relevant information).  We’ll not mail or email your personal information document to you but we’ll notify you, in a timely manner, when it’s available for viewing at the UNPLS club.

How do we use “cookies”? 

Our website uses cookies which are small amounts of information sent from a web server to your computer.  These cookies are used to retain login and state information.  We do not use cookies to track your internet activity before or after you leave the UNPLS web environment.  Any activity while you are at our website may be monitored.  No other company has access to our cookies.
