We collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our business activities. The types of personal information we may collect include:
Where it is lawful and practicable, you may interact with us anonymously or using a pseudonym (for example, when browsing general content on the Website). However, if we cannot identify you we may not be able to provide you with products, services or support.
We generally collect personal information directly from you, including when you:
In some cases we may collect personal information from third parties, such as your employer, our channel partners or distributors, publicly available sources, referees you have nominated, or service providers (for example, analytics and marketing platforms). We will only do so where it is permitted under the Privacy Act 2020.
We collect, hold and use personal information for purposes connected with our business, including to:
We will only use personal information for a purpose other than the one for which it was collected if you have authorised us to do so, or if another exception under the Privacy Act 2020 applies (for example, where the use is directly related to the original purpose or is required or authorised by law).
We do not sell your personal information. We may share personal information with the following categories of recipients, where it is necessary for the purposes described in this policy:
We require our service providers to handle personal information consistently with the Privacy Act 2020 and only for the purposes for which we have provided it.
Because NovoLabs™ operates globally and uses cloud-based service providers, personal information may be stored or processed outside New Zealand, including in countries such as Australia, the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Where we disclose personal information to an overseas recipient, we will comply with Information Privacy Principle 12 of the Privacy Act 2020. This means we will only do so where one of the bases set out in the Act applies, such as where the recipient is in a country with comparable privacy safeguards, is required to protect the information on terms comparable to the Privacy Act 2020, or where you have authorised the disclosure after being informed that the overseas recipient may not be required to protect the information in a way that provides comparable safeguards.
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, unauthorised access, use, modification, disclosure or other misuse. These steps include access controls, network security, encryption in transit, secure cloud hosting, staff training and confidentiality obligations.
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law (for example, tax and financial records). When personal information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify it.
