AdVibe Ltd ("KiwiApex", "we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting the privacy of all visitors to our website at kiwi-apex.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have under New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020 and, where applicable, the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).

By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the Site immediately.

3. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

• Information you provide directly: When you subscribe to our newsletter, fill in the lead form, contact us by email or telephone, or interact with our social media accounts, we may collect your name, email address, phone number and any other information you choose to share.
• Information collected automatically: When you visit the Site, we automatically collect your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time spent on each page and device identifiers. This is done via server logs and, where you consent, via analytics cookies.
• Cookies and tracking technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies as described in our Cookie Policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie Settings link in the footer.
• Partner referral data: If you click a link to one of our partner platforms, we may receive confirmation that a click or registration occurred. We do not receive any payment or financial information you provide directly to those third-party platforms.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the personal information we collect to:

• Deliver the newsletter and any other content you have subscribed to
• Respond to your enquiries and provide customer support
• Analyse Site usage and improve our content, design and performance
• Send you marketing communications about supercar giveaways, new reviews and partner offers (only where you have consented or we have a legitimate interest in doing so)
• Comply with legal obligations under New Zealand law and any other applicable legislation
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse or security incidents
• Process referral fee claims from our partner affiliate programme

5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For visitors from the UK or EU, we rely on the following legal bases: consent (for analytics and marketing cookies and email marketing); legitimate interests (for analytics, fraud prevention and improving the Site); and legal obligation (for compliance with applicable law).

6. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

• Service providers: Email delivery platforms, web hosting providers, analytics tools and customer support software that process data on our behalf under data processing agreements.
• Partner platforms: If you click through to a partner and register, that partner will collect and process your information under their own privacy policy. We encourage you to read their policies before registering.
• Legal authorities: Where required by law, court order or regulatory authority, we may disclose information to New Zealand Police, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, or equivalent overseas authorities.

7. Data Retention

We retain newsletter subscriber data for as long as you remain subscribed, plus 12 months following unsubscription to allow re-subscription without data re-entry. Enquiry records are retained for 3 years. Analytics data is retained in anonymised or aggregated form for up to 26 months. Server logs are retained for 90 days.

8. Your Rights

Under New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020 and, where applicable, the GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal retention obligations)
• Object to or restrict certain processing activities
• Withdraw consent at any time (this will not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal)
• Lodge a complaint with the Office of the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner (privacy.org.nz) or the UK ICO (ico.org.uk)

To exercise any of these rights, contact our Privacy Officer at [email protected]. We will respond within 20 working days.

9. International Data Transfers

Our analytics and email marketing providers may process data outside New Zealand. Where data is transferred to countries without adequate privacy protections, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses for EU/UK transfers).

10. Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information, including TLS encryption for data in transit, access controls, and regular security assessments. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Children

The Site is not directed at persons under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will delete it.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect any changes. Continued use of the Site following a policy update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
