We minimise data collection and only process what’s necessary:

  • Candidate Information: Names, political affiliations (if provided), and responses to our questionnaire (published with consent).

  • Website Visitors: Anonymous data (e.g., browser type, pages visited) via cookies for analytics. We do not use tracking that identifies individuals.

3. How We Use Information

  • To publish candidate responses (with explicit consent).

  • To improve website accessibility and user experience.

  • To respond to inquiries (e.g., voter questions about content).

We never: Sell data, use profiling, or share personal details with third parties unless legally required.

4. Cookies & Analytics

We use minimal, non-invasive tools (e.g., Google Analytics with anonymised IPs) to understand visitor trends. You may disable cookies in your browser settings.

5. Your Rights Under NZ Privacy Law

You may:

  • Request access to or correction of your personal data.

  • Withdraw consent for published candidate responses (contact us; removal may take 5 days).
