‍

Session Cookies: are used to remember selections made on our website. Session cookies are deleted automatically when you leave the website or close your browser.

‍

Persistent Cookies: are used to help us understand browsing behaviour within the website, which can assist us in customising content that we believe will be most relevant to your interests. Persistent cookies are stored on the user’s computer and are not deleted when the browser is closed. These cookies must be ‘manually’ deleted if you want to remove them.

You may disable cookies by changing the settings on your browser, although this may mean that you cannot use all of the features of the website.

‍

Accessing and correcting your personal information

‍

Subject to certain grounds for refusal set out in the Act, you have the right to access your readily retrievable personal information that we hold and to request a correction to your personal information.  Before you exercise this right, we will need evidence to confirm that you are the individual to whom the personal information relates.

‍

In respect of a request for correction, if we think the correction is reasonable and we are reasonably able to change the personal information, we will make the correction.  If we do not make the correction, we will take reasonable steps to note on the personal information that you requested the correction.

‍

If you want to exercise either of the above rights, email us at kelly.bennett@oneplusonegroup.co.nz.  Your email should provide evidence of who you are and set out the details of your request (e.g. the personal information, or the correction, that you are requesting).
