Privacy Policy
Tax Justice Aotearoa New Zealand (TJA) is committed to safeguarding the privacy of our website visitors. We believe you have the right to privacy on the web. This policy sets out how we will treat your personal information.
1. What information do we collect and why?
We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data: information about your computer and about your visits to and use of this website including your IP address, geographical location, browser type, referral source, length of visit and number of page views; information that you provide to us for the purpose of registering with us e.g. your email address and other personal information when you sign up; information that you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to our website services, email notifications and/or newsletters; and any other information that you choose to send to us.
2. Information Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorised access to or unauthorised alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to guard against unauthorised access to systems where we store personal data. We won't sell, trade or exchange your information without your permission.
TJA will not provide your personal information to any other organisation, with some exceptions: When you choose to petition a decision-maker through our website, your name, city/town and electorate will be forwarded to the decision-maker, but not your email or physical address; When you send an email through this site, for example to a member of Parliament, that email will come from your registered email address, not our campaign site's, and hence will include the details you provide, often including your email address and other information as required by Law in New Zealand for inclusion in petitions.
Access to personal information is restricted to TJA members who need to know that information in order to run and improve our campaigns. All individuals with access to data are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.
3. Do we use cookies?
The TJA websites use "cookies" to help personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize any campaign pages, or register with our campaign sites or services, a cookie helps us to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information. When you return to the same web site, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the TJA features that you customise.
We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users' computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google's privacy policy is available here. Our advertisers/payment services providers may also send you cookies.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the TJA campaign sites' services or other web sites you visit.
4. How will we use your personal data?

We may use your personal information to: administer the website; improve your browsing experience by personalising the website; enable your use of the services available on the website; send you general (non-marketing) communications; send you email notifications which you have specifically requested; provide third parties with statistical information about our users but this information will not be used to identify any individual user; and deal with enquiries and complaints made by or about you relating to the website; and make petition submissions to third parties, where you have signed the petition and the third party is a target of the campaign to which the petition relates.
Where you submit personal information for publication on our website, we will publish and otherwise use that information in accordance with the license you grant to us.
We will not sell, rent or share your personal data with third party organisations.
