Privacy policy
What we collect, why we collect it, who sees it, and your rights under the Privacy Act 2020.
What we collect
When you use our check, we collect your answers to the four questions, your first name (and last name if you give one), your phone number and your email address. We also record which page you arrived on, which campaign link you used if any, and the site you came from, so we know what is working.
We do not ask for your date of birth, driver licence, bank details or IRD number.
Why we collect it
- To pass your details to a broker partner who can contact you about car finance options.
- To reply if you email us.
- To understand which pages help people, and to fix problems with the site.
Who we share it with
With your agreement we share your details and check answers with broker partners, and through them with lenders, so they can contact you and assess your situation. We use service providers to run the site and handle enquiries, such as our hosting provider, and they may store information outside New Zealand. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it for advertising.
Cookies and tracking
At the time of writing we do not use advertising or analytics cookies. The site loads its typeface from Google Fonts, which means Google receives your IP address when a page loads. If we add analytics or advertising tools later, we will update this page first.
How long we keep it
We keep enquiry details only as long as we need them to pass your enquiry on and deal with any follow-up, and then delete or anonymise them. Broker partners and lenders keep information under their own policies.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email info@secondchancecarfinance.co.nz and we will respond within 20 working days.
If you are not happy with how we handle your information, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
Security
Our forms are sent over an encrypted connection, and we limit who can see enquiry details. No system is perfect, so if you think your information has been misused, tell us straight away.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of the page.
