Privacy Policy
Last updated:
1. Introduction
Lineexceptional ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you visit our website at https://lineexceptional.world (the "Website").
We comply with the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand), including the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) that govern how agencies collect, use, store, and disclose personal information. Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies to individuals in the European Economic Area, we also respect those requirements.
2. Who We Are (Agency / Data Controller)
Under New Zealand law we are the agency responsible for holding and processing your personal information. Where GDPR terminology is used below, this role is also referred to as the data controller. Our contact details are:
- Lineexceptional
- 156 Favona Road, Favona, Auckland 2024, New Zealand
- Email: support@lineexceptional.world
- Phone: +64 9 579 5646
3. Information We Collect
3.1 Information You Provide
When you use our contact form, we collect the following personal data:
- Full name
- Email address
- Message content
- Your confirmation that you agree to our processing of this information as described in this policy
3.2 Automatically Collected Information
When you visit our Website, our hosting or infrastructure may process technical data typical of web traffic. Depending on our configuration, this may include:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referring website
- Pages visited and approximate timing
- Date and time of access
Locally on your device we store cookie consent preferences (see our Cookie Policy). We do not use third-party analytics or advertising scripts unless we update this policy and our cookie tools to reflect that.
4. Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing
We collect and use personal information only for lawful purposes connected to our business and in accordance with the IPPs. Our purposes include:
- Contact form and correspondence: to respond to your messages (NZ: collected fairly and for a lawful purpose connected to our activities; EU: where GDPR applies, consent or steps at your request prior to a contract)
- Operating the Website: security, functionality, and improvement (NZ: purpose connected to our functions; EU: legitimate interests where applicable)
- Analytics and similar tools: only as described in our Cookie Policy and only where you have given consent through our cookie controls, if such tools are used
- Legal compliance: to meet obligations under applicable law
We do not sell your personal information.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected:
- Contact form submissions: retained for up to 12 months after the inquiry is resolved, then securely deleted unless a longer period is required by law
- Server or analytics logs: if our hosting provider or any analytics tool we use generates logs or reports, retention follows the provider’s settings and this policy; we configure analytics, when used, to minimise identifiable data where practicable
- Cookie consent preferences: stored in your browser until you clear site data or we change our consent mechanism
6. Data Sharing and Transfers
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share information with:
- Website hosting and infrastructure providers (as needed to operate the Website)
- Analytics or similar service providers only where you have consented through our cookie settings and such services are actually in use, as described in our Cookie Policy
- Professional advisers or regulators when required by law
If personal information is transferred outside New Zealand, we take steps that are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that the receiving person or entity is required to protect the information in a way that, overall, provides comparable safeguards to those under the Privacy Act 2020 (for example, contractual commitments). Where GDPR applies, we use appropriate mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
7. Your Rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you generally have the right to:
- Access your personal information that we hold (subject to limited exceptions in the Act)
- Correction of your personal information if you believe it is inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which it is being used
You may also ask us whether we hold personal information about you. If you are in the EU/EEA and GDPR applies, you may have additional rights (such as erasure, restriction, portability, and objection in certain cases).
To exercise your rights, contact us using the details in this policy. Under New Zealand law we will respond to privacy requests as soon as reasonably practicable, and within 20 working days after receiving your request unless we extend that period in accordance with the Act (for example, for complex requests). We may need to verify your identity before providing access.
8. Data Security and Privacy Breaches
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against loss, unauthorised access, use, modification, disclosure, or other misuse (Privacy Act 2020, IPP 5). These steps may include:
- Use of HTTPS for connections to our Website where supported by our hosting
- Limiting access to personal information to those who need it
- Reviewing our practices as our systems evolve
If we become aware of a notifiable privacy breach that is likely to cause serious harm to affected individuals, we will comply with the Privacy Act 2020 requirements regarding notification to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals, where applicable.
9. Children's Privacy
Our Website is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at young children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate parental or guardian involvement where required. If you believe we have received personal information from a child in error, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
10. Complaints
If you are concerned about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve the matter. You may also make a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (New Zealand). Information about making a complaint is available at https://www.privacy.org.nz. If GDPR applies to you, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.
