Last Updated: February 2025 • In accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand)
This Privacy Policy governs the operations of Neonspectra ("we", "us", "our"), operating the digital domain neonspectra.shop. For all data inquiries, please contact our designated privacy officer via email at [email protected]. We are headquartered in Queenstown, New Zealand, and process all personal data strictly under New Zealand jurisdiction.
This policy applies to all visitors, journal subscribers, and clients interacting with our digital platform, itinerary request forms, and email communications.
We gather information across three fundamental categories:
| Processing Purpose | Categories of Data | Legal Basis (NZ Privacy Act 2020) |
|---|---|---|
| Fulfilling itinerary consultations | Name, email, phone, travel notes | Contractual necessity & direct consent (Principle 1 & 2) |
| Platform security & bot protection | IP address, HTTP request headers | Legitimate operational interest (Principle 5) |
| Audience measurement & analytics | Pseudonymized cookie identifiers | Explicit consent via Cookie Banner |
Our website utilizes Google Consent Mode v2 in advanced configuration. By default, prior to any user selection, telemetry, analytics storage, and ad storage parameters are locked in a 'denied' state. Only essential security cookies operate. When you click "Accept All", consent signals are updated to 'granted'. You may modify or revoke this consent at any moment via the persistent "Cookie Settings" tool in the footer.
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Data is shared only with strictly vetted infrastructure processors (such as hosting providers and secure mail routing services) or when compelled by lawful requests from New Zealand law enforcement bodies.
Where cloud infrastructure resides outside New Zealand, we ensure hosting providers meet comparable privacy safeguards consistent with Information Privacy Principle 12 of the Privacy Act 2020.
Inquiry correspondence is retained for 24 months to address ongoing itinerary modifications, after which all records are securely anonymized or permanently purged.
Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you retain the right to request access to your personal information and demand correction of inaccuracies. If you believe your data has been handled improperly, you may lodge a formal complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) New Zealand (privacy.org.nz).
We deploy full TLS 1.3 encryption, secure socket layers, firewalls, and least-privilege administrative access protocols to protect stored records from unauthorized access, modification, or exposure.
Neonspectra does not intentionally solicit or process data from minors under the age of 16. If we become aware that a child under 16 has submitted personal information without verified parental consent, we will promptly delete the data.
Our articles contain references and external links to the Department of Conservation (DOC), MetService NZ, and transport partners. We hold no responsibility for the external privacy policies or operational practices of external sites.
We may periodically update this policy to reflect legislative updates or technical adjustments. Material modifications will be posted here alongside an updated revision date.
Direct all privacy requests to: The Privacy Officer, Neonspectra via [email protected].
