Rangiora New Life School (“the school”, “we”, “us”) respects your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and share personal information through this website, in line with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.
Information we collect
We only collect personal information that we need. Through this website, that may include:
- your name, email address, phone number and message when you contact us or send an enquiry, including venue hire enquiries;
- your name and email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or mailing list;
- information you provide in any forms or documents you download, complete and return to us, such as enrolment applications;
- basic technical information about your visit, such as your browser type, device and the pages you view, collected automatically by our web server and cookies.
Information about students and their families collected through enrolment and day-to-day school life is managed under the school’s wider privacy practices and the Ministry of Education’s requirements.
How we use your information
We use personal information to:
- respond to your enquiries and requests;
- send you newsletters and school updates you have asked for;
- process enrolment applications and communicate with families;
- manage venue and facility bookings;
- keep this website secure and working well.
We will not sell your personal information, or use it for purposes unrelated to the reason it was collected unless you agree or the law allows it.
Sharing your information
We may share personal information with trusted service providers who help us run the school and this website (for example, website hosting, email and payment providers such as Kindo). They may only use it to provide those services to us. We may also share information with the Ministry of Education or other agencies where we are required or permitted to by law.
Photos and student information
We celebrate school life by publishing photos of events and activities on this website, in our newsletters and on our social media channels. We take care in how we identify students and follow the consent choices families make at enrolment. If you would like a photo of yourself or your child removed, please contact us and we will act on your request promptly.
Cookies
This website uses cookies that are needed for it to work properly, and may use cookies to understand how the site is used so we can improve it. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some parts of the site may not then work as intended.
Links to other websites
This website links to other sites, such as Kindo, Facebook and YouTube. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies.
Storage and security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access. We keep information only for as long as we need it, or as long as the law requires.
Accessing and correcting your information
You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it if it is wrong. To make a request, please contact our Privacy Officer using the details below.
