This policy explains how chicken-road-game.org.nz ("the site", "we", "us", "our") handles personal information. We follow the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles.
The site publishes information about the Chicken Road game and online casino play in New Zealand. We are not a casino or a gambling operator. We do not run accounts, take deposits, or process bets, so we do not collect the kind of financial or identity data a gambling operator would.
What we collect
You can browse the site without giving us any personal information. We collect two kinds of data.
Information you choose to give us. When you send us a message through a contact or correction form, we receive what you type - your name, your email address if you provide one, and the content of your message.
Information collected automatically. When you visit, our systems and analytics tools log technical data: your IP address, browser type, device, the pages you open, the time of your visit, and the site you arrived from. This data is aggregated to help us understand traffic, not to identify you by name.
Cookies and analytics
The site uses cookies - small files stored on your device - to make pages work and to measure how the site is used. Analytics tools count visits and show which pages readers find useful.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some parts of the site may work differently once you do. Where the site uses a third-party analytics or advertising service, that provider sets its own cookies under its own privacy terms.
How we use your information
We use the information to:
- Respond to messages and corrections you send us.
- Measure and improve the site's content and performance.
- Keep the site secure and detect misuse.
- Meet our obligations under New Zealand law.
We do not sell your personal information.
Who we share it with
We share limited data with service providers who help us run the site, such as hosting and analytics providers. They act on our instructions and only for the purposes set out here.
Some of these providers store data on servers outside New Zealand. Where that happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure the information is handled with protections comparable to the Privacy Act 2020.
We may disclose information where the law requires it, or to protect our legal rights.
Links to other sites
The site links to casino operators and other third parties. Once you follow a link, you are on their site, under their privacy policy, not ours. We do not control what they collect or how they use it. Read their terms before you hand over any information.
Keeping information safe
We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. No website can promise perfect security, so we cannot guarantee it, but we work to reduce the risk.
How long we keep it
We keep messages you send us for as long as we need them to deal with your query and any follow-up. Aggregated analytics data is kept to track trends over time. We remove personal information once it is no longer needed.
Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020 you have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it if it is wrong. Use the site's contact form to make a request. We will respond within the timeframe the Act sets.
Children
The site covers real-money gambling and is written for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us information, tell us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site or the law changes. The current version applies from the date shown at the top of this page.
Complaints
If you think we have mishandled your personal information, tell us first through the site so we can put it right.
