Privacy
Short version: we only collect what we need to reply to you and do the work, we don't sell it, and you can ask to see or correct it any time.
Who we are
Dropped Pin is a small Auckland business run by Seb. Contact: seb@droppedpin.co.nz.
What we collect
- When you use the free check form: your name, business name, suburb, email, phone (if you give it), type of business, any link you add, and anything you write in the message box.
- When you email or call: whatever you choose to tell us.
- When you browse the site: our web host keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages requested) for security and to keep the site running. We don't use advertising cookies, tracking pixels or analytics cookies.
Why we collect it
To prepare the free check you asked for, reply to you, and, if you become a client, deliver the work and invoice you. We don't sell or rent your details, and we won't add you to a mailing list you didn't ask for.
Who else handles it
The website and form are hosted by Netlify, and email is handled by our email provider. Both may store information on servers outside New Zealand, under their own privacy and security terms. We don't share your details with anyone else unless the law requires it.
How long we keep it
Free check requests are kept for 12 months and then deleted, unless you become a client. Client records are kept for the length of the engagement, plus seven years for tax purposes.
Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you can ask to see the personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct it. Email seb@droppedpin.co.nz and we'll respond within 20 working days. If you're not happy with how we've handled your information, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
Client work
When we work on your Google profile, we handle the reviews and customer messages that appear there. We never publish personal or health information in review replies, and we never confirm that a reviewer is a patient or customer beyond what they've said themselves.
