Privacy

getakiwi.com is run from New Zealand and follows the Privacy Act 2020. This page explains what we collect, why, and what you can do about it.

Who we are

getakiwi.com. Privacy officer: privacy@getakiwi.com.

What we collect and why

• Waitlist details: your email, first and last name, city and age range (one of seven bands from 18-25 to 75+). The city field is pre-filled from your approximate network location, and you can change it. We use these details to tell you about launch and to personalise your updates. We also keep the IP address you joined from, and the version of these terms you accepted by joining.
• Page views and device details: which pages are visited, when, from which device type, and roughly where in New Zealand or overseas. Used to run and improve the site.
• Sessions and engagement: how long you stay on a page, how far you scroll, and which links and buttons you use. We never record what you type.
• Cookies: a session cookie that ends after 30 minutes idle, a returning-visitor cookie that lasts one year, and a record of your choice kept in your browser.
• Browser fingerprint: we combine your screen size, hardware summary, time zone, installed fonts, and a hash of a test drawing and an audio test into a fingerprint. We store it with a salted hash. It lets us recognise the same browser when cookies are cleared, so we can understand patterns of use, spot abuse and improve the site.
• Errors: a short message when a page breaks, so we can fix it.

Outside the waitlist, we do not store your full IP address. We do not sell information or share it with advertisers.

Your choice

Most visitors see a short notice, and tracking runs from the first page. If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, we show you a pop-up saying so. We need tracking to give you a personalised experience, so joining the waitlist turns tracking on for that browser. Joining the waitlist is the only thing that switches it on. If you have explicitly opted out, joining the waitlist does not override that. You can withdraw at any time:

Who we share it with

We use Cloudflare to host the site and store this information. Cloudflare processes it on servers outside New Zealand, and we have checked that its terms protect it to a comparable standard. Waitlist emails are sent by Resend, an email service provider based outside New Zealand. Resend receives the email address and the message content needed to deliver the email. We do not sell information.

How long we keep it

• Page views: 30 days.
• Sessions, engagement and errors: 90 days.
• Consent records: 7 years, so we can show what you agreed to.
• Browser fingerprints: 12 months after we last saw the browser.
• Waitlist email, IP address and acceptance record: until you ask us to remove them, or launch communications end.

A daily job deletes anything older than these periods.

Your rights

You can ask whether we hold information about you, ask for a copy, and ask us to correct or delete it. We will respond within 14 working days. Contact privacy@getakiwi.com. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.

Waitlist emails

We only email people who joined the waitlist or asked to hear from us. Once launch emails start, every email will say who sent it and include an unsubscribe link. Unsubscribing stops future emails, and we keep a short record of the request so we do not email you again by mistake.

Where the site is available

getakiwi.com is not offered to visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland. We block requests from those regions.

Security and breaches

The site uses HTTPS and a strict content security policy. If a privacy breach causes serious harm, we will tell the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and the people affected.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the version date and ask again if the change affects tracking.
