This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected about identifiable individuals, including from you ("personal information"), by any of the following entities:
Each of the Trusts operates for the benefit of the members of Ngāti Tūwharetoa, although the membership of each Trust differs slightly. Each Trust is obliged to maintain a register of members. The Trusts have agreed to work together to maintain and update their respective registers of members.
You are, or have applied to become, a registered member of one or more of the Trusts. Your personal information will be used by each Trust for which you are a registered member. You may be or become a registered member of some, but not all, of the Trusts. Although your personal information may be available to all of the Trusts, it will only be used by those Trusts for which you are a registered member.
The Trusts are committed to protecting your privacy, and all personal information that you supply will be treated in accordance with the Privacy Act 1993 ("Privacy Act").
You may voluntarily provide any of the Trusts with your personal information to enable you to become a registered member of one or more of the Trusts, and for the Trust(s) to provide you with information or services, respond to your enquiries or otherwise use that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
The Trusts may use automated tools, methods, and systems to collect certain information about you automatically when you use any of their websites ("Websites"). When you use any of the Websites, the Trust(s) may collect personal information about you, including:

The Trusts will retain all personal information that is collected under this Privacy Policy for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected.

The Trusts may engage specialised information technology contractors or similarly qualified contractors (who have agreed to deal with your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy) to analyse, process, or action your requested service, and/or store your personal information on the Trusts’ behalf.
The Trusts will ensure that the personal information that you provide them is protected, by such security safeguards as it is reasonable in the circumstances to take, against loss, access, use, modification, disclosure (except with our authority), and other misuse.
If it is necessary for your personal information to be given to a person in connection with the provision of services you have authorised or requested, the Trusts will do everything reasonable within their powers to prevent the unauthorised use or unauthorised disclosure of the information by that person.
