As a commercial entity operated in New Zealand for New Zealand consumers, Adhesion advocates and is bound to the Privacy Act 1993. Adhesion strongly recommends all customers and internet users to better inform themselves about the New Zealand Privacy Act.
Although not required under New Zealand law, Adhesion also strives to protect your information by trying to stay up to date with industry-leading privacy practices, as prescribed in the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), the Children Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the Fair Information Practices, the CANSPAM Act and more.
Please read the following to see how Adhesion strives to go above and beyond New Zealand privacy laws.
CalOPPA is the first state law in the US to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. Typically, Adhesion only serves (and therefore collects the information of) New Zealand businesses. Adhesion strongly recommends you better inform yourself about the California Online Privacy Protection Act. In line with the CalOPPA, Adhesion also actively advocates the following practices:
The United State’s Federal Trade Commission also enforces the COPPA, which explains what operators of websites and online services must do to protect children's personal information, privacy and safety online. For the record, Adhesion does not specifically market to children under the age of 13 years old.
The Fair Information Practices principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe. Understanding the Fair Information Practice Principles and how they should be implemented is critical to comply with the various privacy laws that protect personal information.
Should customer data be breached, in order to be in line with Fair Information Practices, Adhesion strives to notify customers via email, phone or other media within 1 working week.
We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also to use courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.
The CANSPAM Act defines the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. For the record, Adhesion collects your email address and other information in order to:
In line with the CANSPAM Act, Adhesion also actively advocates the following practices:
If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, you can email Adhesion or visit www.adhesion.co.nz.
