Accessing and Correcting Personal Information
You have a right to access and ask us to correct or delete any inaccurate personal information we may hold about you. If you would like to review or correct your personal information, please contact us using the details at the bottom of this Privacy Policy:
If you contact us we may, for your protection, ask you for additional information to verify your identity. We will use all reasonable efforts to provide the access you request within 10 working days and will correct or delete any inaccurate personal information you discover unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes.
Please be aware that even after your request for a change or deletion of information is processed, we may keep a copy of the information that you originally provided to us in our archives for uses documented in this Privacy Policy and may for a time, retain residual information about you in backup and/or archival copies of our databases.
How we retain your personal information
We retain personal information regarding you for as long as your account is active, to provide you with the services contracted. We also retain personal information for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, for example, to comply with our legal obligations, to protect us in the event of disputes and to enforce our agreements and to protect our and others’ interests.
The precise periods for which we keep your personal information vary depending on the nature of the information and why we need it. Factors we consider in determining these periods include the minimum required retention period prescribed by law or recommended as best practice, the period during which a claim can be made with respect to an agreement or other matter, whether the personal information has been aggregated or pseudonymised, and other relevant criteria. For example, the period we keep your email address is connected to how long your account is active, while the period for which we keep a support message is based on how long has passed since the last submission in the thread.
You may have a seasonal site or come back to us after an account becomes inactive, we don’t immediately delete your personal information if you cancel all services. Instead, we keep your personal information for a reasonable period of time, so it will be there for you if you come back.
You may delete your account by contacting us at digitalhalosnz@gmail.com and Digital Halos will delete the personal information it holds about you (unless we need to retain it for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy).
Please note that in the course of providing our services, we collect and maintain aggregated, anonymised or de-personalised information which we may retain indefinitely.
