Your Privacy Matters
BestAI is committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. This policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data.
How We Protect Your Information
Purpose of Collection
We only collect personal information that is necessary to provide our AI deployment and consulting services. This includes your name, email address, phone number, and business details submitted through our contact form or during service engagements.
Source of Information
We collect information directly from you — through our website contact form, email correspondence, phone calls, and in-person meetings. We do not collect personal information from third parties without your knowledge.
Collection Transparency
When we collect personal information, we will tell you why we need it, how we will use it, and who we may share it with. You are never obligated to provide personal information, but some services may not be available without it.
Storage & Security
Your data is stored on secure, encrypted servers located in New Zealand. We implement industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption, access controls, and regular security audits to protect your information.
Access & Correction
You have the right to request access to your personal information and to ask for corrections. Contact us at hello@bestai.co.nz and we will respond within 20 working days as required by the Privacy Act 2020.
Retention & Disposal
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes it was collected. When information is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or de-identified.
