Private Paradox is a private intelligence, analysis, and advisory firm based in Auckland, New Zealand. We work in sensitive environments and handle personal information with confidentiality and care. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020.

 

1. Information we collect

We collect only the information necessary to communicate with you or deliver services. This may include:

• Information you provide when you contact us (name, email, phone, message content).

• Information you provide during an engagement or enquiry.

• Basic website performance analytics (e.g., page views, load times, browser type). These are anonymous and not linked to identities.

We do not use invasive tracking, cross-site advertising cookies, behavioural profiling, or third-party marketing databases.

 

2. How we use your information

We use personal information only for legitimate business purposes, including:

• Responding to enquiries

• Managing client relationships

• Internal administration

• Meeting legal or regulatory obligations

We will not use your information for unrelated purposes without your permission.

 

3. Sharing your information

We do not share, sell, or trade personal information.
Information may be shared only:

• With external providers that support our operations (e.g., secure email hosting, cloud storage)

• When required by New Zealand law, warrant, or lawful request

• When you have given express written consent

All service providers must comply with reasonable security and privacy standards.

 

4. Storage & security

We store information using secure cloud systems, access controls, and industry-standard security measures. Access is restricted to authorised personnel only.

While no online system is entirely risk-free, we take reasonable steps to protect information under Information Privacy Principle 5 of the Privacy Act.

 

5. Accessing or correcting your information

You may request:

• A copy of your personal information

• Correction of any inaccuracies

• Details about how your information has been used

All requests can be sent to legal@privateparadox.co.nz.

 

6. International data transfer

If information is stored or processed overseas, we ensure that providers offer comparable privacy safeguards, consistent with IPP 12 of the Privacy Act.

 

7. Data retention & deletion

We retain information only for as long as necessary for business or legal purposes. When information is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it.
You can request deletion at any time unless legal obligations prevent this.

 

8. Changes to this policy

Updates may be made periodically. The most recent version will always be available on this page.
