Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE — update when this is finalised] 1. WHAT THIS POLICY COVERS This Privacy Policy explains how GoFundzy collects, uses, and protects personal information when you use this platform as an organiser, a supporter/donor, or an organisation contact. 2. WHAT WE COLLECT Organisers: name, email, phone, organisation details, and bank account details for payout purposes. Supporters/Donors: name and email address at checkout (used for your receipt), and, if you choose, whether you appear as anonymous in public records. Automatically collected: IP address and basic technical information for security and fraud prevention (for example, to apply rate limiting to forms). We do not collect or store full card numbers — card payments are handled directly by Stripe. 3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION To operate campaigns and organisation donation pages, process payments via Stripe, send receipts and account-related emails, respond to enquiries, and protect the platform against fraud and abuse. 4. WHO WE SHARE IT WITH Stripe, for payment processing. Email delivery is via our own SMTP provider or transactional mail service. We do not sell personal information to third parties. 5. COOKIES We use cookies for essential functions such as keeping you signed in, and to understand how the site is used. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser; a cookie notice is shown on your first visit. 6. DATA RETENTION We retain transaction records for as long as reasonably necessary for accounting, tax, and dispute-resolution purposes. 7. YOUR RIGHTS Under the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand), you can request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you by contacting us via our Contact page. 8. SECURITY We take reasonable steps to protect personal information, including using Stripe for payment processing so sensitive card data never touches our own servers. 9. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page. 10. CONTACT Questions about this policy can be sent via our Contact page. [This is a draft template. It should be reviewed by a lawyer before the platform accepts real payments or personal data at scale.]
