Privacy Policy & New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 Compliance
The App Company NZ operates on a strict data-minimisation architecture aligned with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. Interactive calculators (/app-1, /pricing, /website, and /sport-club-apps/) execute 100% client-side inside your web browser without transmitting proprietary commercial inputs to external servers.
1. Client-Side Calculation Guarantee
When you enter revenue figures, project budgets, or club fixture schedules into our interactive tools on /app-1, /pricing, /website, or /sport-club-apps/, all computations occur locally inside your device's JavaScript runtime. Your commercial numbers, downloadable Markdown briefs, and generated .ics calendar files are synthesized in browser memory and are never stored in a remote database.
2. First-Party Edge Telemetry & Outbound Routing
We use lightweight, privacy-preserving first-party analytics (hosted via edge.theappcompany.nz) to measure aggregate page performance, HTTP status health, and outbound technical case-study interactions without cross-site behavioral fingerprinting cookies or invasive third-party ad-tech trackers.
3. Alignment with New Zealand Information Privacy Principles (IPP 1–13)
Our operational governance follows the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) guidelines under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020:
| Privacy Act 2020 Principle | Observatory Engineering Implementation |
|---|---|
| IPP 1 (Purpose of Collection) | Zero registration walls or lead-capture traps on our calculators; voluntary email contact only. |
| IPP 5 (Storage & Security) | Mandatory HTTPS/TLS 1.3 encryption, HSTS preload readiness, and strict Content Security Policy headers. |
| IPP 6 & IPP 7 (Access & Correction) | Any individual or organisation may request access to or correction of correspondence via [email protected]. |
| IPP 11 (Limits on Disclosure) | We never sell, rent, or broker visitor contact details or commercial calculator inputs to third-party agencies. |
| IPP 12 (Cross-Border Disclosure) | Static assets and edge telemetry are served via encrypted Auckland and Sydney regional PoPs with zero PII retention. |
4. Archival Records & Historical Data Stewardship
In maintaining historical continuity for theappcompany.nz (2017–2026), we intentionally omit legacy personal residential addresses and private mobile telephone numbers of former studio personnel while preserving public product documentation and technical benchmarks. For any privacy inquiry under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, contact our Privacy Officer at [email protected].
5. Browser Storage, Local URL Parameters & Security Reporting
When you click Copy Shareable Setup Link on our calculators, your selected configuration parameters (such as project tier or accounting horizon) are encoded directly into the URL query string in your browser address bar so you can bookmark or share the exact model with colleagues. No server-side session profile is created. Security researchers reporting transport or header vulnerabilities may contact [email protected] for coordinated disclosure. We review all privacy and security notices within 48 hours in accordance with New Zealand Office of the Privacy Commissioner best practices and Notifiable Privacy Breach guidelines under Part 6 of the Privacy Act 2020, maintaining full transparency for every visitor across Aotearoa New Zealand.
