Who We Are

Our website address is https://tanz.net.nz. TANZ is a platform for training event registration, directory listings, and related services. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, avoid including embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract location data from images on the site.

Cookies

If you leave a comment, you may opt to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, so you do not have to re-enter these details for future comments. These cookies last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set up cookies to save your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out removes the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from external sites behaves the same as if you visited those websites directly. These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

We store the personal information provided by users who register on our website in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators can also view and edit user data.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including the data you provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security reasons.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, some data may be processed by third-party services integrated with our website for payment processing, event registrations, and directory listings.
