We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information. We may share it with the following categories of recipient only to the extent necessary for the purposes described in Section 4.
5.1 Service Providers
We engage third-party service providers who process personal information on our behalf and under our instructions, including:
- Payment processing and card-scheme operators
- Reservation management system providers
- Website hosting and content delivery providers
- IT security and analytics providers

All such providers are required, by contract, to protect your information with standards no less protective than those in this Policy, and to use it only for the specified purpose.

We may share personal information with our lawyers, auditors and insurers where necessary for the provision of professional services or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
5.3 Regulatory and Law Enforcement Bodies
We may disclose personal information to government authorities, regulatory bodies or law enforcement agencies where we are required or permitted to do so by applicable law, including for the purposes of complying with gaming regulations applicable to our casino operations.
5.4 Business Transfers
In the event of a sale, merger, restructuring or acquisition involving Delvessianluxemanor Ltd, personal information held by us may be transferred to the relevant parties as part of that transaction. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that your privacy interests continue to be protected.
6. International Transfers of Personal Information
Delvessianluxemanor Ltd is based in New Zealand and the Website is operated from New Zealand. However, some of our service providers are located in, or store data on servers in, countries other than New Zealand. Where personal information is transferred outside New Zealand, we take steps to ensure that it receives a comparable level of protection to that required by the Privacy Act 2020. These steps may include:
- Entering into contractual arrangements with the overseas recipient that require them to protect the information consistently with the Privacy Act 2020;
- Transferring to a country whose privacy laws the Privacy Commissioner has recognised as providing comparable safeguards; or
- Relying on your consent, obtained before transfer, where the above mechanisms are not available and the transfer is necessary to fulfil your request.
By submitting personal information through the Website, you acknowledge that such transfers may occur in accordance with this Section.
8. Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements. The following indicative retention periods apply:
| Category | Indicative Retention Period | Reason |

| Reservation and booking records | 7 years from the date of stay or cancelled reservation | Legal and financial record-keeping obligations |

| Cookie and consent records | 3 years from the date the consent was recorded or withdrawn | Demonstrating compliance with applicable law |
| Marketing preferences | Until you withdraw consent or we cease marketing activities | Consent-based processing |
When personal information is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymise it. Where anonymisation is not practicable, we will restrict further processing pending secure deletion.
9. Security of Your Personal Information
We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it against unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, loss or destruction. These measures include:
- Encrypted transmission of data over public networks using industry-standard TLS protocols;
- Secure storage of personal information with access controls limited to authorised personnel;
- Regular security assessments and vulnerability monitoring;
- Staff training on privacy and information security obligations;
- Contractual obligations on service providers to maintain equivalent security standards.
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure. While we take reasonable steps to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please contact us immediately at privacy@delvessianluxemanor.com.
In the event of a privacy breach that is likely to cause serious harm to individuals, we will notify the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals as required by the Privacy Act 2020.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the following rights in relation to the personal information we hold about you.
10.1 Right of Access
You have the right to request confirmation of whether we hold personal information about you, and to request a copy of that information, subject to certain exceptions permitted by law (for example, where disclosure would prejudice the prevention, detection or investigation of a criminal offence, or would unreasonably disclose the personal information of another individual).
10.2 Right of Correction
If you believe that personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or not up to date, you have the right to request correction. We will take reasonable steps to correct the information, or, where we decline to make the correction, to attach a statement of the correction sought but not made.
10.3 Right to Withdraw Consent
Where we process your personal information on the basis of your consent (for example, for marketing communications or non-essential cookies), you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal. You can withdraw consent by:
- Clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email;
- Adjusting your cookie preferences via the cookie settings link in the Website footer; or
- Contacting us at privacy@delvessianluxemanor.com.

We will respond within 20 working days of receiving a valid request, as required by the Privacy Act 2020. There is no fee for making an access or correction request; however, if a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or decline the request in accordance with the Act.
