If you voluntarily include such information in a free-text field (for example, an accessibility request), we will handle it with enhanced care and use it only for the purpose for which you provided it. We will not use it for any other purpose without your explicit consent.

5. Disclosure of Your Personal Information

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
  • Email and communications service 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.

5.2 Professional Advisers

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.

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.

You have the right to raise concerns about our handling of your personal information. Please see Section 12 for information on how to do so.

10.5 Making a Request

To exercise any of the rights described above, please contact us in writing at privacy@delvessianluxemanor.com. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. 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.

11. Minimum Age and Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed at children under the age of 18. In particular, guests must be 18 years of age or over to access casino facilities at the property. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18 through the Website. If you believe that a person under 18 has submitted personal information to us, please contact us at privacy@delvessianluxemanor.com and we will promptly take steps to delete that information.
