Your privacy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information submitted by you on this website and any information automatically retrieved during your visits to this website (together “your information”). For example, when you enter this website your computer may automatically be issued with a cookie. These are text files that identify your computer to our server, so that when you visit this website again, the cookie will identify your computer to our web server.
We are committed to ensuring the privacy of your information, and will hold all your information collected in association with Auckland City Libraries in accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act 1993 (the “Act”).
Consent and use of information
By accessing and browsing this website, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure, storage and processing of your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Your information will only be used for internal monitoring and market research purposes. Website data is separate from individual users' Auckland City Libraries - Tāmaki Pātaka Kōrero account data. In other words, we cannot look up your library card number and see where you have been on the web.
We will only use your information to send you email newsletters if you have expressly signed up for email newsletters or updates on this or any other Auckland City website, or you have supplied your email address to us by any other means for another purpose. When we communicate with you for these purposes (or any other purposes noted in this Privacy Policy), you consent to receiving communication from us in any other form, including by way of text or email.
In both HTML updates (those that contain text and images) and text email updates (those that contain no images), we track clicks to find out which links in the email were clicked on and by whom. In HTML email updates we also track whether the email itself has been viewed and by whom.
"HTML-sensing" is used to determine if your email client supports HTML-based emails. This is employed only if you request our system to detect whether you can receive HTML emails.
Disclosure to third parties
We will not release your information to any third party except where required to or permitted to by law, where you have authorised us to do so, or where disclosure is connected to the purposes for which the information was collected.
Your information will be retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected.
