Restricting processing

How we may share your personal information
We may share your personal information with organisations that we may appoint to carry out administration, processing and other services on our behalf. These service providers will not be authorised by us to use or disclose your personal information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf, or to comply with legislation.
We may also disclose your personal information for the purposes of safety and security to relevant law enforcement bodies, or as may be authorised by you.

Cookies and analytics
Like many other website operators, we may use 'cookies' on NZR websites including Team All Blacks. Cookies are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive and are used to record how you navigate the NZR website on each visit, including providing us with information about pages and advertisements (including click through from emails) which have been viewed, how frequently particular pages are visited and the most popular areas of NZR websites.
We may use cookies to enrich your experience of using NZR websites by allowing us to develop and improve NZR websites to reflect your interests by tailoring what you see to reflect what we have learned about your preferences during your visits to NZR websites. This will mean some of your stored browsing history can be accessed by us.
In addition to cookies, we may use Google Analytics and other tracking software including, but not limited to, Google, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter retargeting throughout NZR websites to understand and optimise user experience and to improve NZR advertising. This tracking software collects and analyses certain types of information, including cookies, IP addresses, device and software identifiers, referring and exit URLs, onsite behaviour and usage information, and other similar information.
We and any of our third-party analytics service providers may:
- use cookies to anonymously track and target advertising based on your browsing behaviour; and
- use the cookies of that analytics service provider together with the cookies of another analytics provider to inform, optimise, and serve ads based on a user's past visits to this website.
NZR websites may also detect and use your IP address or domain name for internal web traffic monitoring and capacity purposes, or to otherwise administer the relevant NZR websites, but no personal information is collected.
Patterns of use by visitors to the Team All Blacks website may be tracked for the purposes of providing improved service and content based on review of user’s website traffic patterns.
Turning off cookies and opting out of analytics
You do not have to accept cookies and can change your browser settings to prevent cookies being stored on your computer. But if you do turn cookies off this will limit the service that we are able to provide to you and may affect your visitor experience.
For further information on cookies and how to switch them off see www.allaboutcookies.org.
You can opt-out of Google Analytics using the ads settings at www.google.com/settings/ads.
Mobile App location based services
When you download and use the All Blacks App, we use mobile analytics software provided by third parties to collect information about the type of device you use, its operating system, your geolocation, and browsing and usage data such as how often you use the All Blacks App and from where you downloaded the All Blacks App. When you register or log in to your Team All Blacks profile via the All Blacks App, we will be able to identify you. The All Blacks App services provider will also have access to your specific geolocation, device identification, and All Blacks App usage information.
We use location-based information to verify your location and send location-based content to you. We also may work with third party providers who use technologies such as geofencing and beacons to identify fans attending a match and contact fans via an in-app feature in order to serve unique content to enhance your game day or event experience. These service providers are permitted to use your information only for the purpose of acting on our behalf. You can opt-out of location-based services at any time by editing your location settings on your device.
Storage and security
We will only hold your personal information for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected (unless otherwise required by law).
We will take reasonable steps to store your personal information safely and securely against loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, use, modification or other misuse. However, we cannot guarantee the security of information you provide to us via electronic means as information sent over the internet may be unsecure.
Overseas disclosures
Your personal information may be held by us in New Zealand. It may also be held on our behalf by service providers who are located both in New Zealand and overseas.
Accessing and correcting your personal information
You are entitled to request access to, and the correction of, the personal information we hold about you.
If the information you have requested can be readily retrieved, and subject to any lawful grounds for withholding, we will provide you with a copy of the personal information you have requested.
You may update or correct your personal information online by logging into your Team All Blacks account. You can also contact us in writing or by email to request a correction. If we agree with the correction requested, we will make the change. If we do not make the correction requested, you can ask for your correction request to be kept with the personal information of yours that we hold.
If you no longer want to remain a member of Team All Blacks, you are able to cancel your Team All Blacks membership (see the 'cancel membership' link under account settings on the Team All Blacks website (www.teamallblacks.com).
Requesting erasure of your personal information
You can ask us to delete or remove your personal information in some circumstances, such as where we no longer need it, if you withdraw your consent (where applicable) or you validly object to the processing. If you are entitled to erasure we will comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Note, even after our reasonable efforts to erase, there may be some residual information that could remain within our databases and other records which is not removed. We may also need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes, for compliance with our legal obligations, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and/or to complete any transactions started before your request is received. If we have shared your personal information with others, we will let them know about your request where reasonably possible.
Data portability
You have the right, in certain circumstances, to obtain personal information you've provided us with (in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format) and to reuse it elsewhere. You may also ask us to transfer this data to a third party of your choice where this is technically practicable.
Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
If you are based in the European Economic Area (EAA) and have a concern about any aspect of our privacy practices, including the way we've handled your personal information, you can report it to the relevant Supervisory Authority in the EEA.
If you ask us, where it is reasonably possible and lawful for us to do so, we will tell you who we have shared your personal information with so that you can contact them directly.
Please be aware that some of these rights may be limited or unavailable, for example where we have an overriding interest or legal obligation to continue to process the data.
Obligation of NZR to notify privacy breaches
If NZR has a privacy breach that has caused serious harm to you (or is likely) to do so, we will need to notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner and any affected people (including you) as soon as possible after becoming aware of the privacy breach.
