Privacy policy policy

Your privacy is important to us. It is Folio Studio’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect from you across our website at www.folio.studio, and any other sites we own and operate.

We handle personal information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles.

Information we collect

We only ask for personal information when we truly need it to provide a service to you. The information we collect may include your name, email address, phone number, company and role, and the content of any message you send us – for example, when you make an enquiry, subscribe to a newsletter or correspond with us.

We may also collect technical information automatically when you visit our site, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view and how you arrived at our site. We use this to understand how our site is used and to improve it.

How we collect it

We collect personal information by fair and lawful means, with your knowledge and consent. Wherever possible, we collect it directly from you.

Occasionally we may collect personal information about you from other sources – for example, a referral from a client or a publicly available professional listing. Where we collect your information from someone other than you, we will take reasonable steps to make you aware of that collection and of the matters set out in this policy, unless an exception under the Privacy Act applies.

Why we collect it

We collect and use personal information to respond to your enquiries, provide and improve our services, send you communications you have asked to receive, and meet our legal obligations. We will let you know why we are collecting it and how it will be used at the time of collection. We will not use it for an unrelated purpose without your consent, unless we are permitted or required to by law.

Cookies and analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies, including analytics tools, to understand how visitors use the site and to improve your experience. You can set your browser to refuse some or all cookies, though parts of the site may not function as intended if you do.

Sharing your information

We don’t share any personally identifying information publicly. We will only share your information with third parties where it is necessary to provide a service to you – for example, with service providers who help us operate our website, email and analytics – or where we are required to by law. Any service provider we use is required to protect your information and to use it only for the purposes we have engaged them for.

Sending information overseas

Some of the service providers we use to operate our website and communications may store or process information outside New Zealand. Where we disclose your personal information to an overseas provider, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected by safeguards comparable to those under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.

Storing and protecting your information

We only retain collected information for as long as necessary to provide you with your requested service, or as required by law. What data we store, we protect within commercially acceptable means to prevent loss, theft and unauthorised access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

Data breaches

If a privacy breach occurs that it is reasonable to believe has caused, or is likely to cause, serious harm, we will notify the affected individuals and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner as soon as practicable, in line with our obligations under the Privacy Act 2020.

Your rights

You have the right to ask us what personal information we hold about you, to request access to it, and to ask us to correct it if it is wrong. We will respond to any such request as soon as reasonably practicable. There is no charge to make a request, though in limited circumstances a reasonable charge may apply to providing access.

You are free to refuse our request for your personal information, on the understanding that we may be unable to provide you with some of your desired services. If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us.

Links to other sites

Our website may link to external sites that we do not operate. We have no control over the content and practices of these sites, and we cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Your continued use of our website will be regarded as acceptance of our practices around privacy and personal information.

Contact us

If you have any questions about how we handle personal information, or you would like to access or correct your information, please contact our privacy officer at [email address].

If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at www.privacy.org.nz.

This policy is effective as of June 2026.
