Changes to this Policy

We may change this policy by uploading a revised policy onto the website. The change will apply from the date that we upload the revised policy.

Who do we collect your personal information from

We collect personal information about you from:

You, when you provide that personal information to us, including via the website and any related service, through any registration or subscription process, through participation in our training classes, through any contact with us (e.g. telephone call or email), or when you buy or use our services and products.
Third parties where you have authorised this or the information is publicly available.

If possible, we will collect personal information from you directly.

What information do we collect

We may collect personal information related to you, including your:

Other information related to providing products and services to you

If you do not wish to provide your personal information

Providing some information is optional. For example, you may wish to withhold vehicle preference information. In the event you withhold optional information, we will endeavour to continue to provide our products and services to you.

Though we endeavour to minimise the information we collect, you must provide certain personal information for us to be able to provide certain products and services. For example, you must provide a valid driver license if you wish to hire a vehicle. If you choose not to provide requested information, we may be unable to provide you with the products and/or services requested.

Please let us know if you do not wish to provide certain information and we will clarify whether that information is required for us to provide the product or service requested by you.

Accessing and correcting your personal information

Subject to certain grounds for refusal set out in the Act, you have the right to access your readily retrievable personal information that we hold and to request a correction to your personal information. Before you exercise this right, we will need evidence to confirm that you are the individual to whom the personal information relates.

In respect of a request for correction, if we think the correction is reasonable and we are reasonably able to change the personal information, we will make the correction. If we do not make the correction, we will take reasonable steps to note on the personal information that you requested the correction.

If you want to exercise either of the above rights, email us at [email protected]. Your email should provide evidence of who you are and set out the details of your request (e.g. the personal information, or the correction, that you are requesting). Alternatively, you may write us at:

TR Group, PO Box 12541
Penrose, Auckland 1642

We may charge you our reasonable costs of providing to you copies of your personal information or correcting that information.

Internet Use

While we take reasonable steps to maintain secure internet connections, if you provide us with personal information over the internet, the provision of that information is at your own risk.

If you follow a link on our website to another site, the owner of that site will have its own privacy policy relating to your personal information. We suggest you review that site’s privacy policy before you provide personal information.
