Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

Paterson Projects respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights under New Zealand law.

We keep things simple — we collect very little, we don't sell anything, and we're transparent about what we do with your data.

1. Information we collect

When you use our contact form, we collect:

We do not use cookies for tracking, we do not use analytics, and we do not collect any data beyond what you voluntarily provide.

2. How we use your information

Your information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and for any follow-up conversations related to your request. We do not use your information for marketing, we do not share it with third parties for their own purposes, and we do not sell your data to anyone.

3. Third-party services

Our contact form is powered by EmailJS, which processes your form submission to deliver it to our inbox. EmailJS acts as a data processor on our behalf. Please refer to their privacy policy for details on how they handle data in transit.

4. Data retention

We retain your contact information only for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and for any follow-up conversations. Once communication is complete and there is no ongoing business relationship, we delete your information within a reasonable timeframe. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us directly.

5. Your rights under the NZ Privacy Act 2020

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:

We will respond to any privacy-related request within 20 working days, as required by law.

6. Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. Our website is served over HTTPS, and form submissions are transmitted securely via EmailJS.
