3. How we use your information
We use your information to:

We collect information fairly and directly from you wherever possible, and we do not use it for

4. Cookies and tracking
Like most websites, ecotectural.co.nz uses cookies and similar technologies (small files stored in
your browser) to remember your preferences, understand how the site is used, and measure our
advertising. Some cookies are set by us directly, and others are set by the third-party tools
described in section 6, which may set their own cookies when their scripts load on our pages.
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking cookies will
not stop you using the site, though some features, such as the Calendly booking widget, may not work
as well without them.
5. Advertising, remarketing and how to opt out
We run Google Ads and Meta (Facebook and Instagram) advertising, and we use remarketing to show our
ads to people who have previously visited our site. If you would rather not see personalised ads from
us, you can opt out at any time through:
Opting out will not stop you seeing ads altogether, just ads personalised using your visit to our
site.
6. The tools we use
We use the following trusted third-party tools to run our website, respond to enquiries and run our
advertising. We do not sell your information, and we only share it with the tools below and our own
team, as needed to provide the service you have asked for.
- Google Analytics: measures how people use our site, so we can understand and improve it.
- Meta Pixel: measures the results of our Facebook and Instagram advertising and helps us
show relevant ads, including remarketing, to people who have visited our site.
- Google Ads / Google tag: measures the results of our Google advertising, including
remarketing to past visitors.
- Formspree: securely delivers the enquiry and contact forms on this site to our email.
- MailerLite: manages our guide and newsletter email list, and sends the emails people have
asked for.
- Calendly: manages free consultation bookings made through our site.
Each of these providers has its own privacy policy governing how it handles data on our behalf.
7. Storage and security
Our website runs over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and we only work with reputable providers
for hosting, forms, email and bookings, each of which maintains its own security standards. No method
of storing or transmitting information online is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to
protect your information from misuse, loss, or unauthorised access.
We keep enquiry and booking information for as long as we need it to respond to you and, where
relevant, to meet our own business and legal record-keeping obligations, and then delete or de-identify
it. If you have subscribed to our guide or newsletter, we keep your email address until you unsubscribe
or ask us to remove it.
8. Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to ask us:
- what personal information we hold about you
- to correct that information if it is wrong
- to delete it or stop using it, where reasonably possible
To make a request, email daryl@ecotectural.co.nz. We
will usually respond within 20 working days, as required by the Act.
9. Complaints
If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first at
daryl@ecotectural.co.nz so we can try to put it right. If
you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy
Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.

We may update this policy from time to time, for example if we start using a new tool or change how
