Privacy statement

Information collected when you visit

This website is delivered and protected using Cloudflare. When you visit it, Cloudflare processes technical information associated with your request. This may include:

• your IP address;
• the date and time of the request;
• the pages and other website resources requested;
• the referring website, if supplied by your browser;
• your browser, operating system and device type;
• an approximate location derived from your network connection;
• response, performance, caching and security information; and
• information used to identify suspected bots, attacks or other security threats.

Stanton Consulting uses Cloudflare's aggregated traffic analytics to understand overall website use, identify unusually high traffic, investigate security events and improve the website. The information reviewed may include visits, page views, cities, referring websites, popular pages, device categories, browsers, response errors and security events.

Stanton Consulting may review available technical information at an individual request or network level where reasonably necessary to investigate repeated, unusual or security-relevant activity, understand significant patterns of interest in the website, or protect the website and its systems. Information arising from such a review may be retained where reasonably required for security, operational, business-record or legal purposes.

More information about Cloudflare's handling of information is available in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Cookies and tracking

This website does not use advertising cookies or behavioural analytics cookies.

Cloudflare may use strictly necessary cookies where required to provide security, bot-management or traffic-protection functionality. These cookies are not used by Stanton Consulting for advertising or cross-site tracking.

If non-essential cookies or additional tracking technologies are introduced in the future, this statement will be updated and consent will be requested where required.

Contacting Stanton Consulting

If you contact Stanton Consulting by email, the information collected may include your name, email address, organisation and the contents of your message.

This information will be used to respond to your enquiry, discuss possible services, maintain relevant business records and meet legal or professional obligations. Please avoid sending confidential or sensitive information until appropriate arrangements have been agreed.

Sharing and overseas processing

Personal information may be handled by service providers that support the operation of the website, email and business systems. Cloudflare operates a global network, so technical information may be processed or stored outside New Zealand, including in countries where Cloudflare and its service providers operate.

Stanton Consulting does not sell or rent personal information. Information will otherwise be disclosed only where reasonably necessary to provide services, protect the website, obtain professional support or meet a legal obligation.

Retention and security

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected, or to meet legal and business-record obligations.

Cloudflare retains technical and analytics information in accordance with its service settings, contractual arrangements and privacy policy. Stanton Consulting may retain summaries or records arising from the investigation of repeated, unusual or security-relevant website activity. Information will be retained only for as long as reasonably required for the relevant purpose.

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information from loss, unauthorised access, misuse or disclosure.

You may ask whether Stanton Consulting holds personal information about you and request access to or correction of that information, subject to the Privacy Act 2020.
