Privacy Statement – New Zealand

In making a donation, you will be providing New Zealand Association of Jehovah’s Witnesses (NZBN 9429043114122) with your personal information, such as your name and contact details. You may also be providing us with information of a sensitive nature, for example, if you nominate your local congregation or circuit as the recipient of your donation.

The worldwide religious organisation of Jehovah’s Witnesses has a General Privacy Policy and global data protection policies. View: General Privacy Policy, Global Policy on Use of Personal Data, Global Data Protection Policy of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Global Policy on Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies (collectively referred to as “the Global Policies”). This Privacy Statement should be read in conjunction with the Global Policies. However, in the New Zealand jurisdiction, this Privacy Statement and the Privacy Act 1993 (NZ) prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with the Global Policies.

We collect personal information from you to:

process your donation;
communicate with you about your donation, although we will not contact you to request additional donations;
conduct our accounting and administrative functions in connection with your donation;
respond to any query or complaint made by you.

We keep records of financial transactions, including records of online donations, for a minimum of seven years in order to comply with accounting standards and respond to any questions from you that arise during that period.

If you do not provide some or all of the personal information we request, it may not be possible to process your donation or to respond to any query or complaint you make.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in New Zealand and Australia who assist in processing our donations. In addition, some of your personal information may be stored on servers which are situated outside New Zealand, most likely in Australia or the United States of America.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is kept accurate and up-to-date for the purposes for which it was collected. You have the right to request access to, or correction of, any personal information we hold about you by contacting us.
