Privacy Policy

About us
Privacy is paramount to Coligo Consulting Limited, a company incorporated in New Zealand under  registration number 1293726. 

If you have any queries about this privacy policy, please contact us by email to – lloyd@diversityofthought.co.nz.

Application of policy
By accessing and using this website, or by using our services or  otherwise providing your information to us, you confirm your consent to  our collecting, storing, using, and disclosing your personal information  in the manner set out in this privacy policy.

We reserve the right to change this privacy policy from time to time  by publishing the revised privacy policy on our website. Please check  this privacy policy regularly for modifications and updates. If you  continue to use this website or services or if you provide any personal  information after we make changes to this privacy policy, this  constitutes your acceptance of those changes and the updated privacy  policy.

Applicable law
The protection of the personal information to the extent that you  provide it to Coligo Consulting either via our website, by email, or otherwise,  and whether in connection with activities including consultancy, the DOT Scorecard, sending you marketing  information about our  news and updates, services, products, social media pages, and other  activities, is governed by New Zealand legislation, including Privacy Act 1993 and the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 (the “anti-spam” law).

The Privacy Act 1993 contains a set of information privacy  principles, based on the OECD Guidelines, which take a similar approach  to many international privacy and data protection laws. The principles  are applied by law in a broad range of circumstances. The principles  apply to all “personal information”, which means any information about  an identifiable living individual. The principles apply to personal  information in whatever form it is held, whether electronic, manual or  otherwise. They also apply to the collection, holding, use and  disclosure of personal information, control the use of unique  identifiers, and confer access and correction rights.

GDPR
Coligo Consulting does not process the personal data of individuals who are  located within the European Union other than in connection with those  individuals’ use of this website, and in the Coligo Consulting's view does not  specifically offer goods and services to individuals within the European  Union in a manner that would mean that Coligo Consulting is subject to the EU’s  General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

Coligo Consulting follows its legal obligations under the laws applicable in  New Zealand. The European Commission has declared New Zealand’s privacy  laws to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data, such  that New Zealand forms part of a ‘white list’ of countries to which  personal data may be freely transferred from the EEA.

Use of your personal information
We may use the personal information that you provide to us for the following purposes:

Maintaining an inquiry database 

Responding to requests for information

Providing services such as the DOT Scorecard

Disclosure of personal information
We may share your personal information with our staff, leadership team,  and advisory board. Your information may also  be disclosed to our suppliers, business partners, and other third  parties associated with the Coligo in order to undertake the operation of  our business.  This may include, but not exclusively;  allowing a service to be performed, processing  of payments, conducting market research and surveys in order to improve  the level of services provided to our customers.

We will not otherwise use or disclose your personal information  except to the extent we are permitted to do so under the Privacy Act.
