4. Data Subject Rights
Data subjects with a residentship in New Zealand have the following rights under the Act:
The right to access information – the right to both:
confirmation as to whether (or not) an agency holds information about that person; and
access to such personal information, where such personal information may be readily retrieved.
The right to correction of information – the right to request correction of information. The agency must, on request or of its own initiative, take steps that are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure (having regard to the purposes for which the information may lawfully be used), the information is accurate, up to date, and not misleading.
Object to direct marketing – while there is not a specific right to object to direct marketing under the 2020 Act, it is worth noting that the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007 (‘UEMA’) prohibits the sending of unsolicited electronic messages (such as SMS or e-mail) for direct marketing purposes. Additionally, under the Telecoms Code, telecommunication information may only be used for direct marketing if the individual has been advised that such authorisation may be withdrawn at any time (Rule 10 of the Telecoms Code).
Rights not included in the 2020 Act
There is no express right to object to processing in New Zealand. If the information had yet to be provided by the individual, then she/he may refuse to provide the relevant information (provided it is being collected directly), or otherwise complain of an interference to privacy to either the OPC or the agency itself.
Note that there is no broad right to data portability in New Zealand. For completeness, there is ‘number portability’ whereby local and mobile numbers may be transferred, which is regulated under different legislation outside the scope of this Guidance Note (the Telecommunications Act 2001).
Similarly, there is not a ‘right to be forgotten’ or ‘right to erasure’ in New Zealand. It is arguable that an individual may request their information to be corrected (as described above), and such a correction may constitute deletion of information, but this is not typically what is thought of when referring to a right to be forgotten. However, of note in this area is the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015, which aims to deter, prevent, and mitigate harm to individuals caused by digital communications (often known as ‘cyber-bullying’), and provide victims with efficient means of redress. This can involve a court takedown order, requiring harmful digital communications to be removed.
Data subjects with a residentship in Canada have the following rights under the Privacy Act:
The right to access information – the right to both:
confirmation as to whether (or not) an agency holds information about that person; and
access to such personal information, where such personal information may be readily retrieved.
The right to correction of information – the right to request correction of information. The agency must, on request or of its own initiative, take steps that are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure (having regard to the purposes for which the information may lawfully be used), the information is accurate, up to date, and not misleading.
In addition to the access and correction rights you may be entitled to exercise the right to:
- object to the processing of your personal data (for instance, where we base the processing on our legitimate interests and we will stop processing your data. Except for processing related to direct marketing, we may resume processing if we can show legitimate grounds that override your rights.
- request the restriction of processing of your personal data (for instance, if the data is not accurate and needs to be updated). This can also be done for data where the purposes of processing no longer apply, but you still need the data and do not want us to erase it.
- request erasure of your personal data (for instance, if it’s no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, if you have withdrawn consent or there is no other legal basis for processing, or if you have objected to the processing and our legitimate interests do not override your rights). Certain data may not be erased if we have a requirement to retain it for legal purposes.
- request portability of your own personal data (the transfer of information you have provided to us, to another controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format), if such a request is technically possible to complete.
To exercise these rights, please contact Us and we will respond to your request within 30 days, subject to any legal exceptions, and otherwise in accordance with the law.
You also have the right to file a complaint with the data protection authority in your country.
5. Disclosure of Information
It is very important to us at XcitingSlots to maintain your trust, and we want to be transparent about when and with whom we may share the information we collect from you. The following are the circumstances under which we may share your information:
- With your consent: We may share your contact information with third party marketing partners. It is important to note that when you provide personal information on our site and authorize us to share it with third parties, they may contact you in a variety of ways.

If you choose to opt-in and explicitly consent to receive communications from a particular third-party advertiser, your personal information will be managed in accordance with their own privacy policy.

- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information about our users, including contact information, in response to subpoenas, court orders, legal process, law enforcement requests, and other legal obligations. There are instances where we may be required by law to disclose information or where disclosure is necessary for law enforcement purposes.

8. Transfer of Data Internationally
Please be aware that the information you provide to us or that we collect in the course of your use of the Website may be collected in your country. It is important to note that the privacy and data protection laws in the country to which your information is transferred may not be the same as the laws in your country of residence.
When your personal information is transferred to another country, it is subject to the laws of that country. This means that it may be accessible to the courts, law enforcement and national security authorities of that country without prior notice to you.
By using and visiting our website or providing us with your information, you consent to the collection, transfer, storage and processing of your information internationally.
We always strive to adhere to the highest standards of protection for your information, regardless of where it is located. Your trust is very important to us and we work diligently to ensure the security and confidentiality of your data. If you have any concerns or questions about this, do not hesitate to contact us. We value your privacy and are committed to your satisfaction. Enjoy the benefits of our website with peace of mind.
9. Legal Basis
The key legislation in New Zealand in relation to data protection that we use is Privacy Act 2020 (‘the 2020 Act’). The 2020 Act empowers the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (‘OPC’) to issue codes of practice, which comprise part of the privacy law in New Zealand. The intention of these codes is to modify the operation of the act for specific types of information, or for certain industries. Separate to the 2020 Act, privacy principles can be found within New Zealand’s common law. The New Zealand courts have developed a tort of privacy (i.e. the right of one person to sue another for breach of privacy). The tort of privacy relates to the public disclosure of private facts, where such disclosure would be considered to be highly offensive to a reasonable person of ordinary sensibilities, balanced against the wider public interest (Bradley v. Wingnut Films Ltd [1993] 1 NZLR 415).
Also, according to Canadian legislation and specifically under both the Privacy Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. P-21) and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) (S.C. 2000, c. 5, Assented to 2000-04-13), We collect personal information as defined by section 3 of the Privacy Act.
