Privacy Statement

For volunteers, we collect personal information from you, including information about your:

• name
• contact information

We collect your personal information in order to:

• identify suitable pet therapy volunteers
• to communicate with you

Providing some information is optional. If you choose not to provide the information we request on our application form, we'll be unable to assess you and your dog for pet therapy.

We keep your full information safe by storing it in a centralised database and only allow certain authorised members to access it.

We keep your information for 3 months (after your membership has ceased) at which point we archive the record and store it for a further 6 years.

You have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected, please contact us at secretary@caninefriends.org.nz, or PO Box 45056, Waterloo, Lower Hutt, 5042 New Zealand.
