We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it to us. This includes:

• Sending you information you have asked for about our products and services.
• Improving our website and services.
• Complying with legal and regulatory obligations.

We will not use your personal information for direct marketing without your consent, and we will not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.

4. Disclosure to third parties

We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website and business, strictly for those purposes:

• Resend — email delivery service used to transmit enquiry form submissions to our team. Data is processed in accordance with their privacy policy.
• Cloudflare — provides website security services including Turnstile (CAPTCHA alternative) to protect our contact form from spam. Cloudflare may process your IP address and browser data. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.
• Google Analytics — we intend to use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This involves the collection of anonymised usage data via cookies. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Some of these providers are based outside New Zealand. Where personal information is transferred overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it receives comparable privacy protection to that required under the Privacy Act 2020 (Information Privacy Principle 12).

We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of PB Traffic, our customers, or others.
