This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store and disclose personal information when you visit yieldmarket.co.nz, join our launch list, contact us, or otherwise interact with Yieldmarket through our website.
Who we are
Yieldmarket is operated by Yield Market Limited, trading as Yieldmarket.
For privacy questions, requests or complaints, contact:
Information we collect
We may collect personal information directly from you when you use our website.
For example, when you join the Yieldmarket launch list, we may collect your:
email address;
first and last name;
region;
company or business website; and
communication preferences.
We may also collect information you provide when contacting us, requesting information, registering interest in Yieldmarket or communicating with our team.
If additional website services, forms or accounts are introduced, we may collect information reasonably necessary to provide those services.
Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, some technical information may be collected automatically by our website infrastructure and service providers.
This may include information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages visited, referring website, approximate location, date and time of access and information about how the website is used.
We may use this information to operate and secure the website, identify technical problems, understand how people use Yieldmarket and improve our website and services.
Cookies and analytics
Yieldmarket may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website and understand how it is being used.
Cookies are small files stored by your browser that can help websites remember information or measure website activity.
Where we use analytics or similar services, information may be collected about how visitors interact with the website.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how parts of the website operate.
If Yieldmarket introduces advertising, behavioural tracking or other non-essential tracking technologies, we will update this policy and provide any additional choices or notices required.
How we use your information
We use personal information for purposes connected with operating and developing Yieldmarket.
This includes managing the Yieldmarket launch list, sending requested updates and invitations, responding to enquiries, communicating with prospective customers and partners, operating and securing our website, improving our services, maintaining business records and complying with our legal obligations.
If you join the launch list, we may send you emails about Yieldmarket's launch, availability, product developments and related updates.
You can unsubscribe from these communications at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in the message or by contacting us.
Providing your information
You do not have to provide personal information to browse the general public areas of our website.
Some information may be required where you choose to submit a form or request a service. For example, we need an email address if you want to join the Yieldmarket launch list.
If you do not provide required information, we may not be able to provide the requested service or respond to your request.
Information we receive from others
In some circumstances, we may receive personal information about you from another person or organisation.
Where the Privacy Act 2020 requires us to notify you about information collected indirectly, we will take reasonable steps to provide the required information unless an exception applies.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information.
We may provide personal information to service providers that help us operate Yieldmarket, including providers involved in website hosting, cloud infrastructure, email delivery, communications, analytics, security and technical support.
These providers may only receive information reasonably necessary to perform the relevant service.
We may also disclose information where you have authorised us to do so, where disclosure is necessary for the purpose for which the information was collected, or where disclosure is required or permitted by law.
The Yieldmarket apps and trading platform may involve additional sharing with Merchants, Producers, transport providers and other trading participants. That sharing is covered separately in the Yieldmarket App Privacy Policy.
Overseas service providers
Some technology and cloud service providers used by Yieldmarket may store or process information outside New Zealand.
Where personal information is disclosed to an overseas organisation, we will take reasonable steps to ensure the disclosure complies with the Privacy Act 2020, including applicable requirements relating to the protection of information overseas.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against loss, unauthorised access, modification, disclosure or misuse.
This includes using appropriate technical and organisational safeguards, access controls and secure hosted systems.
No internet-based system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. If we become aware of a privacy breach, we will assess and respond to it in accordance with our obligations under New Zealand law.
How long we keep information
We keep personal information only for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected or for legitimate business, dispute-resolution or legal purposes.
Launch-list information may be retained while you remain subscribed or while it remains reasonably necessary to manage the launch programme.
Where information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or make it no longer identifiable.
Some information may remain temporarily within backups or records that we are legally required to retain.
Accessing or correcting your information
You have rights under the Privacy Act 2020 to request access to personal information we hold about you and to ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
To make a request, contact:
We may need to verify your identity before providing or changing personal information.
If we do not make a correction you have requested, you may ask us to attach a statement of correction to the information.
