Protecting your personal information

Healthbox takes all reasonable steps to ensure that the information it collects is securely safeguarded against loss, unauthorised access, use, modification or any other misuse. Despite taking all reasonable steps, Healthbox does not guarantee that information will not be the subject of unauthorised access, loss or misuse.
Healthbox retains information about an identifiable individual in accordance with the applicable laws, regulations, codes, standards and guidelines. Healthbox does not hold information for longer than is required for the purposes for which the information may lawfully be used.
Healthbox may, at its discretion, notify you if information has become available to unauthorised individuals or organisations. Healthbox reserves the right not to notify an affected individual if circumstances are such that notification is not warranted and/or appropriate.

Accessing and correcting your personal information

Subject to certain grounds for refusal set out in the Act, you have the right to access your readily retrievable personal information that we hold and to request a correction to your personal information. Before you exercise this right, we will need evidence to confirm that you are the individual to whom the personal information relates.

In respect of a request for correction, if we think the correction is reasonable and we are reasonably able to change the personal information, we will make the correction. If we do not make the correction, we will take reasonable steps to note on the personal information that you requested the correction.

If you want to exercise either of the above rights, email us at admin@healthbox.co.nz. Your email should provide evidence of who you are and set out the details of your request (e.g. the personal information, or the correction, that you are requesting).

We may charge you our reasonable costs of providing to you with copies of your personal information or correcting that information.

Internet use

While we take reasonable steps to maintain secure internet connections, if you provide us with personal information over the internet, the provision of that information is at your own risk.

If you follow a link on our website to another site, the owner of that site will have its own privacy policy relating to your personal information. We suggest you review that site’s privacy policy before you provide personal information.
