The Post takes your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have under New Zealand law.
What We Collect
We collect very little. If you visit the site, standard server logs record your IP address, browser type, and the pages you view. If you subscribe to The Morning Post newsletter, we store your email address. If you contact us via email, we retain that correspondence.
We do not use tracking cookies beyond what is necessary for the site to function. We do not sell or share personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.
How We Use It
Server logs help us understand how people use the site -- which articles are read, which sections are popular, where traffic comes from. This information is used in aggregate to guide editorial decisions. We do not attempt to identify individual visitors from server logs.
Newsletter email addresses are used solely to send The Morning Post. We do not share your email with anyone else. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in every newsletter.
Your Rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand), you have the right to access any personal information we hold about you, request correction of that information, and request deletion of that information. To exercise these rights, email us at editor@thepost.nz.
Third-Party Services
The site uses Google Fonts for typography, which means your browser makes requests to Google's servers when loading pages. We use standard web hosting infrastructure. We do not use social media tracking pixels, remarketing tags, or third-party analytics platforms that track individual users across websites.
Changes
If we make material changes to this policy, we will note the updated date at the top of this page. We do not anticipate significant changes -- our approach to privacy is straightforward and unlikely to become less so.
