Privacy and Data Handling
Updated for IPP3A Compliance
All communications and information provided are subject to the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. To properly assess your needs and provide you with financial advice, we must collect your personal information.
Direct & Indirect Collection: We generally collect information directly from you. However, under Information Privacy Principle 3A, effective 1 May 2026, you are notified that we also routinely collect personal information about you indirectly from third parties.

Information Sharing with Lenders: To properly conduct our business and facilitate your applications, it is necessary to share your personal information with intended lenders. This includes sharing your information with the lenders on our panel, both banks and non-banks, as well as non-panel lenders, such as institutional and sophisticated investors.
We do not share your information with any other party without your approval. Upon request, you are allowed access to any information held about you in your file, and you can ask for it to be corrected if it is inaccurate. All mortgage paperwork is securely destroyed after 7 years.
