Privacy Policy

1. About this policy

PH Capital Advisory Limited (PHCA, we, us) is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who interact with us through this website or through an advisory engagement. This policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights in relation to it.

This policy is made in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand).

2. Information we collect

We collect personal information only when you provide it to us. This occurs primarily through the enquiry process on this website, which may collect your name, company name, email address, and the content of your enquiry.

If an advisory engagement proceeds, we may collect additional information relevant to that engagement, including information about your company, its shareholders, financial position, and commercial circumstances. That information is provided voluntarily in the context of the advisory relationship.

We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. Standard web server logs may record IP addresses and page visits, but these are not used to identify individuals.

3. How we use your information

We use personal information collected through the enquiry process solely to respond to your enquiry and to assess whether an engagement is appropriate.

Information provided in the context of an advisory engagement is used to carry out the services agreed in the mandate letter and for no other purpose.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties. We do not use personal information for marketing purposes without your consent.

4. Disclosure to third parties

We may share information with professional advisers (for example, legal or accounting professionals) where that is necessary to carry out an engagement, and only to the extent required. Those advisers are subject to their own professional obligations of confidentiality.

We may disclose information if required to do so by law or by a regulatory authority.

5. Storage and security

We take reasonable steps to hold information securely, but no transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as fully secure.

We retain personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.

6. Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you, and to request correction of that information if it is inaccurate, out of date, or misleading.

To make an access or correction request, contact us at peter@peterhowell.co.nz. We will respond within the timeframe required by law.

7. External links

This website contains a link to a LinkedIn profile. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of LinkedIn or any other third party website. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

8. Updates to this policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The current version is always available at this address. Continued use of this website following any update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
