The New Zealand Chinese Medicine Development Trust (“the Trust”) respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 2020.

What we collect

This website does not use forms, accounts, tracking or advertising cookies. We only receive personal information when you choose to give it to us, for example when you:

• ask for a donation receipt (name, amount, date and payment reference)

How we use it

We use your information only to reply to you, to issue donation receipts, to keep accurate financial records as required of a registered charity, and to contact you about matters you have asked about. We do not sell or share your information with anyone else, except where required by law (for example, Inland Revenue requirements).

Storage and security

Records are kept securely by the Trustees and retained only as long as needed for the purposes above and for legal and tax record-keeping.
