Wycliffe NZ Privacy Policy
Wycliffe Bible Translators New Zealand (“WycliffeNZ,”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy outlines our commitment to you regarding how we collect, protect and process the personal information provided to us through this website (www.wycliffenz.org (the “Site”)). By using this Site, you agree that you have read, understood and accepted the use of your information as set forth below in this Privacy Policy.
We always welcome your questions and comments. Our contact details are listed at the end.
Information we collect
Wycliffe NZ collects two types of information about you on the Site:
1. Personal Information – Information you provide through optional, voluntary submissions throughout the Site. This information is collected to fulfil your
requests according to the purpose on the page where it is submitted.
2. Aggregate user information – information through aggregated Site tracking tools. This information does not include your personal information, but is
instead limited to information such as: (a) the server your computer is logged onto and IP address, (b) your browser type (e.g., Google Chrome or Internet
Explorer), and (c) the pages you view. This information allows us to assess trends in the use of our Site and improve functionality and the service we provide.

This Site contains links to other sites to provide you with relevant resources. However, please be aware that WycliffeNZ is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites outside the wycliffenz.org domain.
How we use your information
Cookies
Like most websites, our Site uses cookies. A cookie is piece of data stored on your device containing information about your use of a website. It has no ability to read data on your computer or instruct it to perform any step or function. Cookies are used to analyse usage patterns, enhance your browsing experience, and support essential features on the Site. A cookie does not extract any personally identifiable information, such as your name or address.
Essential Cookies
We use essential cookies on our website for site security, login authentication, and protecting against fraud. These cookies are set automatically by our website platform (Squarespace) and cannot be disabled, as they are necessary for the secure operation of the site. In addition, our Site is integrated with third-party services, Windcave and Stripe, to process donations or payments made through the Site. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to facilitate payment processing, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations. These cookies are controlled by the respective providers, so we recommend reviewing their privacy policies for more information:
Non-Essential Cookies
We use some non-essential cookies to identify how the website is being used and where we can make improvements. Some pages may include embedded content from other providers (such as YouTube) and these may also store cookies. When you first visit our site, there will be a pop-up which gives you the choice of blocking non-essential cookies. You can control, disable, or delete cookies through your browser’s settings. In Google Chrome, you can find these functions by navigating to your browser settings, then click “Privacy and security”, then “Cookies and other site data”. However, blocking cookies may have a negative impact upon the usability of some websites, such as online donations.
How we store your information
Security
Your personal information is only used by authorised WycliffeNZ staff, unless the purpose for which it was collected involves a trusted external provider or partner organisation (see ‘Sharing information with third parties’ below). We do not store your credit or debit card details. These are passed securely to trusted payment processors (Windcave and Stripe). We may hold bank account details for the purpose of collecting direct debits in order to identify your payment. Details of our donors or contacts will not be sold, exchanged or rented to third parties.
Sharing information with third parties
We will not sell, trade or rent any personal information to third parties. We may need to share information with trusted external suppliers or partners for the
purposes of our arrangement. Only necessary information is shared, and it can not be used by them for any other purpose.
These arrangements include:
- Names and addresses shared with our postal mailing provider (Orangebox)
- Contact information and records stored using our customer relationship
management service provider.
- Donation details shared with a secure payment processor (Windcave or
Stripe). This data is used solely for processing your donation and is subject to
the companies’ own Privacy Policies (Windcave’s Privacy Policy; Stripe’s Privacy Policy).
- Applicant or inquirer information may be forwarded to one of WycliffeNZ’s partner organisations to answer a request, or to determine suitability for training or service with an overseas entity.
- Donor information may be shared with the relevant member or partner organisation to notify them of your support (unless you have specifically requested for the donation to be anonymous). In exceptional circumstances, we may need to disclose information if required by law, in an emergency, or if we believe such action is necessary (such as investigating technical problems or fraudulent activity).
Updating your information and preferences
To change how we communicate with you, or request to see or update the information we hold, please contact us through the Update My Details or Contact Us page on this Site, or with the contact details below. You can also update your communication preferences at any time using the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any WycliffeNZ mailing email.
Changes to this policy
WycliffeNZ reserves the right to change or modify this policy. When updates are made, the Privacy Policy version date (located below) will also be updated to reflect that a revision occurred. We encourage you to periodically revisit this Policy to see if there have been any changes that may affect you. This Statement is not intended to and does not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.
