Privacy Policy
This policy explains how takeadayoff.co.nz (the “Site”) collects, uses, and protects your information. By using the Site you acknowledge this policy; if you disagree, please stop using the Site.
Information we collect
Information you voluntarily provide in the planner (preferences, free-text notes, selected region and dates, etc.) is processed only as needed to generate and display itineraries.
If you use save/register features, we may collect identifiers such as your email and a salted hash of your password—we do not store passwords in plain text.
Like most sites, hosting and network infrastructure may create server logs (e.g. IP, user agent, time and path) for security and troubleshooting.
Analytics & cookies
We may use privacy-friendly analytics (e.g. Plausible) or common tools (e.g. Google Analytics) to understand traffic; scripts load only when the corresponding environment variables are enabled.
If we add advertising or additional third-party tracking, we will update this policy and provide notice where practical.
Third parties & AI generation
When you configure a third-party OpenAI-compatible API, inputs (including your preferences and contextual summaries) are sent to that provider to generate itineraries; their practices are governed by their own terms and privacy policy.
Weather and road snippets come from public APIs; we display summaries only and do not use them to identify you personally.
For attribution, licences, and commercial-use boundaries (Open-Meteo, DOC, NZTA, Google Maps), see the Disclaimer & third-party attribution page.
Storage, security & retention
Data is primarily stored with your hosting provider (e.g. Netlify) and any linked database region. We apply reasonable safeguards, but no internet transmission is perfectly secure.
We retain information only as long as needed for the stated purposes; you may request deletion where applicable law allows.
New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 & other laws
Where we offer services to people in New Zealand or otherwise engage in activities regulated there, we aim to meet transparency expectations under the Privacy Act 2020, including explaining how personal information is collected, used, held, and disclosed.
If other regimes (e.g. GDPR) apply to you, you may have additional statutory rights; we will respond where law and resources reasonably allow.
Your rights & contact
Where applicable law provides rights of access, correction, or erasure, you may contact us to exercise them.
Questions about this policy: use contact details published on the Site when available, or any product feedback channel you already use.
