Apex GP Academy Incorporated ("Apex GP", "we", "us", "our") runs a junior MiniGP pathway and retail store on Auckland's North Shore. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and your rights. It applies to our website apexgp.co.nz, our stores and events, and any lead or enquiry you submit through our advertising, including Meta (Facebook and Instagram) lead ads.
We handle personal information in line with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles. By using our website, buying from us, joining as a member, or submitting your details through a form or advertisement, you agree to this policy.
The organisation responsible for your personal information is:
If you have any question about this policy or how we handle your information, contact us using the details above. You can also message us through our Facebook page or Instagram account, and we will respond to reasonable requests for more information about how we use your data.
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
We do not seek to collect sensitive information beyond what is described above, and we do not knowingly collect information that is prohibited by Meta's Advertising Standards.
We use personal information to:
We only use your information for the purpose it was collected for, or a directly related purpose you would reasonably expect. If we want to use it for something else, we will ask for your consent.
We advertise on Meta platforms (Facebook and Instagram) and may use lead generation features that let you send us your details, such as your name and email address, directly from an ad. When you submit your details through one of our lead ads:
Your use of Meta's platforms is also subject to Meta's own terms and policies. This policy governs how we handle the information you send us.
Our activities are for junior riders, but our website, shop and advertising are directed at parents and guardians, not children. Where we hold information about a rider under 18, it is provided by that rider's parent or legal guardian, who is responsible for consenting on the rider's behalf. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children through our website or advertising. If you believe a child has provided us information without a parent or guardian's involvement, contact us and we will delete it.
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only where needed to run our business or meet the law, including with:
Where we use service providers, we require them to protect your information and to use it only to provide services to us. Some of these providers are based overseas, which means your information may be stored or processed outside New Zealand; where that happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure comparable privacy protection.
We hold personal information in secure systems provided by reputable providers and apply technical and organisational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the data to protect it against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. No system is completely secure, but we work to keep your information safe and to limit access to those who need it.
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy, to run the club and our business, and to meet legal and accounting requirements. When we no longer need it, we securely delete or de-identify it.
Under the Privacy Act 2020 you have the right to:
To make a request, or to unsubscribe from marketing, contact us at George@apexgp.co.nz. We will respond as soon as reasonably possible. If you are not satisfied with how we handle your information or your request, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to make the site work, remember your preferences, and measure our marketing, including tools provided by Shopify and Meta (such as the Meta pixel). You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how the site works.
We will only send you marketing where you have opted in or where the law otherwise allows, and every marketing message includes a way to unsubscribe. You can opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page, with the "last updated" date shown at the top. Significant changes will take effect when we post them.
