Privacy policy

Reading the guides and comparing quotes

You can read our guides without giving us any details. If a page has a tool to compare two quotes, the numbers you type stay in your browser. We do not send them anywhere, and they are not added to the check.

What we collect when you send the check

• Your first and last name, phone number and email address.
• Your answers to the check: credit history, main income, deposit and roughly how much you want to borrow.
• The page you first arrived on, the site you came from and the campaign name in the link, if there was one.

Why we collect it

To pass your request to a broker partner so they can contact you about car finance options, to understand which of our pages are useful, and to deal with any complaint or question you raise with us.

Who we share it with

With the broker and lender partners handling your request, and with the service providers that host this site and our systems. We do not sell your details. We only share them for the purpose you gave them to us.

Cookies and tracking

This site does not use advertising or analytics cookies. We use your browser's session storage to remember any figures you entered and the page you arrived on while you move around the site. It is cleared when you close the tab. Our pages load their font from Google Fonts, so your browser contacts Google when a page loads.

How long we keep it

We keep your request for as long as we need it to deal with it and any follow-up, and no longer than the law and good practice allow. Ask us to delete it sooner if you like.

Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020 you can ask to see the information we hold about you and ask us to correct it. Email info@carfinanceguide.co.nz. If you are not happy with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
