1. Privacy Statement

Last Updated: January 2026

1. Our Commitment to Your Safety

At Staying Safe and Sane, we understand that for many of our visitors, privacy is not just a preference—it is a matter of safety. We comply with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and have intentionally designed this website to collect as little information as possible.

2. We Do Not Collect Personal Information

We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or physical location.

  • No Forms: We do not use contact forms or registration systems.
  • No Marketing Cookies: We have disabled non-essential cookies. We do not use Facebook Pixels or Google Analytics to track your identity or behavior.

3. Technical Information

When you visit Stayingsafeandsane.nz or Safe-and-sane.com, our New Zealand-based web host automatically logs anonymous technical data. This includes:

  • Your IP address (anonymized where possible).
  • The date and time of your visit.
  • The pages you accessed.

This information is used solely to maintain the security and performance of the website. It is not used to identify individuals and is stored on secure servers located in [e.g., Auckland, New Zealand].

4. Disclosure of Information

Because we do not collect personal information, we have no data to share, sell, or trade. Under the Privacy Act 2020, we would only disclose information to a third party (such as the NZ Police) if required by law to prevent or lessen a serious threat to someone’s life or health.

5. Your Rights

Under the Privacy Act, you have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you. Because we do not collect names or identifiers, we typically hold no “personal information” to provide. However, you can contact our Privacy Officer at stayingsafeandsane@gmail.com with any inquiries.

6. Important Safety Warning

While we do not track you, your web browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.) on your own device will record that you visited this site in its “History.”

Remember to clear your browser history after visiting if it is unsafe for others to know you have been here.

We recommend using our “Quick Exit” button if you are interrupted.

We suggest using “Incognito” or “Private” mode when browsing.
