1. Introduction & Overview
At LeaveHacker NZ (leavehackernz.net), accessible from https://leavehackernz.net, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by LeaveHacker NZ and how we use it.
LeaveHacker NZ is an independent holiday planning and annual leave calculation utility built for workers in New Zealand. We operate under the principles of the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and international data privacy regulations.

3. Affiliate Partnerships & External Links
LeaveHacker NZ may participate in travel affiliate programs (such as Travelpayouts, Bookabach, or campervan booking services). When you click on an affiliate link and make a reservation or booking, an affiliate cookie may be set by the affiliate network to track referrals. This incurs no additional cost to you and helps support the maintenance of our free tool.
4. Log Files
LeaveHacker NZ follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.
5. Cookies and Web Storage
Like almost all modern websites, LeaveHacker NZ uses 'cookies' and browser Local Storage (localStorage). These are used to store information including visitors' preferences, such as your selected region (e.g., Auckland or Canterbury) and your customized leave allowance. This ensures you do not need to re-enter your preferences every time you visit.
You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. Detailed information about cookie management with specific web browsers can be found at the browsers' respective websites.
6. Children's Information
Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.
