8. Storage and security
127 recognises the importance of protecting personal information against loss, unauthorised access, misuse, modification and disclosure.
We maintain administrative, technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the information we hold.
These may include access controls, authentication, encryption, security monitoring, staff awareness and incident management processes.
While we take reasonable precautions to protect personal information, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Overseas storage and disclosure
Some of the technology providers or service providers used by 127 may process or store personal information outside New Zealand.
Where personal information is disclosed to an overseas recipient, we will comply with the applicable requirements of the Privacy Act 2020 (as amended), including Information Privacy Principle 12 where relevant.
We will take appropriate steps to protect personal information when engaging overseas service providers.
127 generally seeks to use technology and service providers that support data storage and processing within New Zealand or Australia, where appropriate and available.
Some services, including certain AI-enabled capabilities, may involve processing personal information in other geographic locations. Where this occurs, 127 applies appropriate governance, security and contractual controls, taking into account the nature and sensitivity of the information and applicable privacy obligations.
Where 127 processes personal information on behalf of a customer, any geographic or processing requirements agreed with that customer will continue to apply.
10. Retention of personal information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including meeting applicable contractual, operational and legal requirements.
Where personal information is processed on behalf of customers, retention, return and deletion arrangements may be governed by the applicable customer agreement and associated service requirements.
When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete, destroy or de-identify it, subject to applicable legal retention obligations.
