If you use the Site you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Terms and agree to be bound by them.

Pasifika TV may change the Terms from time to time. Using any Pasifika TV Site after the Terms have changed means you accept the changed Terms. The Site, and the information on it, is intended for the Pacific and New Zealanders only, although others are welcome to visit the Site. Non-New Zealanders who visit the Site do so of their own initiative and are responsible for obeying their local laws. New Zealand law governs the Site.

All content on the Site is protected by intellectual property rights (copyrights, trade marks or other rights and laws). You need Pasifika TV’s prior written consent to deal with any of the Site content. Pasifika TV takes no responsibility for other sites which may be linked to the Site. If you link to the site it is at your own risk. You use the Site at your own risk. The Site may not always be available, for example, during maintenance or repair. Pasifika TV endeavours to make sure that the content in the Site is correct, but it is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind (either express or implied).

You agree that Pasifika TV will not be liable for your reliance on any information on the Site (even if negligently provided). You also agree that Pasifika TV will not be liable for any damages (direct, incidental, special, consequential, indirect or punitive) resulting from the use of (or inability to use) the Site. You agree that if we are held responsible for any damage or loss, Pasifika TV’s total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort – including but not limited to negligence – or otherwise) will not exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing the Site.

If you are a business using the Site, then you agree that the provisions of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply to your use of the Site or your reliance on the Site.

If you breach the Terms in any way you agree to keep Pasifika TV fully indemnified against all the consequences of your breach.

While we endeavour to keep information and materials on the Site secure and confidential, we are not responsible for any breach of security which is out of our control. We do not warrant that the Site is completely secure.

We respect your privacy and comply with the Privacy Act 1993. We will ensure that all personal information, if any, stays within Pacific Cooperation Broadcasting Limited (owner of Pasifika TV). We may use such information in relation to providing publications, services and information to you. You are entitled to access the personal information we hold about you, and amend it if it is incorrect.

Privacy Policy

At Pasifika TV we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy sets out generally how we may gather, use, disclose and manage personal information.

COLLECTION

During the course of dealing with you, Pasifika TV may collect basic personal information about you, including but not limited to your name, address and contact details.

The Site places a cookie on the hard drive of your computer. A “cookie” is a file which allows us to track and target the interests of users. While we recommend that users enable cookies on their browsers in order to enjoy all the features of the Site, the decision remains in the hands of the individual. (The management of cookies will be Pasifika TV Limited or a nominated party delivering the service on our behalf).

USE OF INFORMATION

We collect information on our users through registration and use of the website, through cookies, where you choose to disclose data in postings, and when participating in surveys, research or related activities.

REGISTRATION

The minimum information we need to register a user is an email address, a password.

We may also ask some further, voluntary questions during registration for certain services so we can gain a clearer understanding of our users. This also enables us to personalise services for our users.

UPDATING PERSONAL INFORMATION

When logged in, there is an option to edit details where you can update your personal information.

SHARE DATA

We will not share your personal information with others for marketing purposes unless you have given us your permission. Any information which is collected by Pasifika TV when you access a third party service is processed under this Privacy Policy. Information collected by third party operators themselves is governed by their own privacy policies.

Please note that we reserve the right to access and disclose personal data to comply with applicable laws and lawful government requests, to operate our systems properly and to protect both ourselves and our users.

We may use service providers to help us run this site or services available on the site. Any third parties who access your data in the course of providing services on our behalf are subject to strict contractual restrictions to ensure that your data is protected, and in compliance with NZ data protection legislation. We may also independently audit these service providers to ensure that they meet our standards.

USE OF COOKIES

We use cookies for a number of reasons:

  1. For statistical purposes to track how many individual unique users we have and how often they visit our website. We collect data listing which of our pages are most frequently visited and by which types of users and their location.
  2. We may use third parties to collect anonymous user information.
  3. Both Pasifika TV and third party advertisers will generate cookies to collect statistical data such as whether a user has seen an advertisement or particular content and if so, how long ago, how many users have seen an advertisement and how many users have seen it more than once.
  4. Placing cookies on your computer means we may be able to serve you adverts that you might be more interested in, and allows us to control the number of times you see them and measure how effective the ad campaign has been.

You can turn cookies off but if you do this you may not be able to use as many services on our website and you might see more pop-ups and other intrusive advertising, as we won’t be able to limit what you see using cookies. You will however still be able to view editorial content.

By using this site you are agreeing to the use of cookies as described.
