Privacy
wecare.kiwi is a Covid-19 response service from Carers NZ and IHC, helping New Zealanders who need support. To provide support, the wecare.kiwi partnership collects personal information such as name, contact information, location, interactions with us, and what types of help you might need. We collect your personal information in order to provide support that you have asked for and keep you up to date with developments (unless you don’t want these updates). Besides our staff we share this information with IHC volunteers and others in our support networks to provide the assistance you have asked for. We will only ask for the information we need. Let us know if there is some information you don’t want to share. If you choose not to give us some information, this might change the services we can provide. We keep your information safe by storing it in password protected computers and only allowing some staff to access it. If you’d like to request a copy of your information or have it corrected, please contact Carers NZ on centre@carers.net.nz or 0800 777 797, or IHC on privacy@ihc.org.nz or 0800 442 442.
