For users browsing the website, we only use personal information in order to improve the website’s performance, improve the content we’re offering so it’s most relevant to how people use the website and what they’re looking for, make sure the website is as accessible as possible, and for communicating with you if you contact us using the form on our contact page. You can choose to disclose personal information to us when you use the form on our contact page. In the contact form, we ask for your email address so we can respond to your query if appropriate, but we won’t use your email address for any other purpose. Your email address won’t be shared with anyone outside of ERANZ. This information is sent to ERANZ by Squarespace, is held by ERANZ (not by Squarespace), and can be viewed by ERANZ staff. You shouldn’t send sensitive information in submission forms.

Authorised EnergyMate partners can refer households, family, and whānau for participation in the EnergyMate pilot programme through this website. That data is covered by a separate privacy policy found here. All personal information held by ERANZ is held in a secure, encrypted database.
