Sense & Wander Magazine respects your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we collect through senseandwandermagazine.com, why we collect it, and how we look after it.
Sense & Wander Magazine is an independent publication based in Westport, New Zealand. For privacy enquiries, contact us at editor@senseandwandermagazine.com
Information we collect
We may collect:
- Your name and email address when you subscribe, create a member account or contact us.
- Information you choose to send us, such as an advertising enquiry, a story idea, photographs or correspondence.
- Information about your subscription preferences and interactions with emails we send.
- Information about visits to our website, such as pages viewed, referral sources and general location.
You can read the public parts of our website without giving us your name or email address. If you choose not to provide the information needed for a subscription or enquiry, we may be unable to provide that service or respond to you.
How we use your information
We use personal information to manage subscriptions and member access, send emails you have chosen to receive, respond to enquiries, consider editorial submissions, arrange advertising, and understand which stories interest our readers. We may also use it to maintain the security and operation of the website and meet our legal obligations.
We will not sell your personal information.
Emails and subscriptions
If you subscribe to emails from Sense & Wander, you can unsubscribe using the link in an email or contact us at editor@senseandwandermagazine.com. Unsubscribing from editorial emails may not stop essential messages about your account or a service you have requested.
Our publishing platform may provide information about email delivery, opens and link clicks. We use this to understand how our emails perform and improve what we send.
Website analytics and cookies
Our website uses Ghost’s built in analytics to understand visits and readership. Its website analytics do not use cookies to identify visitors across browsing sessions. When you are signed in as a member, the platform may associate the articles you view with your member account.
The website may use cookies or similar technology needed for features such as signing in and managing a subscription. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, although some site features may then work differently.
Who may receive your information
We use service providers to run our website and deliver emails. They may process personal information on our behalf only as needed to provide those services. We may also share information if you ask us to, if it is necessary to handle an enquiry or submission, or if the law requires it.
Some service providers may store or process information outside New Zealand. Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled in line with applicable New Zealand privacy requirements.
Keeping information safe
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information against loss, unauthorised access, misuse and disclosure. We keep it only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy or to meet legal requirements.
Your rights
You can ask us for access to the personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct it if it is wrong. You can also contact us with a privacy concern. Email editor@senseandwandermagazine.com and include enough detail for us to understand your request.
If you are unhappy with our response, you can contact the New Zealand Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
Links to other websites
Our stories may link to websites run by other organisations. Their privacy practices are their responsibility, so please check their policies when you visit them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the publication and website develop. The latest version will be posted here with its updated date.
