Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 March 2026

1. Who We Are

PropertyCalc NZ is operated by Simply Better Reports Ltd (“we”, “our”, or “us”), a New Zealand registered company. Our designated Privacy Officer can be contacted at privacy@propertycalc.co.nz for any privacy-related queries or requests.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us when you:

  • Create an account (email, name, phone number)
  • Use our calculators (property addresses, sale prices, commission details)
  • Subscribe to our paid plan (payment information via Stripe)
  • Contact us for support

Providing your email address and name is required to create an account and use the service. Other information, such as phone number, is optional. If you choose not to provide required information, we may be unable to provide you with access to the service.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our services
  • Process transactions and send related information
  • Send you technical notices and support messages
  • Respond to your comments and questions
  • Comply with legal obligations

We only collect personal information that is necessary for these purposes, in accordance with Information Privacy Principle 1 of the Privacy Act 2020.

4. Data Storage

Your data is stored securely using Supabase, which uses enterprise-grade security measures including encryption at rest and in transit. We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information against loss, unauthorised access, use, modification, or disclosure.

5. Payment Information

Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your credit card information on our servers. Stripe's privacy policy applies to all payment data.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties except:

  • With your consent
  • To service providers who assist in operating our services (Supabase, Stripe, Vercel)
  • To comply with legal obligations

7. Your Rights Under the NZ Privacy Act 2020

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:

  • Access your personal information we hold about you (IPP 6)
  • Request correction of inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information (IPP 7)

In addition, we offer the ability to request deletion of your account and associated data as a service commitment. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@propertycalc.co.nz. We will respond to your request within 20 working days as required by the Privacy Act 2020.

8. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will retain your data for up to 3 months following deletion to allow for account recovery, resolution of any billing queries, and compliance with our legal obligations. After this period, your personal data will be permanently deleted.

Anonymised, aggregated data (such as usage statistics that cannot be linked back to any individual) may be retained indefinitely for the purpose of improving our service.

9. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Your data may be processed and stored outside New Zealand by the following service providers:

  • Supabase: Database infrastructure hosted on AWS in the Sydney (ap-southeast-2) region. Supabase stores and processes data on our behalf and does not use your personal information for its own purposes. As a processor acting under our instruction, this transfer is not considered a “disclosure” under IPP 12 of the Privacy Act 2020.
  • Stripe: Payment processing with servers located in the United States. Stripe is subject to privacy laws that provide comparable safeguards to those in the Privacy Act 2020, and processes payment data under its own privacy obligations as a regulated payment provider.
  • Vercel: Application hosting with edge servers globally, primary infrastructure in the United States. Vercel hosts and serves the application on our behalf and does not use your personal information for its own purposes.

All transfers are conducted in compliance with Information Privacy Principle 12 of the NZ Privacy Act 2020. Where a service provider processes data solely on our behalf (safe custody or processing), we maintain appropriate agreements to ensure your information is protected. Where data is disclosed to a provider operating under its own privacy obligations, we have satisfied ourselves that comparable safeguards are in place.

10. Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain your session and authentication. These cookies are strictly necessary for the service to function and cannot be disabled. We do not use tracking, advertising, or third-party analytics cookies.

11. Breach Notification

In the event of a notifiable privacy breach that is likely to cause serious harm to affected individuals, we will notify those individuals and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner as required by the Privacy Act 2020. We will provide notification as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the breach.

12. Children's Data

PropertyCalc NZ is a professional service designed for licensed real estate agents. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under 16 years of age. If we become aware that we have collected data from a person under 16, we will take steps to delete that information.

13. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate PropertyCalc NZ. Each has their own privacy practices:

  • Supabase — Database, authentication, and storage
  • Stripe — Payment processing
  • Vercel — Application hosting

14. Complaints

If you have a complaint about how we handle your personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer at privacy@propertycalc.co.nz. If you are not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner:

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the “last updated” date. For significant changes, we will also notify you via email or in-app notification. Your continued use of the service after such notification constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
