Effective Date: September 2025

At Queenstown Ferries, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we keep it safe.

1. Information We Collect

The Queenstown Ferries website is for informational purposes only. We do not provide online booking services or collect personal information directly through this site.

The only information that may be collected is:

  • Standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and pages visited (via tools such as Google Analytics).

2. Use of Information

We use the limited information collected to:

  • Improve the performance, security, and usability of our website.

  • Understand how visitors engage with our site through anonymised analytics.

  • Respond to enquiries if you contact us directly.

We do not use this information to personally identify you.

3. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use cookies and third-party services (e.g., Google Analytics, Facebook plugins) to gather anonymised usage data.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, although some features of the site may not function as intended.

4. Third-Party Services

Our website may include links or embedded content from third parties such as Facebook. These services may collect information about your interaction with their content. Please review the respective third-party privacy policies for more information.

We do not share or sell any personal information with unrelated third parties.

Your information is stored securely in our systems, and we take all reasonable steps to protect it from loss, unauthorised access, or disclosure. We retain personal information only for as long as it is needed to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.

When personal information is no longer required, we ensure it is safely deleted or anonymised.
