Privacy Policy and Data Protection Framework

This Privacy Policy articulates how AXIS HEALTH LIMITED ("we," "our," or "the Publisher"), governing the digital domain axishealth.site, collects, manages, and safeguards information obtained from visitors ("you"). We operate in strict compliance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and international data protection standards.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimal data required to deliver reliable educational content and maintain website security:

• Direct Inquiries: When you send correspondence to [email protected] or use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message contents solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Technical Telemetry: Like most web servers, our infrastructure logs standard non-personally identifiable metrics, including IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, referring URLs, and timestamps to ensure network resilience and prevent denial-of-service disruptions.

2. Cookies and Storage Mechanisms

Axis Health uses minimal functional cookies strictly necessary for core navigation and interactive calculator states (such as preserving user preferences in our Noise Exposure Dosimeter). We do not deploy invasive third-party cross-site behavioral tracking cookies or advertising networks.

3. Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing

Your data is processed strictly under the following legal bases:

1. To fulfill legitimate administrative and communication requests initiated by you.
2. To uphold technical server security, prevent fraud, and maintain site availability.
3. To comply with regulatory obligations under New Zealand commercial law.

4. Data Retention and Safeguards

Correspondence records are maintained only for as long as necessary to address your communication, after which they are securely purged. We employ industry-standard encryption protocols (TLS/HTTPS) across all public communication channels to prevent unauthorized interception.

5. Third-Party Sharing Restrictions

We never sell, rent, lease, or monetize your personal details. Data is disclosed only under circumstances where required by law enforcement or regulatory authorities pursuant to valid legal process under New Zealand jurisdiction.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you hold the legal right to request access to personal information held about you and to demand corrections if inaccurate. For all privacy inquiries, please contact our Privacy Officer at [email protected] or via registered post to:
