Privacy Policy

Who we are

Virgola ("we", "us") is a small web studio based in Golden Bay, New Zealand. This policy explains what information we collect through virgola.co.nz, why we collect it, and how we handle it. If you have questions, get in touch.

Information you give us

When you use a contact form on this site (including the Site Care Plan enquiry form and the website cost calculator), we collect the details you enter — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your enquiry. It's sent to us by email and we don't sell or share it with third parties for marketing purposes.

Automatically collected information

Like most websites, we use analytics to understand how visitors use our site — pages viewed, general location, device type, and referral source. This helps us improve the site and doesn't identify you personally.

Our contact forms use a bot-protection check to prevent spam submissions. This check may process technical information about your browser and connection, but it isn't used to identify you.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies, mainly for analytics purposes described above. See our Cookie Policy for the full list. You can disable cookies through your browser settings — this may affect how some parts of the site work, but won't stop you browsing or contacting us.

How we store and protect information

Enquiry details are sent to our email inbox via a transactional email provider and are not stored in a separate database on our end. Our site runs on fast, reliable hosting with modern security practices.

Your rights

Under New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020, you can ask us what personal information we hold about you and request that it be corrected or deleted. To do so, get in touch.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time as our site or practices change. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
