Privacy statement

Who we are

This statement is from the Russell Education Foundation, a New Zealand registered charity (CC65322). We follow the Privacy Act 2020 and its information privacy principles.

What we collect

We only collect the personal information you choose to send us. At the moment, that means what you include when you email us, such as your name, your email address and anything you write in your message.

We do not have online forms, accounts or a mailing list on this website.

How we use it

We use your information to reply to you and to deal with what you have asked about. We do not sell your information, and we do not share it with anyone else unless you agree or the law requires us to.

This website

• We do not use cookies, analytics or tracking of any kind.
• Our web host keeps standard server logs (such as IP addresses and the pages requested) to keep the site running and secure.
• Everything on this site, including the fonts, is served from our own web host. Your browser doesn’t connect to any other company when you visit.

How we store and protect it

Emails are kept in our email account, which is protected by a password and two-step sign-in. Only the people who need to deal with your message can see it. We keep your information only as long as we need it, or as long as the law requires.

Seeing or correcting your information

You have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it. To do this, email hello@russelleducation.org.nz. Our founding trustee acts as our privacy officer.

If you have a concern

Please contact us first and we will do our best to put things right. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.

We will update this statement as our work grows, for example when we open applications. The latest version will always be on this page.
