This policy is prepared in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles (IPPs).

1. Information We Collect

Because MusaSchools does not process direct credit card payments on this website, we only collect personal information that is necessary to communicate with you and fulfil your show order enquiries.

- Details regarding your musical or show enquiry (e.g., target performance dates, audience size, or script requests)
Indirect Information Collection (IPP 3A): If we obtain your contact details from a colleague, school administration team member, or publicly available school directory (for example, to follow up on a school script booking), we will handle that information in full compliance with Information Privacy Principle 3A.
Automated & Technical Data: Our website is hosted on the Wix Studio platform. Wix automatically collects basic technical data via cookies and analytics when you visit our site, such as your IP address, browser type, device details, and general website interaction patterns.

Maintain internal business records and ensure the administrative efficiency of MusaSchools.
Maintain website performance, security, and user experience on our Wix Studio platform.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Storage and Data Security (IPP 5)

We take all reasonable steps to safeguard your personal information against loss, unauthorised access, misuse, modification, or disclosure:

Wix Studio Hosting: Our site data is securely hosted through Wix.com infrastructure, protected by industry-standard firewalls, SSL encryption, and secure server architecture.

Service Providers: Technical platform providers (such as Wix Studio) or cloud email services strictly necessary to operate our website and communicate with you.
Legal Requirements: Where disclosure is required or authorised by New Zealand law or a court order.

If any digital service provider stores or processes data outside of New Zealand, we ensure that appropriate cross-border safeguards are in place in accordance with Information Privacy Principle 12.

5. Cookies and Technical Analytics

Our Wix Studio site uses standard cookies to enable basic site functionality, traffic measurement, and administrative security.
