Privacy Statement

Updated October 2026

The Wellbeing Sessions is an independent information website. This statement explains what information is collected when you use it, and what your rights are.

What we do not do

Information you send us

If you use the contact page, you give us your name, email address, a subject, and your message. The form sends these to the site operator by email, using a third-party form-to-email service (FormSubmit). We use this information only to read and reply to your message and to make corrections.

Website analytics and cookies

We use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics (Rybbit) to understand which pages are visited. We also use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, which may set cookies or collect device and usage information such as pages viewed and approximate location. You can limit this by changing your browser settings or using a tracking blocker.

Quick exit widget

Pages include the Shielded Site widget, which helps you leave the site quickly. It is loaded from a third-party server, so that server may receive basic technical information such as your IP address when a page loads.

How long we keep information

Messages sent through the contact page are kept only as long as needed to reply or make a correction. Analytics data is kept by the analytics providers under their own settings.

Your rights

Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 you can ask to see the personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct it. To do this, use the contact page.

Links to other websites

Guides and practices link to other websites, such as health and support services. Those sites have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for them.

Questions or concerns

Please get in touch through the contact page. If you believe your privacy has been breached you can also contact the Privacy Commissioner.

Changes to this statement

We may update this statement from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
