Privacy Policy & Terms

Privacy Policy

Effective date: 29 July 2026
Buildara NZ ("we", "us", "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our website and tools (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information we collect

We collect information you voluntarily provide to us, including:

  • Email address, account identifier and authentication information – when you sign in to use a calculator.
  • Calculator and quote history – measurements, project and material selections, generated material lists and quotes, and any custom rates or notes you save with a quote.
  • Usage data – we may collect anonymous information about how you interact with our calculators (e.g., selected regions, project types) to improve our tools. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

2. How we use your information

We use your information to:

  • Authenticate your account and send requested sign-in links.
  • Provide calculator access, calculate results, and show your own saved quote history.
  • Improve customer support and respond to inquiries.
  • Protect the Service from misuse and maintain its security.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information for marketing purposes. We do not use your sign-in email for marketing unless you separately opt in.

3. Storage and security (Supabase)

We use Supabase to process account authentication and store quote history. Quotes are associated with the signed-in account, and access controls are used so users can access only their own history. While no system is 100% secure, we use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data.

4. Retention and deletion

We retain each saved quote and its related calculator inputs, results, custom rates and notes for 12 months from the date it is created. We retain account information for as long as needed to provide the Service. You may ask us to delete your account information and quote history; we will delete or de-identify it unless we are required to retain it for a lawful purpose.

5. Cookies & tracking

We use essential cookies for functionality (for example, remembering your language preference). With your permission, we also use Google Analytics and Meta Pixel to measure visits, traffic-source attribution, calculator starts and completed calculations. We do not send calculator inputs, results, addresses or financial values to these services. You may reject optional tracking without affecting calculator functionality; you can withdraw consent by clearing this site's data in your browser.

6. Your rights (NZ Privacy Act 2020)

Under New Zealand privacy law, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Ask us to delete your account information and quote history, subject to lawful retention requirements.
  • Complain to the Privacy Commissioner if you believe your privacy has been breached.

To exercise these rights, contact us at info@buildara.nz.

7. Third-party links

Our tools may contain links to external resources (e.g., market benchmarks). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified via a notice on our website or by email.

Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 29 July 2026

Welcome to Buildara NZ. By accessing or using our website and tools (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Use of the tools

Buildara NZ provides AI-assisted property development calculators, estimators, and market insights for informational purposes only. The results are estimates based on general market data (REINZ, Cotality, Rawlinsons) and user inputs. They do not constitute financial, legal, or professional advice. You should consult qualified professionals before making any property investment or construction decisions.

2. Account access

To access features that require an account, you must sign in with a verified email address. We use that email to send requested sign-in links and to associate your saved quote history with your account. You are responsible for the security of your device and active sign-in session.

3. Intellectual property

All content, design, branding (Buildara NZ™), and underlying code are owned by Buildara NZ. You may not reproduce, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the Service without explicit written permission. However, you are free to use the calculators for personal or internal business projects.

4. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by New Zealand law, Buildara NZ shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from your use or inability to use the Service, including inaccurate calculations, financial losses, or project delays. The tools are provided "as is" without warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

5. Prohibited activities

  • Attempting to bypass the email unlock mechanism or abuse the free tier.
  • Using automated scripts to harvest data or emails.
  • Uploading malicious code or interfering with the website's functionality.

6. Third-party services

We use Supabase to process account authentication and quote history; its terms apply to that data processing. Our website may also link to external resources (e.g., construction cost references). Buildara NZ is not responsible for the content or availability of such third-party sites.

7. Governing law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Auckland, New Zealand.

8. Changes to terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be announced via email or site notice.

9. Contact
