Privacy Policy

Effective date: 15 June 2026
Buildara ("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 – when you unlock AI features or subscribe to updates.
  • 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 email

Your email is used to:

  • Unlock premium AI insights and full tool access across Buildara.
  • Send occasional product updates, market insights, or new feature announcements (you can opt out anytime).
  • Improve customer support and respond to inquiries.

We never sell, rent, or trade your email to third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Storage and security (Supabase)

We securely store email addresses using Supabase, a GDPR-compliant cloud database hosted on reliable infrastructure. Access is restricted to authorized personnel only. While no system is 100% secure, we implement industry-standard measures to protect your data.

4. Cookies & tracking

We use essential cookies for functionality (e.g., remembering your language preference). No third-party advertising cookies are used. You may disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not work properly.

5. 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.
  • Complain to the Privacy Commissioner if you believe your privacy has been breached.

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

6. 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.

7. 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: 15 June 2026

Welcome to Buildara. 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 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. Email unlock & account

To access advanced features (detailed margin analysis, stress tests, etc.), you must provide a valid email address. By doing so, you agree to receive occasional emails as described in our Privacy Policy. You may request removal at any time. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your local storage (unlock state) and any device you use.

3. Intellectual property

All content, design, branding (Buildara™), and underlying code are owned by Buildara. 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 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 for email storage; their terms apply to the data processing. Our website may also link to external resources (e.g., construction cost references). Buildara 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

For any questions regarding these Terms, please reach out to legal@buildara.nz.
