We take your privacy seriously and have only requested personal information relevant to determining whether your qualifications and professional profile means you are selected for this intake for Te Ara Pōtiki. We also collect some information required for relevant administrative authorities in New Zealand and the United States. We may also collect information that is not mandatory and you can choose to provide this. A decision to provide information or to opt-out will not have any impact on your selection. 

We will, at all times, comply with the Privacy Act 2020. This means that only Te Ara Pōtiki workers acting on behalf of Te Ara Pōtiki that are involved in the application process(es) will have access to this personal information and only to the extent necessary to fulfil their respective tasks. If we disclose your personal information to an overseas entity (for example, for visa purposes), the personal information will be protected in a way that is overall comparable to the safeguards here in New Zealand. We will also ensure your personal information is secured to ensure confidentiality. 

You have the right to request access to your personal information and correct any personal information. Please contact us if you would like to do so.
