Last updated: 27 February 2026
FindMyProperty.co.nz ("we", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information you provide
- Account data — When you sign in via Google OAuth or email/password, we receive and store your name, email address, and profile picture (if provided). We use a stable identifier (e.g. Google's
sub) to link your account across sessions. - User content — When you add properties to your Portfolio or save searches to your Watchlist, we store that data linked to your account.
1.2 Automatically collected information
- Usage data — We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymised usage statistics, including pages visited, approximate geographic region, device type, and referral source. This helps us improve the service.
- Cookies and similar technologies — We use cookies and local storage for authentication (e.g. session tokens) and for analytics. You can control cookies via your browser settings.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide and personalise the service (e.g. your Portfolio and Watchlist)

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

- Legal authorities — Where required by law or to protect our rights.

Your account and user-generated data are stored in secure, managed databases (Neon PostgreSQL). Authentication uses industry-standard practices (OAuth 2.0, secure sessions). We take reasonable steps to protect your data but cannot guarantee absolute security.
