Third-Party Services and International Processing

HaereHub uses third-party service providers to host and operate the platform.

Some information may be stored or processed outside New Zealand through these providers. By using HaereHub, schools and users acknowledge that information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in other countries as reasonably necessary to operate the service.

HaereHub takes reasonable steps to work with reputable service providers and to protect information handled on our behalf.

These providers may process information on our behalf for purposes such as:

  • Application hosting
  • Database hosting
  • Authentication
  • Email delivery
  • System monitoring and security

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, and disclosure.

No online service can guarantee absolute security, but we work to maintain appropriate technical and organisational safeguards.

Access and Correction

Users may request access to, or correction of, their personal information.

In most cases, requests should first be directed to the relevant school.

Where appropriate, HaereHub may assist schools in responding to such requests.

Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain operational records.

Children's Information

HaereHub is provided to schools for managing student transport operations.

Student information is supplied and managed by schools and authorised caregivers. HaereHub does not knowingly collect information directly from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Updated versions will be published within the platform and on the HaereHub website.
