Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 April 2025 | Governed by: New Zealand Privacy Act 2020

1. Who We Are

Astronyva.com ("Astronyva", "we", "us", "our") is a free social entertainment website operated for New Zealand users. We are committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 (NZ) and the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) contained within it.

2. What Information We Collect

Because Astronyva requires no account registration, we collect minimal personal information. We may collect:

• Contact form data: Name, email address and message content when you voluntarily submit our contact form
• Technical data: Browser type, device type, IP address, pages visited and time spent — collected automatically via server logs
• LocalStorage data: Age confirmation and cookie consent preferences stored locally in your browser (never transmitted to our servers)

We do not collect financial information of any kind. No payment details, no bank information — because Astronyva is entirely free to use.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To respond to enquiries submitted via our contact form
• To analyse site performance and improve user experience
• To enforce our 19+ age restriction and terms of use
• To comply with our legal obligations under New Zealand law

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to any third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Cookies & LocalStorage

Astronyva uses browser localStorage to remember your age confirmation and cookie consent. These are stored locally on your device and are never sent to our servers. For full details, see our Cookie Policy.

5. Third-Party Services

Our game (Wild Shark) is embedded via an iframe from free-slots.games. When you interact with the game iframe, the third-party provider may collect technical data according to their own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing their policy separately. Astronyva has no control over third-party data practices.

6. Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months for correspondence purposes, then securely deleted. Technical log data is retained for up to 6 months for security and performance analysis.

7. Your Rights Under the Privacy Act 2020 (NZ)

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:

• Request access to personal information we hold about you (IPP 6)
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information (IPP 7)
• Make a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner if you believe we have breached the Act

To exercise your rights, contact us at: hello@astronyva.com

8. Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect your information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access, consistent with IPP 5 of the Privacy Act 2020. All data in transit is protected via HTTPS encryption.

9. Children's Privacy

Astronyva.com is strictly for users aged 19 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 19. If we become aware that a minor has submitted information to us, we will delete it immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of Astronyva after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

11. Contact the Privacy Commissioner

If you have concerns about how we handle your data, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (NZ) at privacy.org.nz or on 0800 803 909.
