Cookies

As you browse the Steph Dyhrberg Barrister website no personally identifiable information about you is collected. I do collect anonymous information on my visitors and their activity on my site for the purpose of providing a better and more targeted service. In particular, the Steph Dyhrberg Barrister website uses “cookies” and collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.

General Data Protection Rules

I have not included any reference to the additional requirements for customers based in European Economic Area, as I do not believe the General Data Protection Rules (GDPR) applies to the Steph Dyhrberg Barrister website. Article 3 of GDPR states ‘2. This Regulation applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or processor not established in the Union, where the processing activities are related to:

  1. the offering of goods or services, irrespective of whether a payment of the data subject is required, to such data subjects in the Union; or
  2. the monitoring of their behaviour as far as their behaviour takes place within the Union.’

Further guidance on this is provided by the New Zealand Law Society which provides ‘all businesses with customers in the European Union or business that merely monitor the behaviours of individuals who live in the EU must abide by the new EU data protection standards.’ I believe Steph Dyhrberg Barrister does not fall into this definition.

Privacy Act 2020

We will comply with the (New Zealand) Privacy Act 2020.

Our Privacy Officer is Steph Dyhrberg from Steph Dyhrberg Barrister.
