What we collect and where it comes from
We collect only business contact information that you or your organisation have made publicly available in a professional capacity:
- Your name and job title
- Your organisation’s name, website, business address, and phone number
- Your published business email address, or your organisation’s general contact address
- Public information about your organisation’s developments and projects
Sources:your organisation’s website, company and business directories, industry listings (such as New Zealand Institute of Architects practice listings), news coverage, and public consent records.
We do not collect personal (non-work) contact details, and we never guess or generate email addresses. Every email we send states where we found your details.
Why we use it and why we email you
We use your details only to:
- Introduce DEVPRO building systems where they are relevant to your organisation’s work
- Follow up on that introduction if you respond
- Keep a record of our contact with you, including any request not to be contacted
Why we may email you:under the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007, we contact you only where your business email address is publicly published and our message relates directly to your role or your organisation’s business, such as architecture, design, or residential development. We do not email people whose published details say they do not want unsolicited messages.
Every email identifies Devlin Property as the sender and includes a working way to opt out. We do not use your information for unrelated purposes, and we do not sell it or share it for third-party advertising.
Storage, access and retention
| Service | What it holds | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| HubSpot | Contact and organisation records, contact history, opt-outs | Customer relationship management |
| Google Workspace (Gmail) | Emails sent and received | Business email |
| AI assistants | Publicly available information while researching and drafting | Research and drafting support; every email is reviewed by a person before it is sent |
These providers may store information outside New Zealand. We use reputable providers whose security and privacy protections are broadly comparable to those required in New Zealand. Only Devlin Property staff who need your details can access them.
How long we keep it:
- If you don’t respond, we delete or anonymise your details within 12 months of our last contact.
- If you become a client or ask to stay in touch, we keep your details for as long as the relationship continues.
- If you opt out, we keep only your name, email address, and opt-out date, so we never contact you again.
Your rights
- Opt out: reply to any of our emails asking us to stop, or email matt@devlin-property.co.nz. We action opt-outs within 5 working days, and you will not hear from us again.
- Access: you can ask what information we hold about you.
- Correction: you can ask us to correct anything that is wrong.
- Deletion: you can ask us to delete your details (we keep only what we need to honour an opt-out).
We respond to access and correction requests within 20 working days, free of charge.
Complaints: please contact our Privacy Officer first. If you are not satisfied, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz. For concerns about unsolicited emails, you can also contact the Department of Internal Affairs (dia.govt.nz).
Changes: we may update this policy. The date at the top shows when it was last revised.
