Privacy Policy

Last updated: 14 September 2026

NZ Solar is a solar quote matching website for homeowners across New Zealand. This policy explains what personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and how you can ask to access or correct it.

NZ Solar receives enquiries through its quote and contact forms rather than listing direct personal contact details.

Information We Collect

When you submit a quote request, we may collect:

your name, phone number, email address, suburb or postcode;
your power bill range, roof/property type, solar goals and timeframe;
any information you include in later emails or calls with us;
basic technical information collected by hosting, email or form services, such as submission time, browser information and IP address.

Why We Collect It

We collect this information so we can:

respond to your quote request;
understand whether your property looks suitable for solar quotes;
contact you about your enquiry by email, phone or text;
introduce you to suitable solar installers if you want quotes;
keep records needed for administration, compliance and dispute handling.

You do not have to submit the quote form. If you choose not to provide the requested contact and property details, we may not be able to assess the enquiry or help with installer introductions.

Sharing Your Information

If you request installer quotes, we may share relevant quote request details with suitable solar installers so they can contact you and provide pricing or advice. We do not sell your information for unrelated marketing.

Installers who receive enquiry details are independent third parties. They are responsible for their own privacy handling, quotes, site checks, installation work, warranties and aftercare.

We use Formspree to process quote requests and contact enquiries. The information you submit passes through this third-party service, is stored in our Formspree account and may be delivered to us by email. Formspree uses spam protection, which may include a verification step. See Formspree's privacy policy. We also keep the enquiry emails needed to respond and manage your request.

Website Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use NZ Solar, including page views, traffic sources and website interactions. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects browser and device information. Google may process this information outside New Zealand.

We do not send the personal details you enter in our enquiry forms to Google Analytics. Advertising personalisation and Google signals are disabled in our website tracking configuration. Opening or submitting a form is measured separately from a confirmed quote request.

Read how Google uses information from websites. You can block analytics cookies through your browser or use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Marketing Messages

We may contact you about the enquiry you submitted. If we send commercial electronic messages, we will identify ourselves and give you a way to opt out or unsubscribe, as required by New Zealand law.

Storage And Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, unauthorised access, misuse or disclosure. Information may be processed by website hosting, email or form-handling providers. Some providers may store or process information outside New Zealand.

Access, Correction And Deletion

You can ask for access to personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it if it is wrong. You can also ask us to delete your enquiry information where we no longer need to keep it.

How Long We Keep It

We keep enquiry information only for as long as needed for quote matching, follow-up, administration and compliance. Test enquiries should be deleted once they are no longer needed.
