Privacy Policy
Last updated: 22/10/2026
At Calm Connect Therapy, your privacy matters.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information—whether you’re visiting the website or engaging in therapy. It’s written with care and in line with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and the Health Information Privacy Code 2020.

We do not use your information for marketing unless you explicitly opt-in.
4. How We Store It

5. Sharing Your Information
Your information will not be shared with third parties unless:
- You provide explicit consent

7. Website and Cookies
This website does not use cookies for tracking or advertising.
- Visitor statistics: we use Plausible Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. Plausible sets no cookies and collects no personal information, so individual visitors can’t be identified.
- Enquiry form: messages sent through the form are delivered by email using Postmark, an email delivery service. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that the form is being sent by a person rather than an automated program. To prevent misuse, a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address is kept for a short time to limit repeated submissions; it can’t be turned back into your address and is deleted automatically.
- Map: the map on the Contact page is a still image. The interactive Google map only loads if you choose “Show interactive map”, at which point Google may receive your IP address and set its own cookies.
- Fonts: some of the website’s fonts are served by Adobe Fonts, which receives basic technical information (such as your IP address) when a page loads.
The website is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes standard technical information (such as your IP address and browser type) to deliver and protect the site.
