    INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

    Non-identifiable web traffic data

    When you browse our webpages, our system automatically logs information about your visit such as the date and time of your visit, the server your computer is logged on to, your browser type (for example, Internet Explorer, Chrome or Firefox), previous site visited, pages accessed, your total visit time and your IP address.

    An IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer automatically and required for using the Internet. We may also derive the general geographic area associated with an IP address. Unless you register for one of our online services, or otherwise contact us, we do not collect personal information such as your name and address. We do however use "cookies". A cookie is a message given to a web browser by a web server. The browser stores the message in a text file. The message is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. In addition, if you access an online service maintained by Computershare or one of its subsidiaries (for example, the Investor Centre service which is managed by Computershare Investor Services Limited (company number 396101)) we may use tracking software provided to us by a third party service provider including Google Analytics (you can learn more about Google Analytics by reading Google Analytics Terms of Use and Google Privacy Policy).

    Computershare uses the information that it collects via cookies and tracking software to help us improve our website. We own the data that is generated, and it will not be shared with any other party for any other purpose except as set out in this privacy statement. The information is used to determine how many users visit our webpages and how often and how such visitors interact with our webpages. The information is also used in fault finding, determining hacking attempts and it may be accessed for law enforcement reasons. We do not attempt to identify users from this information unless we are investigating a problem for that user. We do not combine the information collected with personally identifiable information. That is, the data is not used to identify individual users or associate them with their IP address or with any other data held by Computershare or any data held by our third-party service providers. We only use the data collected to record, on a completely anonymous basis, information such as mouse clicks, mouse movements, scrolling activity as well as non-personally identifiable information text you type in our webpages. The data is not used to create any user profiles for the purpose of tracking users across unrelated websites.

    You can generally configure your web browser to accept cookies, reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is sent. You should refer to the help menu of your web browser if you require details as to how this can be done. You can opt out of Google Analytics if you disable or refuse the cookie, disable JavaScript, or use the opt-out service provided by Google. To opt out of being tracked by other tracking software that we may use, you will need to manage and delete the cookies using your browser settings. You can find further information on Computershare's use of cookies, including the different types we use, by clicking the following link: www.computershare.com/nz/help. If your browser is configured to reject all cookies you will be unable to use our website.

    We may share the information we collect via cookies and tracking software tools with our related entities within the Computershare Group, our service providers who assist us in supplying our services including through data storage solutions, back-up services and IT support, and we may also disclose it to others if required to do so by law.

This information is generally provided to us either directly by securityholders or by Issuers or securities exchanges.

    With some services, you may have to enter information we already hold such as your surname, CSN or (FIN) so we can identify you in order to perform the relevant service.

    If you instruct us to sell all of your securities that are eligible to be sold using the Investor Trade service, we also collect your personal information that you provide online such as name and address details, telephone and mobile numbers, bank account details and e-mail addresses.

    • The primary purpose for collecting personal information is for the maintenance of security register, which our security issuer clients are obliged to maintain under the Companies Act 1993, the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, equivalent overseas statutes or stock exchange listing rules. Personal information collected is also used to facilitate distribution or dividend payments and corporate communications, including Issuers' financial results, annual reports and other information that the Issuers may wish to communicate to their securityholders.
    • Facilitating compliance by Issuers with their legal and regulatory requirements, including disclosure of name, address and holding balance details to companies such as bidders in a take-over context or as otherwise required to meet legal or regulatory requirements of the Issuers.
    • To comply with our regulatory and legal obligations.
