Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 18, 2026
1. Who we are
BARMACY (NZBN/company number: 820557858) is a New Zealand company with its address at 1 AVENUE DES MATELOTS,, 34300 AGDE,, France. It operates celestiel.online as an independent informational website about sports betting in New Zealand. The site is editorial in nature: it does not operate betting or gambling services, does not accept bets or deposits, and does not process payments. Questions about this policy can be directed to us at [email protected].
2. Applicable law
Personal information that we collect or hold is handled in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020 (New Zealand) and the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) set out in that Act. These obligations apply to us as the organisation responsible for the information. Where personal information is disclosed to an overseas recipient, we apply the safeguards for cross-border disclosure that the Act requires where relevant.
3. Information we collect
- Browsing data (IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring URL)
- Cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy)
- Information you provide via contact forms (name, email, message)
In practical terms, when you visit the site our hosting and logging systems record technical browsing details such as your IP address, the browser and device you use, the pages you view, and the address of the site you arrived from. We use these details to keep the site running and to understand general usage patterns. If you fill in a contact form, we receive whatever you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and the message itself.
We do not collect financial information, gambling activity data, or other sensitive personal information through this website. The site is intended for adults only, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.
4. Purpose of collection (IPP 1)
We collect personal information only for purposes that are lawful and fair: to operate and improve the website, to analyse how the site is used, to respond to enquiries, and to comply with legal obligations. Under the Privacy Act 2020 (IPP 1), this means the purposes must be ones that a reasonable person in your position would expect us to collect the information for.
5. Source and notification (IPP 2–3)
Information is collected either directly from you, for example when you submit the contact form, or indirectly and automatically, through cookies and analytics. When we collect information directly, we aim to make you aware of the purpose of the collection, the intended recipients of the information, and your rights of access and correction. In limited situations where direct notification is not practicable, we aim to make the information readily available to you.
6. Use and disclosure (IPP 10–11)
We do not use or disclose personal information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was collected, unless you authorise the use or disclosure, the information is publicly available, or the use or disclosure is required by law. This applies both to any secondary use of the information and to any disclosure of it to third parties (IPP 10–11). We do not sell personal information to anyone.
7. Storage and security (IPP 5)
While personal information is in our possession or control, we take reasonable steps to protect it from loss, unauthorised access, collection, use, modification, or disclosure, and from misuse. These steps include appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards. When information is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected, we take reasonable steps to securely destroy it or permanently anonymise it.
8. Access and correction (IPP 6–7)
You may request to see the personal information we hold about you, or to have it corrected. To make a request, contact us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 20 working days. Where the information you ask us to correct is inaccurate, we will take reasonable steps to correct it so that it is accurate and up to date. In limited cases, a request may be declined where the law allows this.
9. Disclosure outside New Zealand (IPP 12)
Some service providers we use may process data outside New Zealand. Where that happens, we apply comparable privacy safeguards as required by applicable law: we take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient is bound by legal obligations that are substantially the same as, or effectively equivalent to, the Information Privacy Principles, or is otherwise subject to a comparable privacy regime.
10. Cookies
This site uses cookies and similar technologies, including essential cookies needed for the site to function and analytics cookies that help us understand how the site is used. Details of which cookies we use and for what purpose are set out in our Cookie Policy. You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.
11. Third-party links
Our website may link to third-party sites, including operator sites such as TAB NZ. When you follow a link, you are subject to that site's own privacy practices. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and a link on our site should not be read as an endorsement of them. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any third-party site before providing personal information there.
12. Complaints
If you have a concern about how we handle personal information, contact us first at [email protected] and we will try to resolve it. You may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, which handles privacy complaints in New Zealand: privacy.org.nz, phone 0800 803 909.
13. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time as our practices or the law change. The current version is always published on this page, and the last-updated date at the top of the page shows when it was last revised.
