As per the FTC (the Federal Trade Commission), this page is necessary for ChurNewZealand.com to fall into line with bureaucracy.
Why?
This website earns some money. As do millions of other websites on the internet
If you weren’t aware, websites cost money. And while some are a labour of love, a lot of website owners want to earn income from their site. So as you browse the web, assume that the website makes some money in some fashion (there are literally dozens of ways for people to earn money).
The information below will let you know all this and more, as specific to ChurNewZealand.com
AFFILIATES
Affiliates are when a website earns a commission from a third-party website for promoting its products. In almost all cases, the products the person buys won’t cost more money than the regular price. Instead, some of the profits from the products are distributed to ChurNewZealand.com. They track this by using a unique link identifier on a URL, or with a unique bonus code entered at the time of purchase.
Affiliate earners:
- Skinny.co.nz – If you use my coupon code when you credit an account with Skinny, I’ll receive some Skinny credit at no cost to you.
- Amazon.com – Chur New Zealand is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.
- BookMe.co.nz – If you click on a link that refers you to BookMe.co.nz and book a tour/experience through them, I may receive a commission.
- AvantLink.com- I have registered with some companies (MacPac) that have affiliate agreements with AvantLink.com who I may earn a commission from if you buy certain products.
- Booking.com – If you click on a link that refers you to Booking.co.nz and book a tour/experience through them, I may receive a commission.
- Agoda.com – If you click on a link that refers you to Agoda.co.nz and book a tour/experience through them, I may receive a commission.
- Klook.com – If you click on a link that refers you to Klook.co.nz and book a tour/experience through them, I may receive a commission.
- GetYourGuide.com – If you click on a link that refers you to GetYourGuide.co.nz and book a tour/experience through them, I may receive a commission.

I can tell you to trust me, that’s up to you. But I, Jub, will do everything within my rights to protect your privacy when you’re browsing ChurNewZealand.com.
The below information details what personally identifiable info the site collects, and how it is used.
LEAVING A COMMENT
When you leave a comment on the website, you’re entering your name and email address. Your email address won’t be visible publically, and won’t be added/sold to any company, nor added to the email list for ChurNewZealand.com. Your name will be publicly displayed with your comment.
SUBSCRIBING/RECEIVING FREE DOWNLOADABLES
If you subscribe or enter your details for a free download, your details, name (where applicable) and email address will be added to the ChurNewZealand.com email address. Currently, emails are collected via Sumo.com and emails are sent via MailChimp.com. Neither of these websites have access to your details and are well-respected companies that will not compromise your data.
You can unsubscribe from the email list at any time by clicking on the unsubscribe button in the emails, or emailing me jub@churnewzealand.com
The emails do contain a tracking pixel. This helps me analyze the success of emails via looking at:

THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS
These third-parties allow me to operate ChurNewZealand.com. I don’t choose any company willy-nilly, I make sure they’re trusted by my colleagues, others I respect, and I’ve gotten to know the company a little. These are the providers I use:
Google Analytics – I use Google Analytics to track website activity. They let me know how many people browse the website and what the most popular pages are, and a whole lot more. Google Analytics can track your IP address, but they don’t get any of your personal data.
MailChimp.com – As mentioned, they’re used to send newsletters and free downloads. On MailChimp.com I store your name and email address. You can learn more about MailChimp.com on its privacy policy.
Sumo.com – They help me create the contact forms you see on this website. Again, they store your name and email address, but cannot access it themselves (their privacy policy).
