Switched Homes Ltd
Last updated: 28 May 2026
Switched Homes Ltd ("Switched Homes", "we", "us", "our") operates switchedhomes.co.nz and its related pages. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and protect your personal information, in line with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.
Information we collect
When you submit an enquiry, request a quote, or use a tool on our site (such as a compatibility check or estimate), we collect:
- Your name, email address and phone number
- Your address or suburb
- Details about your home and existing systems relevant to your enquiry (for example, your current alarm brand, garage motor, or the services you're interested in)
- Any other information you choose to give us
We also automatically collect technical and usage information when you visit the site. See "Cookies and tracking" below.
How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Respond to your enquiry and provide quotes or consultations
- Deliver and support the services you request
- Follow up with you about your enquiry
- Improve our website and services
- Measure and target our advertising
Cookies and tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, including the Meta (Facebook) Pixel and Google Tag Manager. These tools collect information about how you use our site, such as pages viewed and actions taken, and share that information with Meta Platforms and Google so we can measure and target our advertising.
This usage data is collected and processed by Meta and Google under their own privacy policies. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and manage ad preferences with Meta and Google directly.
How we store your information and who can access it
The enquiry information you submit is stored in our lead management and CRM platforms, Privyr and Zoho. These are secure third-party cloud services, and your information may be stored or processed on servers located outside New Zealand.
Only Switched Homes, and these service providers acting on our behalf, have access to your enquiry information.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share the details you submit through our forms with third parties for their own marketing.
We only disclose your information:
- To the service providers above who help us run our business (Privyr and Zoho), who are required to protect it
- Where we are required to by law
The cookies and tracking tools described above operate separately. They collect website usage data and share it with Meta and Google as part of how those tools work.
Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Request access to that information
- Ask us to correct it if it is wrong
To make a request, contact us at sales@switchedhomes.co.nz.
Keeping your information secure
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from loss, misuse and unauthorised access. No system is completely secure, but we use reputable platforms and limit who can access your information.
Retention and marketing
We keep your information for as long as needed to respond to your enquiry, provide our services, and meet our legal and business obligations. We may also keep your contact details to let you know about other smart home solutions and offers that may interest you.
You can opt out of marketing contact at any time, and you can ask us to delete the information we hold about you. Contact us at sales@switchedhomes.co.nz, or use the unsubscribe option in any marketing email.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on our website, with the "last updated" date shown above.
