Who operates this website
The website is operated under the name Bipolar Bear. For privacy questions, access or correction requests, contact doc@bipolarbear.co.nz. The operator uses this address to receive website enquiries.
Information from a visit
The website does not run analytics or advertising trackers and does not ask visitors to create an account. The hosting provider may process technical request data such as an IP address, browser and device details, pages requested, and the time of access. This may be used to deliver pages, protect the service and diagnose service faults. The provider controls its own logs and retention practices; ask the operator if you need the provider's current details.
Site fonts are stored on this website, so displaying pages does not require a font request to an external provider.
If you choose to contact us
The contact form is a mailto form. It opens your device's email application and prepares a message addressed to doc@bipolarbear.co.nz. The website itself does not transmit or store the form fields. The message is sent only if you choose to send it from your email application. If you send it, the operator receives the name, email address and message you provide, so the operator can reply or address the request. You can leave out any detail that is not needed; without a reply address, the operator may not be able to respond.
Your email provider and the operator's email provider may process or store the message as part of delivery. The operator may keep correspondence while handling the enquiry and for a reasonable period afterward for record keeping, security or legal obligations. Do not send passwords, payment details, detailed health information or information about an urgent crisis. No marketing list is created from contact messages, and messages are not sold.
Cookies and external websites
The website does not set analytics or advertising cookies and does not use local storage to build visitor profiles. Your browser or hosting provider may use technical processes needed to deliver and secure pages. External services linked from this site have their own privacy notices and terms; review those before sharing information with them.
Your privacy rights
Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, you can ask for access to personal information the operator holds about you and request correction if it is wrong. The Privacy Commissioner explains the right of access and right to request correction. Email doc@bipolarbear.co.nz with enough detail to identify the relevant correspondence. If a request cannot be resolved with the operator, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
