Privacy policy.
How HAVTO collects, uses, and protects information — aligned with the NZ Privacy Act 2020 and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Who we are
HAVTO is an operational evidence platform for Australian and New Zealand construction, operated by Havto Limited (New Zealand). For the compliance records your organisation creates, your organisation is the controller of that data; HAVTO acts as processor.
Information we collect
- Account and identity — name, work email, organisation, and role.
- Operational records you enter — incidents, checklists, permits, training, and related evidence.
- Usage and diagnostic telemetry needed to run and secure the service.
- Location — an optional single location stamp when you submit a record. If your organisation uses Vehicle Journey Tracking, GPS location is also recorded, with the driver's consent, while a driver-started journey is running (including when the app is in the background) and only within work hours. HAVTO does not track people continuously outside that feature.
How we use it
To provide the service, maintain the audit trail, support you, and improve the product. We do not sell your data. Intelligence features process data to assist capture and analysis; federated learning is opt-in, PII-scrubbed, and never trains on unscrubbed data. AI assists — humans own compliance decisions.
Storage & subprocessors
Your compliance region (AU or NZ) is chosen at onboarding and fixed thereafter; it drives where data is handled. Data is encrypted with AES-256, held with reputable cloud subprocessors under data-processing agreements, and handled region-aware rather than under a one-size-fits-all global rollout.
Your rights
You may access and correct your information and export your data at any time. Deletion is honoured subject to statutory retention duties — some H&S records carry legal retention obligations (see the Data Retention policy).
Changes
We post updates here with a revised date. Material changes will be notified to account administrators.
For privacy requests — access, correction, or deletion of your information — or questions about this policy, contact us at info@havto.co.nz.
