Parry Financial Services
Last updated: October 2026

1. Introduction

Parry Financial Services ("we", "us", "our") operates the mortgage calculator tools and First Home Playbook available at parryfs.com, and runs lead forms on Facebook and Instagram. We are committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.

This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

2. Who We Are

Business name: Parry Financial Services
Contact: dan@parryfs.com
Location: Auckland, New Zealand

3. What Information We Collect

If you use the calculators without an account:
We don't collect any personal details. All calculations happen in your browser and no data is stored. We do collect anonymised usage data through Cloudflare Web Analytics and Microsoft Clarity, including session recordings, to understand how people use the site. Financial input fields (like income, debts and property price) are masked in these recordings so the values you enter aren't visible to us.

If you create an account:

  • First and last name
  • Email address
  • Password (stored as an encrypted hash - we never see your actual password)
  • Calculator inputs you choose to save (purchase price, deposit, income, debts, expenses, age)
  • Saved scenario results
  • Date and time of account creation and last sign in

If you sign in with Google:
Your name and email address as provided by Google. We do not receive your Google password.

If you fill in a lead form or sign up to the First Home Playbook:
Your name and email address, plus any other answers you give us on the form (for example, your timeframe for buying, deposit situation, or how we can help).

Automatically collected:
Basic usage data, IP address (for security only), browser type and device type.

4. What We Do Not Collect

  • Credit card or payment information
  • IRD number or tax information
  • Bank account details
  • Information about specific properties beyond what you enter into the calculator

5. Why We Collect Your Information

  • To create and manage your account
  • To save and retrieve your calculator scenarios

  • To contact people about their home buying plans and mortgage advice
  • To send occasional emails with tips and updates, where people have opted in
  • To improve the calculator tools over time
  • To protect against fraud and abuse

Where people have opted in to marketing, we may use email addresses, in a secure, hashed form, to show relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram.

Email addresses and names received from Google when you sign in with Google are used only to create and run your account. They are not used to build advertising audiences.
