Summary: Tūhura Standards collects no personal data, requires no account, and shows no advertising. Standards data is cached on the Tūhura Standards server. Your Ed Org and filter preferences are stored only in your own browser.
Tūhura Standards is an independent tool operated by Tracey-Lee Pettifer. It is not affiliated with NZQA. The website is hosted at tuhurastandards.co.nz on a private server in New Zealand.
The server caches the following data to improve performance and reduce load on NZQA’s website:
This cached data contains no personal information — it is entirely derived from NZQA’s publicly available website.
The following is stored in your browser’s local storage and never sent to the Tūhura Standards server:
You can clear this data at any time by opening the Ed Orgs panel and using the settings there, or by clearing your browser’s local storage for tuhurastandards.co.nz.
When standards data is not already cached, Tūhura Standards fetches it from the NZQA website on your behalf. These requests appear to NZQA as normal browser traffic. NZQA may log these requests as part of their normal server operations.
Tūhura Standards loads the Inter font from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to Google’s servers when any page loads. The Ko-fi payment button on the About page links to ko-fi.com — clicking it will take you to Ko-fi’s website, which has its own privacy policy.
If this privacy policy changes, the updated version will be available at tuhurastandards.co.nz/privacy.
