At D’lite (dlite.nz), we treat privacy, discretion, and personal security with the highest seriousness. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, safeguard, and handle your information in strict accordance with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020.
Discretion & Pseudonyms
Companions and advertisers are encouraged to use professional stage names. We never publicly display legal names, personal emails, or private billing details.
No Data Brokering
We never monetize, rent, or sell your personal data, viewing patterns, or contact records to third-party advertisers, brokers, or data aggregators.
Bank-Grade Encryption
Passwords are cryptographically salted and hashed using bcrypt. All communication is secured end-to-end with TLS 1.3 encryption.
Overview & Commitment
D’lite ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to safeguarding the privacy and digital security of every visitor, guest member, and advertising companion who utilizes our platform at dlite.nz.
Because our platform operates in the adult advertising industry in New Zealand, we recognize that privacy is not merely a legal requirement—it is essential to the safety, autonomy, and livelihood of our users and advertisers.
New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 Compliance
We adhere strictly to the 13 Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) established under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020:
Lawful & Necessary Collection (IPPs 1–4): We collect only the minimum personal information required to run the directory, authenticate accounts, verify eligibility, and prevent platform fraud.
Security & Storage (IPP 5): We take all reasonable physical, administrative, and technological steps to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
Access & Correction (IPPs 6 & 7): You have the legal right to request a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and to request corrections if it is inaccurate.
Accuracy & Retention (IPPs 8 & 9): We ensure information is up to date and retain it only as long as legitimately needed.
Limited Use & Disclosure (IPPs 10–12): Information is used only for the purposes for which it was gathered, and never disclosed to third parties unless legally required under NZ law.
Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with D’lite, we collect the following categories of information:
Account Registration Data
When registering an account (Advertiser or Guest), we collect your email address, chosen account name or alias, and an encrypted hash of your password. If signing in via Google OAuth, we receive your verified Google email and avatar as authorized by your Google profile.
Advertiser Profile & Listing Details
If you post a companion advertisement, you choose what information to display publicly, including stage name, promotional images, service descriptions, rates, general city/region, and public contact links (such as WhatsApp, phone, or website).
Age & Residency Verification Documents (When Applicable)
If requested to verify compliance with the 18+ age mandate or the NZ Prostitution Reform Act 2003 (Section 19 citizenship/PR requirement), verification documents (such as government-issued photo ID) are inspected strictly for validation and are not retained long-term or shared publicly.
Technical & Log Information
Standard web server logs collect IP addresses, browser user agents, referring URLs, and timestamps to protect against DDoS attacks, brute force login attempts, and malicious activity.
Anonymity, Pseudonyms & Advertiser Safety
We strongly support the privacy of sex workers and adult service providers in New Zealand:
- Pseudonym Rights: You are entitled and encouraged to use an alias or working name for all public profiles and interactions on D’lite.
- No Public Personal Data: We will never disclose your real legal name, residential address, or private contact details on your public listing.
- Anti-Doxxing Protection: Publishing or attempting to uncover the private personal identity, off-platform contact details, or real home address of any companion is a violation of our Terms and grounds for immediate ban and reporting.

All website communication is secured via Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) with modern ciphers.
