Welcome to JobsNZ (“the Platform”), including all workforce applications hosted on this site, currently including Odd Jobs NZ and Immediate Painters. JobsNZ is operated by @PutaiaoTech under the management of Virtual Online Contact Centre. These Terms & Conditions apply to all users of the Platform.
All activity on the Platform, including job posting, worker registration, application, or any other feature or service provided, is governed by these Terms. Acceptance of these Terms covers all current and future applications hosted under JobsNZ.
JobsNZ is a neutral, digital job-matching platform. It is not a recruitment agency, employer, or representative of any group, gang, or organisation. Users participate independently and in their personal capacity. JobsNZ does not endorse or affiliate with any individuals, groups, collectives, or organisations.
All users agree to act responsibly and lawfully. This includes:

Users are responsible for their account security and must not share login credentials. JobsNZ reserves the right to suspend or remove accounts that violate these Terms.
All content, designs, software, applications, templates, interfaces, and digital products (including but not limited to Assist applications, mobile and tablet solutions, dashboards, and proprietary workflows) on this website are the intellectual property of PutaiaoTech. Unauthorized reproduction, copying, distribution, adaptation, modification, or commercial use of any content, code, or designs without the express written permission of PutaiaoTech is prohibited.

JobsNZ provides the Platform as a tool for connecting workers and job posters. JobsNZ/@PutaiaoTech/Virtual Online Contact Centre is not responsible for work performance, outcomes, or user behaviour. Users acknowledge they use the Platform at their own risk.
JobsNZ is the part of the JobsNZ platform that may require workers to create and maintain a personal worker profile.
JobsNZ takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, unauthorised access, use, modification, disclosure and misuse. Security measures may include authentication, two-step verification, access controls, audit logging, security monitoring, backups and restrictions on administrative access.
JobsNZ is designed to minimise the identity information it needs to hold. Applicants should not place passport numbers, driver licence numbers, IRD numbers, bank account login information, passwords, PINs, authentication codes, two-step verification codes or other sensitive identity credentials in a public JobsNZ profile or About Me section.
Unless JobsNZ expressly introduces a separate secure verification process, applicants should retain their identity documents themselves and provide appropriate evidence directly to an employer when lawfully required during recruitment.
Users are responsible for protecting their JobsNZ login credentials. Passwords, authentication codes and account recovery information must not be shared with employers, other applicants or unauthorised persons. JobsNZ will not require an applicant to give an employer their JobsNZ password or two-step verification code.
Users must not impersonate another person, create a profile using another person's identity without authority, attempt to access another user's account, obtain another user's login credentials, or use information obtained through JobsNZ for identity theft, impersonation, unauthorised financial activity or another unrelated purpose.
JobsNZ may temporarily restrict, suspend or secure an account where there are reasonable grounds to suspect unauthorised access, impersonation, identity theft, fraudulent activity or misuse of personal information.
Where personal information is collected, stored or transferred, JobsNZ aims to provide clear information about:
Where JobsNZ uses an external service provider, automated system or artificial intelligence service, personal information will be handled according to the purpose of the service, the applicant's applicable privacy choices and the privacy and security requirements applying to JobsNZ.
Where appropriate, information should be minimised, redacted or de-identified before it is provided to an external service. Restricted personal information should not be intentionally disclosed to a general-purpose external AI service unless the disclosure is authorised and appropriate safeguards have been established.
Where personal information is disclosed outside New Zealand, JobsNZ will consider the requirements applying to overseas disclosure, including whether appropriate privacy protections or contractual safeguards are required.
JobsNZ may provide applicants with privacy and information-sharing choices within their worker profile. These choices remain in place until the applicant changes them, subject to any processing that JobsNZ must carry out to operate the account, comply with law, protect security or meet other legitimate obligations described in these Terms or the JobsNZ Privacy Notice.
JobsNZ may keep an audit record of significant privacy-setting changes, account-security events and authorised administrative access for security, accountability and fraud-prevention purposes.
JobsNZ does not intend to keep personal information indefinitely when it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected or another lawful purpose.
A worker profile that has not been signed into for 24 months may be treated as inactive and closed. JobsNZ will normally attempt to contact the account holder before closing an inactive profile.
JobsNZ may remove an inactive profile from employer searches before final account closure where appropriate.
When an account is closed, personal information that is no longer required will be deleted or anonymised in accordance with the JobsNZ retention process. Some information may need to be retained for a longer defined period where reasonably required for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, audit, legal compliance or another lawful purpose.
Signing into an active JobsNZ account resets the profile inactivity period.
A worker may optionally nominate a person who can contact JobsNZ to request closure of the worker's profile if the worker dies or becomes unable to manage their account.
Nomination does not give that person access to the worker's private profile, applications, messages or account credentials. JobsNZ may require appropriate verification before acting on a closure request.
These Terms represent the full agreement between users and JobsNZ. If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, remaining provisions remain in full effect.
