Terms & privacy policy.
Straightforward and in plain English — how we handle your information, and the terms that apply when you use this website.
Last updated: 2 June 2026
Paragon Portables (“Paragon Portables”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a family-owned portable home builder based in Ohoka, North Canterbury, New Zealand. This page sets out how we look after your personal information in line with the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, and the terms that apply when you use this website. By using this site or sending us an enquiry, you agree to what’s set out below.
Privacy policy
We only collect information we genuinely need to answer your enquiry and build your home, we keep it secure, and we never sell it. The sections below explain exactly what we collect and why.
What we collect
When you contact us through this website, we may collect:
- Information you give us directly through the contact form — your name, email address, phone number, location, enquiry type, and any message you send.
- Messages you send through the chat widget on the site, along with a randomly generated session ID used only to keep your conversation together.
- Standard technical information your browser sends to any website — such as your IP address and basic request logs — handled by our hosting provider for security and reliability.
We don’t ask for sensitive information through this website, and you only share what you choose to send us.
How we use it
We use your information to:
- Reply to your enquiry and answer your questions.
- Prepare quotes, plans, and build schedules for your project.
- Keep in touch with you about your build and arrange site visits or delivery.
- Improve our service and keep the website working properly.
We’ll only use your details for the reason you gave them to us. We won’t add you to marketing lists you didn’t ask for.
Your rights
Under the Privacy Act 2020 you have the right to ask us what personal information we hold about you, to request a copy of it, and to ask us to correct anything that’s wrong. Just get in touch using the details below and we’ll sort it out. If you’re ever not happy with how we’ve handled your information, you can also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
Terms of use
You’re welcome to browse this website and use it to learn about our homes and get in touch. By using the site you agree to use it lawfully and not to misuse it, interfere with how it works, or attempt to access it in any way other than through the normal interface we provide.
Pricing & quotes
Any prices shown on this website — including the Standard and Premium figures on our model pages — are indicative starting points to help you plan, not a fixed offer or a binding quote. Your final price depends on the model, your chosen finishes and upgrades, any custom changes, and delivery to your site. We provide a fully itemised, written quote before any work begins, and that quote — not this website — is what forms the basis of your build. We may update models, specifications, and pricing on the site at any time without notice.
Content & intellectual property
The content on this website — text, photographs, designs, logos, and layout — belongs to Paragon Portables or is used with permission, and is protected by copyright. You’re welcome to view and share links to our pages, but please don’t copy, reproduce, or reuse our content for commercial purposes without our written permission. This site may link to other websites we don’t control; we’re not responsible for their content or their privacy practices.
Liability & governing law
We take care to keep the information on this website accurate and up to date, but we provide it “as is” for general guidance and can’t guarantee it’s complete or error-free. To the extent permitted by law, we’re not liable for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, this website. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986 where they apply. These terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand and any dispute will be dealt with by the New Zealand courts.
