Acceptance of these terms
By using druidry.org.nz (the “platform”), you agree to these terms. Druidry Aotearoa is the platform itself — the individual Groves, Seed Groups, and other groups who use it (for example, the Grove of the Summer Stars or the Tōtara Seed Group) are independent organisations, not subsidiaries of Druidry Aotearoa, but this single set of terms covers everyone’s use of the platform regardless of which group they belong to.
See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information — these terms cover how the platform itself may be used.
Using the platform
- Your account is for your own use. Please don’t share your login with others.
- Don’t attempt to access data or functionality outside what your role permits — for example, by circumventing the platform’s access controls.
- Don’t do anything that disrupts the platform or the service it provides to other members.
- Don’t impersonate another person, or misrepresent your affiliation with a Grove, Seed Group, or Group.
- Your use of the platform, and your handling of any member information you access through it, must comply with New Zealand law, including the Privacy Act 2020. This applies to everyone — including administrators and coordinators (see below).
We’re a small community project, run at low cost by volunteers — these terms are here to set reasonable expectations, not to read like enterprise software terms.
Your content
You’re responsible for content you publish on the platform, such as blog posts and comments. Some content is moderated before or after publication, as described in our content moderation process. We don’t use your content for any purpose beyond the platform itself — for example, in marketing — without your explicit consent.
For Grove, Seed Group, and Group administrators
If you hold an administrator or coordinator role for a Grove, Seed Group, or Group, your access to member information is granted for the purpose of administering that group — for example, running camps, tracking initiations, organising working bees, or coordinating festivals.
Some administrators use their own additional tools (for example, email newsletter services) to help administer their group, independent of the platform. Our technical controls (database-level access restrictions, encryption, multi-factor authentication) don’t extend beyond the platform itself, so if you export member data outside it, that data becomes your own responsibility to secure. This doesn’t change your legal obligations — wherever that data lives, you must still handle it in line with New Zealand law, including the Privacy Act 2020, and only use it for the purpose it was shared with you.
Changes to these terms
We may amend these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they were last revised. If you keep using the platform after a change, that means you accept the updated terms.
