Security and data

The plan the public sees is the plan you adopted

• Controlled publishing. Changes are made and reviewed first, and the public sees them only when your council publishes.
• Every change recorded. Who changed what, and when, is kept for every change to the plan.
• Plan changes shown openly. Proposed changes are clearly marked and kept separate from the operative plan.
• Roles and permissions. Your council decides who can edit, review and publish.

Hosting and data

• Your data stays in New Zealand or Australia. Policy24 runs on Microsoft Azure, with council data held in New Zealand or Australia.
• Each council’s data is kept separate.
• Encrypted in transit. All connections use HTTPS.
• Your documents don’t train AI. Plan content and application documents are never used to train or fine-tune AI models.

A guide, not a ruling

Policy24 shows the rules that may affect a property, so people can understand the plan before they talk to the council. It doesn’t replace formal advice or a council decision, and we say so on every property enquiry.
