New Zealand law explained for everyone

This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Customer and Product Data Bill

Regulated data services - Main obligations - Product data

22: Data holder must provide product data to any person

You could also call this:

“Companies must share certain product information when asked properly”

If you ask a data holder for product data, they will have to give it to you under certain conditions. This is part of a proposed new law. The conditions are that the data must be officially designated as product data, you need to make a proper request, and you must use a special system to ask for it. This system is described in section 27 of the proposed law. If you meet all these conditions, the data holder has to give you the data using that same system.
