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

Preliminary provisions - Interpretation

10: Regulated data service

You could also call this:

“What is a regulated data service and why is it important?”

The new law wants to explain what a ‘regulated data service’ is. This is important because it helps you understand what the law is talking about.

A regulated data service can be one or both of these things:

  1. When someone gives data as part of what the law calls ‘Part 2’.
  2. When someone does an action that’s described in ‘Part 2’ of the law.

‘Part 2’ is another section of this new law that explains more about what these services and actions might be. If you want to know exactly what kinds of data or actions this includes, you would need to look at that part of the law.

Remember, this is just a proposal for a new law. It’s not actually a law yet, but it’s what some people think should become a law.
