125: Other data holders must provide information to chief executive

You could also call this:

"Data holders must tell the government about their status and details"

If you become a data holder under some special rules, you need to tell the government about it. You have to do this within 20 working days of finding out you're a data holder. You need to give them some important information about yourself and your business.

You need to tell them your name and your New Zealand Business Number. You also need to give them an address in New Zealand where they can send you things. You have to say which rules made you a data holder.

There might be some other information you need to give them too. This could include special details to identify you and how to contact you. You might also need to give them some extra information that will go into special lists they keep.

Remember, you don't have to do this if you've already given them this information before for the same rules. The government will tell you exactly how you need to give them this information.
