Plain language law

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 - Additional obligations - Requirements for requests, providing services, making information available, and dealing with data

35: Contravention of specified disclosure requirement is infringement offence

You could also call this:

“Breaking rules about sharing information can lead to fines”

This proposed law is about what happens if you don’t follow certain rules about sharing information. If you break these rules, you might have to pay a fine.

The fine could be $20,000, or a court might make you pay up to $50,000. These rules are called “specified disclosure requirements”.

The specified disclosure requirements are rules about sharing information that are listed in other parts of this proposed law. The exact details of these requirements will be written in regulations or standards that go with this law.
