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

Regulatory and enforcement matters - Prohibition against taking certain actions against customer

62: When subpart applies

You could also call this:

“This part of the law explains when the rules about handling your information apply”

This part of the proposed law would apply if someone who holds data or is allowed to ask for data doesn’t follow the rules set out in the law. It would come into effect when these people are dealing with a customer’s information. The law aims to make sure that when businesses handle your data, they do it properly and follow the rules.
