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

34: Requirements for accredited requestors in regulations or standards

You could also call this:

“Rules for people who can ask for customer information”

The new law might say that there will be rules about how people who are allowed to ask for data (called accredited requestors) should handle it. These rules could be about a few things:

When it comes to dealing with data, the rules might say how you can use, change, or share information about customers. For example, you might need to remove details that could identify a specific person.

The rules might also talk about telling people things. They could say what information you need to share, when you need to share it, and how you should share it. This could include details on how to present, work out, or prepare the information.

Remember, these are just ideas for what the rules might include. The actual rules will be decided later.
