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

Administrative matters - Information sharing

125: Restriction on publication, disclosure, or use

You could also call this:

“Rules for sharing and using information from this part of the law”

Under this proposed law, when someone gets information from this part of the bill, they can only share, tell others about, or use that information in two ways. First, if the person in charge (called the chief executive) says it’s okay and they follow any rules the chief executive sets. Second, if they need to use the information to do their job or carry out their responsibilities under any law. This rule is meant to control how information is used and shared.
