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 - Consequential amendments - Amendments to Privacy Act 2020

144: Section 75 amended (Referral of complaint to another person)

You could also call this:

“Changing who can handle complaints about privacy and product information”

This proposed change would add a new option for who a complaint can be sent to under the Privacy Act 2020. If this bill becomes law, it would allow complaints to be referred to the person in charge (called the chief executive) of the Customer and Product Data Act 2024. This means that if someone makes a complaint about privacy, and it’s related to customer or product data, it could be sent to the person who oversees that area of law. This gives more flexibility in handling different types of privacy complaints.
