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 - Register

119: Persons that will become data holders when designation comes into force must provide information to chief executive

You could also call this:

“New data holders must tell the government about themselves before rules start”

The new law proposes that if rules are made about data holders, but haven’t started yet, some people might need to give information to the government. This applies to you if you think you’ll become a data holder when the new rules start.

If this applies to you, you’ll need to tell the government some things at least 20 working days before the new rules begin. You might need to do this in a special way if the rules say so.

The information you need to give includes:

Your name and New Zealand Business Number An address in New Zealand where you can receive official papers Which new rules you think will apply to you Any other details about you that the rules say you need to give Information that the rules say needs to go in two different registers

The government will use this information to keep track of who the new rules apply to.
