If you are running a business in New Zealand, it is essential to understand your privacy obligations, particularly when handling data. Your business most likely collects new information every day, so you need to know how to store and manage this information, particularly personal data, while meeting your legal duties.
Your obligations may vary depending on the:
- size of your business;
- types of data you handle;
- category of goods or services you sell; and
- countries that you operate in.
Whether you are a startup or global corporate, data and privacy protection must be a central element of your business strategy. You will need policies and processes in place.
