We take reasonable steps to ensure any third parties protect information in line with New Zealand privacy standards.
We may also share information where required or permitted by law, or to prevent or lessen a serious threat to health or safety.

Some of the systems or service providers we use to store or process personal information may be based overseas. Where personal information is disclosed outside New Zealand, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected in a way that is comparable to New Zealand privacy law.
