Director Dialogue – what’s really going on with consumer data?

Overview

According to MBIE giving New Zealanders greater control over their data could enable easier switching among providers and bring new products and services to market. Right now they are seeking feedback on the introduction of a Consumer Data Right (CDR) to facilitate such control. Anderson Lloyd partner, Derek Roth-Biester, looks at the impact of a CDR on New Zealand’s data privacy and governance.

Please note this online event replaces the event originally scheduled for 16 September.
