Commissioner Mike Bush says police can track those returning from overseas through their smartphones, but only with their consent. (First published April 2020) Previously, there were few repercussions for those that broke the rules. Overseas-based businesses that operate in New Zealand must also comply with the new law, regardless of whether they have a physical or legal presence in the country. The changes come as the Privacy Commissioner s annual report reveals details of some of the hundreds of breaches reported in the year to June 2020. These include a power company which revealed man’s new address to his abusive ex-partner, which she then used to drive to his property and leave abusive notes in his mailbox.

Tower said the app is a way for people to measure their driving ability and potentially lower their insurance excess.
However, critics warn the app intrudes on people s privacy and it is unclear who is really getting the benefits.
