PRIVACY CHANGES WORLDWIDE THAT WILL AFFECT KIWIS
Many of you may have received messages from a number of international brands like Google, Twitter and eBay about updates to their privacy policies and how they use your data.
The messages are in response to changes to the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that come into effect today, 25 May 2018. These changes aim to protect EU citizens from privacy and data breaches, by requiring organisations to be more transparent and to let you know how they use your data. This will affect NZers also.
This means that as a customer, you could receive messages about updates to their privacy policies and how they use your data.
There are a few simple things you can do to help keep your information safe: Take the time to read the privacy policies of a website, before you hand over your personal details. Regularly review the policy as privacy policies can change. Only make online purchases from companies that have a clear privacy policy and secure payment pages.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
