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.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
