I do not believe that. I would like evidence before I am convinced

If my bank is releasing that data I am horrified. I live in anew Zealand and our privacy laws are clear: it would be illegal

Backwards in 2025, ask for proof it is not happening. It’s the POS terminal that actually sells the data, btw. NZ may be “behind.”

Same comment for PoS

We have strict privacy laws

That would put us ahead?

Not an expert in NZ law, but they’d have to be comprehensive to completely stop it. Legislators are not typically savvy in the area as well.

The law is very clear (IANAL but I was responsible once for compliance with this law)

If I collect your private information for a purpose, I may only use it for that purpose. I may not sell it

So if I have your transaction details I may use them to complete the transaction, no other purpose
