FAQ
Frequently asked questions
In simple terms, it is the NZ privacy rule dealing with notice when personal information is collected indirectly. PolicyPatch focuses on the visible website and notice basics around that issue. Not legal advice.
No. PolicyPatch is built for businesses that receive personal information indirectly and need practical visible basics checked or fixed.
No. PolicyPatch provides practical implementation support. It is not legal advice.
Often yes in practice, but the role may simply sit with an owner, manager, or another appointed contact. PolicyPatch checks whether that contact is visible where it needs to be.
A website link, the main forms or pages involved, a short note on how information is received, and the best contact details.
Yes, if your setup is straightforward and the work fits the Fix Pack scope. That is the done-for-you implementation offer.
PolicyPatch will say so plainly. More complex setups may need a scoped quote or a different provider.
Timing depends on the service and the setup, but the goal is a clear practical process rather than a long consultancy cycle.
Yes. That is the normal starting point if you want to know whether your visible setup looks like a fit for further work.
