Privacy Sorted
NZ Privacy Act 2020 · 13 principles + the new one

Most NZ businesses score under 4/10 on privacy compliance. What's yours?

The Privacy Act changed on 1 May 2026. If your policy was written before then, it's missing the 14th principle. Enter your website — your score takes about two minutes and costs nothing.

There aren't 13 privacy principles anymore. There are 14.

When was your policy written? Watch how the 14-Principle Audit works, what the pack contains, and exactly what the guarantee covers.

VSL — coming this week
— 03 · The fix

The Privacy Sorted Pack — everything the Act expects you to have, built for your business.

Not a template. We audit how your business actually handles information, then rebuild your documentation against all 14 principles — delivered in 7 working days.

01

Your Compliance Chart

All 14 principles — where you stand on each, what changes, in plain English.

02

Your Privacy Policy, rebuilt

Current law, your actual data flows. No GDPR ghost-rights, no boilerplate.

03

The Operating Pack — 8 procedures

Access requests, breach response, retention, IPP 3A notifications and more — the documents that make the policy true in practice.

04

The Privacy Runbook

Who does what, when, in what order — including your named Privacy Officer.

Included with founding builds
  • The IPP 3A Notification Kit — ready-to-use notices for referrals, purchased lists and reference checks. The exact new obligation nobody has covered.
  • The 12-Month Re-Score — we re-run your audit in a year, free, so you know you're still current.
  • Privacy Officer Starter Sheet — turns “who deals with this?” into a named, briefed role.
Founding rate · first 20 NZ businesses
$895+ GST · one-time

For scale: a lawyer-drafted privacy policy alone runs about $900 + GST and takes 5 working days — one document, no score, no procedures. Founding rate rises to $1,690 + GST when the lawyer-reviewed tier goes live. Founding builds include case-study permission — that's the deal.

The Sorted Guarantee
  • Implement the pack and your documented compliance re-scores at 8/10 or higher — or we keep working on it free until it does.
  • Full pack delivered within 7 working days of your intake call — or your money back.

No law firm or generator in the category offers any guarantee. We can, because the framework is published and the score is measurable.

Reserve a founding build.

Online payment is being wired up. Until then: leave your email, we'll confirm your spot and invoice you directly — same price, same guarantee, first come first served.

— 04 · Fair questions

Can't I just use a free template?

You can — that's what most businesses scoring 2–4/10 did. A template writes a document; it never checks what you currently have, doesn't know your data flows, and almost all of them predate the 14th principle. If you score well on the free check, keep your template with our blessing.

Is this legal advice? What if the AI gets it wrong?

It's not legal advice, and it says so on every document — no fine print games. Every finding traces to a numbered principle in the Privacy Act 2020 and OPC guidance, and there's a route into review by a real NZ privacy lawyer. Compare that honesty with a generator that quietly hands you GDPR text.

We're small — nobody's coming after us.

True — the Privacy Commissioner isn't door-knocking. The real trigger is a person: one unhappy customer, ex-staff member or job applicant filing a complaint, and you're responding with whatever documents you have that day. It's also becoming a procurement question — bigger customers now ask for your privacy documentation before signing.
