Protecting data on your device
The Govt.nz app is built to keep your information under your control, on your device, and out of reach of anyone else — including the government.

Protecting data we hold
The Govt.nz app collects and stores as little user data as possible by limiting what is collected on backend systems, making additional data collection opt-in and applying strict security standards.

Protecting your privacy
Privacy is built into the Govt.nz app from the start — it is independently overseen, aligned with New Zealand’s privacy law, and designed to keep you in control of your information.
