New Zealand Privacy Week 2025

The 12^th – 16^th of May 2025 is New Zealand Privacy Week.

Run by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, Privacy Week is designed to raise awareness of privacy issues through themed communications and online webinars. You can see the full list of events here.

This year, New Zealand Privacy Week has a theme of “Privacy on Purpose”. To be purposeful and proactive with privacy because privacy done well can be a business advantage.

Here’s why you should care.

Each year the Office of the Privacy Commissioner runs a survey to learn about New Zealanders attitudes towards privacy. In its latest survey it found.

55% of survey respondents were concerned about privacy issues and how their data was being collected and used. A 14% increase on the year prior.
80% of respondents wanted more transparency, control and choice over the use of their personal information.
28% of respondents avoided transacting with a business online because they were so concerned about how their personal information might be used.

Simply put, privacy concerns drive behaviour.

If you can demonstrate to your clients that you take their privacy seriously, you are more likely to win their trust and their business.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EC Credit are excellent at assisting in debt collection.  They are organised and efficient.  The team understand the best way to work with individuals and businesses to obtain results.  T=EC have access to the best legal support needed to navigate the tricky work of statements of claims, statutory demands and other legal tools.  I have worked with other providers and can confirm the results from EC are better.  In one recent case we secured a 100% recovery of monies owed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Implementing any new system can be challenging. Changing our terms and conditions was pretty much painless with Tony. He came in to assist with the Xero and Workflowmax integration and didn't leave until we had it working. The only thing I would like to suggest is you sort out Tony's outgoing calling ID so that it doesn't look like he is in Hawkes Bay. This is something we do and can assist you with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've used EC Credit Control for a number of years across several different companies and have consistently had a positive experience. They provided a comprehensive set of Terms of Trade that were practical, well-structured, and easy to implement within our business.

A particular mention goes to Shaun Irvin, who was excellent to deal with throughout the process. His communication was prompt, professional, and clear, making the entire engagement straightforward and efficient.

Based on my experience, EC Credit Control delivers a reliable service backed by knowledgeable staff who genuinely understand the needs of New Zealand businesses. I would happily recommend them to any organisation looking for credit management support, documentation, or advice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very happy to endorse the work and accomplishments of our experience with EC Credit Control. The initial sales connections were collegial and constructive as they guided us through the process, never rushing and letting us set the pace. Ordinarily, we don't incur bad debts, but a client had problems processing our payments due to an internal systems problem, and we needed help. Once engaged, EC Credit Control were very effective, with a very quick payment from our client. Evidently, they treated our client with courtesy and respect, and we maintain positive relations with our client. Well done, thank you.
