A firm in France fined a company €1M. This shows NZ firms must follow data rules.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Marketing tools can break data rules. This leads to big fines.

Why Kiwis Should Care
NZ firms must follow the Privacy Act. Fines can hit NZ firms too.
Many NZ businesses use EU tools. These must also follow NZ laws.
