Important information

I make this application on behalf of my agency.

My agency acknowledges and agrees that it is the data publisher responsible and is consequently responsible for:

  • managing our dataset listings
  • notifying the data.govt.nz team of any changes in ownership of the account and of any issues, should they arise
  • publishing our data appropriately, in accordance with privacy and security considerations, ensuring no third-party rights are infringed or otherwise, in accordance with the Terms of use for data.govt.nz.

The data.govt.nz team takes no responsibility for any dataset listings by agencies. I agree that once approved, I will be assigned a username for data.govt.nz on behalf of my agency, to publish dataset listings. My name may be listed as a data maintainer for my agency throughout the data.govt.nz site.
