Privacy Policy 

Last updated: 10.09.2025

At www.closeup.co.nz, we take your privacy seriously. Our work is focused on reporting that is transparent, fact-based, and drawn only from information already available in the public domain.

We do not gather private data through hidden tracking or unauthorised methods. The information we use and publish comes solely from lawful, official, and publicly accessible sources such as:

• Decisions released by the Private Security Personnel Licensing Authority (PSPLA).

• Court and tribunal judgments and other public orders.

• Liquidation and bankruptcy notices published in the New Zealand Gazette or recorded with the Companies Office.

• Company and director records made available through the New Zealand Companies Register.

• Announcements and publications from government agencies, regulators, and other official bodies.

What This Means

• All information on www.closeup.co.nz is obtained from legitimate public sources.

• We do not buy, sell, or trade personal information.

• We do not publish details about children or private individuals unless those details have been lawfully released into the public record.

• If you believe material on this site is out of date, inaccurate, or published in error, you can contact us to request a review.

Use of Information

The information we publish is used for:

• Public-interest reporting.

• Promoting transparency around business, compliance, and legal matters.

• Informing the public about outcomes of disputes, bankruptcies, liquidations, and licensing decisions.

We operate within the requirements of the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, the Defamation Act 1992, and other relevant laws. For international readers, our approach also aligns with fair reporting standards recognised in the United States.

Your Rights

Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to:

• Ask for corrections to information if it is inaccurate or misleading.

• Contact us directly with concerns about published material.

Please note that we cannot change or remove official records held by the Companies Register, the Courts, PSPLA, or other authorities. Any corrections must be made with those agencies before we can update or reflect changes on this site.
