Dear Matthew, 
I refer to your Official Information Act 1982 request dated 10 August 2021 in 
which you requested the following:  
1. Has your agency contracted work to Research New Zealand in the
last five years?
2. If so, did you provide private information or data on individuals to
Research New Zealand?
3. If so, what agreements did you make with Research New Zealand
regarding privacy and data retention?
4. Have you been notified of any data breaches, security issues, or
privacy issues with Research New Zealand?
In response to requests (1), (2), (3) and (4), Police has not contracted work to 
Research New Zealand in the past five years. 
I trust this information is sufficient for your purposes. If you have any questions 
regarding this data, please feel free to contact me via [email address]. 
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to review my decision if you are not 
satisfied with Police’s response to your request. 
Yours sincerely
