2. Data Sharing with Stats NZ (IDI)
Some data is shared with Statistics NZ in order to support evidence-based decision-making by evaluating what services work best for different people and communities.
What data we collect and share
To support this work, we share de-identified data with Stats NZ’s Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI) for research purposes.
The data we may provide includes:

- Service start date

How your data is protected
