How to opt-out
If you have opted in and for any reason you wish to revoke that decision, you may opt-out by notifying the Privacy Commissioner in writing. Your details will then be removed from the register, and you will no longer be covered by the Privacy Act (assuming no other provisions of the Privacy Act applies to your business). You will not be charged any fees for opting-out.
It is important to note that any actions taken while you are being treated as an organisation through the 'opt-in' process may be the subject of a complaint to the Commissioner, even if you subsequently opt out.
This Office will keep a list of organisations that have revoked their decision to opt-in to the Privacy Act or have been removed from the Register for some other reason and will make this information available if asked.
