01

Who we are

Resaido is an AI-powered compliance recording platform built for licensed real estate agents in New Zealand. We are the information controller for data you provide to us when using the Resaido service.

Our registered office is in Auckland, New Zealand. All data we hold is stored within New Zealand.

02

What we collect

We collect information in three categories:

  • Account informationyour name, email address, agency name, REA licence number, and payment details when you subscribe.
  • Communication datatranscripts of phone calls, email threads, WhatsApp and SMS messages, and structured in-person meeting notes that you or our integrations submit to Resaido.
  • Usage datalog data about how you interact with the platform (feature usage, export events, login timestamps). We do not sell or profile this data for advertising.

We collect only what is necessary to provide the service. We do not collect sensitive personal information about your clients beyond what appears naturally in the communications you submit.

03

How we use your data

We use the information we collect to:

  • Transcribe, organise, and store your client interaction records
  • Analyse communications for compliance risk against the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 and the Professional Conduct and Client Care Rules 2012
  • Generate and export timestamped interaction reports on your request
  • Provide account management, billing, and customer support
  • Improve the accuracy of our risk-detection models using anonymised, aggregated data only — never your identified records

We do not use your client communication data for any purpose other than delivering the Resaido service to you.

04

Recording & consent

One-party consent: Under section 216B of the Crimes Act 1961, it is lawful in New Zealand to record a private communication if you are a party to that communication. As the licensed agent, you are always a party to the conversations you record through Resaido.

While one-party consent is sufficient under NZ law, we recommend — and our platform supports — notifying clients that their interactions are being recorded. This aligns with the spirit of the Privacy Act 2020 and builds client trust.

You are responsible for ensuring your recording and documentation practices comply with your obligations under the Real Estate Agents Act 2008 and any agency-specific policies. Resaido provides the technical record; it does not constitute legal advice.

05

AI processing

Resaido uses AI to transcribe audio, analyse text, and flag potential compliance risk. Our models are trained to identify language patterns associated with REA complaints — such as undisclosed vendor motivation, misleading price representations, and informal offer guidance.

AI flags are informational indicators, not legal findings. A flag does not mean a breach has occurred. All flagged content should be reviewed by you and, where appropriate, by a qualified legal advisor.

Your identifiable communication data is never used to train third-party AI models. Model improvement uses only anonymised, aggregated signal data.

06

Storage & security

All data is stored in New Zealand on infrastructure that meets the requirements of the Privacy Act 2020 and the New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM).

  • Data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+)
  • Access controls are role-based and reviewed quarterly
  • Audit logs are maintained for all access to client interaction records
  • We conduct annual independent security reviews

In the event of a privacy breach that is likely to cause serious harm, we will notify you and, where required, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner within the timeframes specified under the Privacy Act 2020.

07

Sharing & disclosure

We do not sell your data. We share data only in the following circumstances:

  • Your explicit requestwhen you export a report to share with the REA, your principal, or legal counsel.
  • Service providerstrusted subprocessors (hosting, transcription, payment) under strict data processing agreements, all operating within or equivalent to NZ privacy standards.
  • Legal obligationwhere required by NZ law, a court order, or a lawful REA investigation.
  • Business transferif Resaido is acquired or merges, your data will transfer under the same privacy obligations stated here.
08

Retention & deletion

You control your data. By default, interaction records are retained for seven years from the date of recording — consistent with the general limitation period under the Limitation Act 2010 and the REA's recommended record-keeping practice.

You may delete individual records or your entire account at any time from your account settings. Deleted records are purged from our systems within 30 days. We retain billing records for seven years as required by the Tax Administration Act 1994.

When your subscription ends, your data is held for 60 days to allow export before permanent deletion.

09

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

  • Request access to the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data
  • Withdraw consent for processing (which will require termination of the service)
