What is the main takeaway from "Your privacy inbox: manage IPP6 requests and lookup notifications in one place"?
The DEIS individual portal now supports a full Gmail-style inbox for privacy notifications, access requests, and responses from organisations.
Where can I get help with DEIS or privacy requests?
Businesses sign in at deis.nz with a work email magic link. Individuals use deis.nz/my-data for notifications and formal Privacy Act requests. Contact the DEIS team at deis.nz/contact for support.
Is DEIS a legal adviser?
No. DEIS is a compliance platform that records lookup pathways and evidence. Organisations should confirm legal positions with their counsel or the Office of the Privacy Commissioner where needed.
Since launch, individuals have accessed the DEIS transparency portal through magic links in notification emails. We have expanded that into a persistent privacy inbox at deis.nz/my-data.
What the inbox shows
Lookup notifications — when a DEIS-connected business accesses your data from a third-party source
IPP6 access requests — formal requests you send to organisations holding your data
Responses — when businesses reply with confirmations, attachments, or partial releases
AI summaries — plain-English summaries of business responses where enabled
Making an IPP6 request
You do not need to draft a legal letter from scratch. Choose the right under the Privacy Act 2020 (access, correction, etc.), identify the organisation, and DEIS structures the request. Magic-link sign-in verifies your identity to the business.
Paid unlock for full responses
Some response content is available in preview; full downloads and advanced tools are available on the individual plan ($19 NZD per year). That keeps the notification and request flow free while funding secure storage and delivery.
Why businesses benefit too
Structured individual requests arrive with verified email and clear request type — reducing junk mail and speeding up compliant responses through the business privacy inbox.
