| 1226530 | 2011-08-27 23:34:00 | This might sum things up . I thought that it might have come under the Telecommications Act . (1) There are legal considerations relating to the use of listening devices designed to record telephone conversations . Section 216 of the Crimes Act 1962 (which includes a definition of such devices) makes it an offence to intentionally intercept a private communication by means of a listening device unless one of the permitted exceptions applies . One of these is that at least one party to the conversation must be aware that the conversation is being recorded . * This clause does not relate to a simple answering machine or voice messaging system which records a message from a caller and is not capable of recording a both-way conversation . The caller is normally aware that the message is being recorded and makes a definite decision to proceed . (2) The Privacy Act 1993 contains additional constraints on the use of recording devices . Use of a recording device to record a telephone conversation is deemed to be "collection of personal information" under this Act . Generally speaking, the Act requires that such "collection" shall only be carried out with the permission of the person concerned . The Privacy Act also requires that the information be obtained from the individual concerned, and sets strict conditions as to what information is being collected, what it is to be used for, and to whom it may be disclosed . . telepermit . co . nz/PTC200X10 . html" target="_blank">www . telepermit . co . nz |

| 1226531 | 2011-08-27 23:36:00 | This reads all sorts of ways::: Generally speaking, the Act requires that such "collection" shall only be carried out with the permission of the person concerned. The Privacy Act also requires that the information be obtained from the individual concerned, and sets strict conditions as to what information is being collected, what it is to be used for, and to whom it may be disclosed. If I am concerned and I am the one recording the call - then I see that as a slam dunk and legal. I cannot be- and choose NOT to be- concerned about the other party if they are the ones who called me. See? Wot? |

| 1226534 | 2011-08-28 02:47:00 | Ok wrong foul :p He could have simply hung up ans not been recorded, But I politely told him I was recording the conversation as in the past he was saying "he never said that, or "I never said that" and that advisement was also recorded as part of it, and I wasn't bluffing. The conversation got sent to baycorp ---- I would say they were "amused" Esp in the end he said and I do hope you are ****in recording this and do send it, they dont have the balls to do anything anyway. |

| 1226536 | 2011-08-28 03:20:00 | Uh i meant a face to face conversation, not over the phone. I have a meeting with my residential manager on monday and i suspect shes trying to screw me over, so i want to record it as proof in case anything happens. | Question (15792) | ||
| 1226537 | 2011-08-28 04:20:00 | Yep go for it. You dont need to let them know as you are the person who knows it is being recorded | Gobe1 (6290) | ||

Don't agree to anything that she says unless she can produce something black-and-white to back up the terms that she is promising you. Verbal recording can somewhat help with the situation, but having something paperback is still best. What sort of "meeting" is it, out of curiosity? |
