Although this (www.nzherald.co.nz) could give pause for a Tui Break.

694396 2008-08-02 23:07:00 It baffles me why the materials weren't screened before being released by the police. somebody (208)
694397 2008-08-03 03:07:00 I'm now convinced that Trade Me doesn't care about security, privacy etc. A few weeks ago I discovered a security issue and reported it to them and they didn't even acknowledge the problem. Now this has happened. It's great for trust :rolleyes: Nermal (7077)
694398 2008-08-03 06:02:00 And nobody will be accountable.:p Cicero (40)

They were served a search warrant. What do you expect them to do?

694400 2008-08-03 23:01:00 TradeMe complied with a legal search warrant, as they are obliged to do.

The police disclosed the contents/results of the search warrant to the prosecution, as they are obliged to do.

The only thing wrong here is the wording of the warrant, which was obviously not specific enough.

The Law is an ass - everyone knows that. Why are you surprised they cock-up??

694401 2008-08-03 23:05:00 Got an email from Trademe yesterday. I looked through anyone I traded with and damned if I can find anyone that might fit the bill as being from that area. Thanks for nothing Trademe.

"We are writing to make you aware of the provision of some of your personal information to the New Zealand Police.

The Police served a search warrant on Trade Me requiring information on people who had traded with 8 suspects associated with the “Urewera Raids” late last year. We are compelled by law to provide information in response to search warrants.

Some of your information was amongst that provided. There is no suggestion that you were in any way related to these events last year, apart from being one of 3000 who traded with someone that was a suspect in this investigation.

Both the Privacy Act 1993 (Principle 11) and the Trade Me Terms and Conditions (Section 6.10) and Privacy Policy allow for personal information to be provided in matters related to maintenance of the law by public sector agencies.

If you have any more questions in respect of the matter, the Police Detective leading the investigation is Aaron Pascoe (aaron.pascoe@police.govt.nz).

We are sorry to have to bring this to your attention, but given current media focus on the issue we believed we should make you aware of the situation.

If you have concerns in respect of how we have acted in relation to the Privacy Act 1993, you can make complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (http://www.privacy.org.nz/ )

Sincerely

Trade Me Support"
