Removing yourself, step by step

0 of 4 done
  1. Locate your officer profile page (URL pattern like companiesnz.com/person/<id>/<company>).
  2. Fill in name, email, subject, and message; the site explicitly asks that you include the exact profile page link.
  3. Request suppression of the residential address specifically (full removal may not be honored since the source is a public register).

If they ignore you

NZ Privacy Commissioner complaint (privacy.org.nz) citing the Privacy Act 2020, since this is a privately-run aggregator republishing register data, not the official Companies Office site.

Data brokers re-list. Check again in about 60 days.

Re-listing risk for this site: High — data is re-synced from the official NZ Companies Office register, so an officer's address will reappear on the next sync unless the underlying Companies Office record itself is changed.
