Dear Information [DPMC],

In your response you say that you have no affiliation with media, internet providers either directly or via 3rd parties. If this is the case how does the program of work undertaken by the organisation acquire data?

It has been reported in the media that the DPMC has working relationships with 3rd parties that function exactly as described such as Annalect. Do you still standby your answer?
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/soci...

Can you please cite all of the methods that are used to acquire data for analysis by the DPMC and affiliates with regards to social media, websites, blogs, cellphone messaging applications (for example. telegram, signal, whatsapp, instagram, facebook messenger, but not limited to)

If any can you please cite any surveillance laws used to acquire these datasets.
If your response to the above questions is that this information was in the public domain and not privileged and private data, please publish the datasets in full.

Yours sincerely,

Ryan Bullock
