Domino's apologises after franchisee's relative leaks jobseeker details

25 May 2021 - The actions of the former employee of a Domino's franchisee who leaked job seekers' information on Instagram, along with mocking comments, have been condemned by the franchise.

A Domino’s New Zealand spokeswoman said the company unreservedly apologised to anyone affected by the privacy breach and it would take appropriate steps to address the matter after a thorough investigation. According to Stuff,  the Instagram account belonged to a relative of a multi-unit franchisee, who until recently had worked at one of their three local stores.

According to Netsafe, the former employee's actions may constitute a breach of the Harmful Digital Communications Act or the Privacy Act.
