Sorry I just felt like flaming Facebook. I do think you need to be very wary when passing personal information between websites. Credit card transactions for example should make it quite clear what data you are passing and why. Why is exchanging data with Facebook any different? They clearly log (as a record) and use the authentication event for their own purposes, so you are relinquishing any subsequent control over that personal record. Conversely using data obtained from another site, regardless of whether you believe the other site obtained permission, the act explicitly states that personal data must be collected directly from the user. But then here is my disclaimer - shoot me down because I am no legal expert either.

Not sure what the reply has to do with Brendan's question. Implementing single sign-on with Facebook is not going to break any New Zealand laws.
