## Content policy

- Provider claims are summarised from public provider pages and are not endorsements.
- Empty provider region, sector or software values mean the public source page did not state the detail.
- Source checked dates describe when this reference checked a page; source update dates describe publisher metadata.
- Follow each record’s linked primary source before relying on it. GIS displays do not replace official land records or licensed cadastral survey advice.
- Māori data requires attention to whakapapa, purpose, governance, access and effects; open access alone does not determine appropriate use.
