Privacy Bill Government Bill Explanatory note General policy statement The Privacy Bill (the Bill) repeals and replaces the Privacy Act 1993 (the Act), as recommended by Law Commission’s 2011 review of the Act.

The Act has been in operation for 25 years.

Over that time, the rise of the Internet and the digital economy has transformed business and government, and the use of person- al information.
New technologies such as social media platforms, e-commerce, Inter- net-connected devices, and cloud storage have changed the way personal information is used.

Large quantities of data are readily stored, retrieved, and disclosed and can be easily sent around the world.

This creates many benefits, but also new challenges for the protection of personal information.

The Law Commission has called for the Act to be updated and modernised to reflect these changes.
Like the Act, the Bill regulates the collection, use, and disclosure of information about individuals.

The Bill retains the Act’s 12 information privacy principles, which seek to protect people’s privacy, while also accommodating legitimate information use by government, firms, and other organisations.

Information privacy principles 6 and 7, for example, continue to provide, respectively, for a person’s right to access and correct information about them.
The Bill also updates the information privacy principles in some respects, for example, to better protect personal information sent overseas.

The Bill retains the Act’s complaints system.

If a person thinks his or her privacy has been breached resulting in harm, he or she can complain to the Privacy Commis- sioner.

The Privacy Commissioner will then attempt to resolve the dispute.

If it is not resolved, the person may take the complaint to the Human Rights Review Tribunal and may seek compensation.
34—1 2 Privacy Bill Explanatory note The Bill introduces additional ways, however, to enforce the information privacy principles.

For example, the Privacy Commissioner will be able to make binding deci- sions on complaints about access to information and issue compliance notices.
The Bill also requires agencies (the name used for any entity handling personal informa- tion) to notify the Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals of any unauthorised access to or disclosure of personal information where that poses a risk of harm.

Purpose of the reforms The key purpose of reforming the Act is to promote people’s confidence that their personal information is secure and will be treated properly.
The Bill achieves this pur- pose through reforms that will help address privacy risks earlier and give the Privacy Commissioner a stronger role.

Public confidence in the way personal information is used and handled will, in turn, support the innovative and effective use of personal information by public and private sector agencies.
Changes made in the Bill The Bill implements most of the Law Commission’s recommendations, and some rec- ommendations from the Privacy Commissioner’s Necessary and Desirable reports.
The key changes are listed below— • • • • • • mandatory reporting of privacy breaches: privacy breaches (unauthorised or accidental access to, or disclosure of, personal information) that pose a risk of harm to people must be notified to the Privacy Commissioner and to affected individuals: compliance notices: the Commissioner will be able to issue compliance notices that require an agency to do something, or stop doing something, in order to comply with privacy law.
The Human Rights Review Tribunal will be able to enforce compliance notices and hear appeals: strengthening cross-border data flow protections: New Zealand agencies will be required to take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information dis- closed overseas will be subject to acceptable privacy standards.
The Bill also clarifies the application of our law when a New Zealand agency engages an overseas service provider: new criminal offences: it will be an offence to mislead an agency in a way that affects someone else’s information and to knowingly destroy documents con- taining personal information where a request has been made for it.
The penalty is a fine not exceeding $10,000: Commissioner making binding decisions on access requests: this reform will enable the Commissioner to make decisions on complaints relating to access to information, rather than the Human Rights Review Tribunal.
The Commission- er’s decisions will be able to be appealed to the Tribunal: strengthening the Privacy Commissioner’s information gathering power: the Commissioner’s existing investigation power is strengthened by allowing him Explanatory note Privacy Bill 3 or her to shorten the time frame within which an agency must comply, and in- creasing the penalty for non-compliance.
The changes will better align New Zealand’s privacy law with international develop- ments, such as the 2013 OECD Privacy Guidelines and the European Union’s forth- coming General Data Protection Regulation.

The Bill modernises and updates the language used in the Act to make the Bill easier to navigate and read.

It also makes minor and technical changes.


For example, it ad- dresses 2 problems that have emerged with Approved Information Sharing Agree- ments (AISAs), namely making it easier for an AISA to apply to a class of agencies, and allowing specified Crown agents to lead an AISA’s development.

The Bill updates authorisations for sharing listed law enforcement information, in- cluding some court information.
It clarifies the relationship between privacy legis- lation and the Senior Courts Act 2016 and the District Court Act 2016.

It also re-es- tablishes the ability to amend authorisations by Order in Council, where the proposed change does not involve sharing court information.

The Bill preserves existing Infor- mation Matching Agreements but, in the future, information matching programmes will be able to be authorised using AISAs.
Departmental disclosure statement The Ministry of Justice is required to prepare a disclosure statement to assist with the scrutiny of this Bill.

The disclosure statement provides access to information about the policy development of the Bill and identifies any significant or unusual legislative features of the Bill.

A copy of the statement can be found at http://legislation.govt.nz/disclosure.aspx?
type=bill&subtype=government&year=2018&no=34 Regulatory impact assessment The Ministry of Justice produced regulatory impact assessments in March 2012 and August 2014 to help inform the main policy decisions taken by the Government relat- ing to the contents of this Bill.
Copies of these regulatory impact assessments can be found at— • • https://www.justice.govt.nz/justice-sector-policy/constitutional-issues-and- human-rights/regulatory-impact-statements/ http://www.treasury.govt.nz/publications/informationreleases/ris Clause 1 states the Bill’s Title.

Clause by clause analysis Clause 2 is the commencement clause and states that the Bill comes into force on 1 July 2019.
As the Bill is intended to come into force 6 months after enactment, this date may need to be updated during the legislative passage of the Bill.

4 Privacy Bill Explanatory note Part 1 Preliminary provisions Subpart 1—Preliminary matters Clause 3 states the purpose of the Bill.

Clause 4 gives effect to the transitional, savings, and related provisions in Schedule 1.

Clause 5 states that the Bill binds the Crown.

Subpart 2—Interpretation and related matters Clause 6 defines terms used in the Bill.
Key terms include agency, information priva- cy principle (IPP), personal information, and public register privacy principle (PRPP).

Terms used in the Bill have substantially the same definitions as in the Pri- vacy Act 1993, which this Bill replaces.
However, 3 notable changes are— • • • the definition of collect is amended to clarify that, in relation to personal infor- mation, collect requires taking a step to seek or obtain the personal informa- tion, and so would include attempting to obtain information: the definition of publicly available publication is amended to clarify that it in- cludes an electronic publication, that a publication can be publicly available even if a fee is charged for access, and that a publicly available publication in- cludes a register maintained under an enactment to the extent that that register may be accessed by members of the public: the definition of unique identifier is replaced to clarify that, in relation to an individual, it means an identifier other than the individual’s name that uniquely identifies the individual.
Clause 7 re-enacts section 3(1) to (3) of the Privacy Act 1993 and sets out the circum- stances in which information is to be treated as being held by an agency.

Clause 8 re-enacts section 3(4) of the Privacy Act 1993, but clarifies that when per- sonal information held by an agency is treated as being held by another agency, it does not matter that the holder agency is outside New Zealand or holds the informa- tion outside New Zealand.
Clause 9 re-enacts section 4 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that agencies are responsible for the actions of, or information disclosed to, their employees.

Part 2 Privacy Commissioner Subpart 1—Appointment of Privacy Commissioner Clause 10 continues the office of the Privacy Commissioner.

As provided in section 12 of the Privacy Act 1993, the Commissioner is a corporation sole and a Crown enti- ty for the purposes of the Crown Entities Act 2004.
Explanatory note Privacy Bill 5 Clause 11 re-enacts section 15 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides for the appoint- ment of a Deputy Privacy Commissioner.

Clause 12 re-enacts section 19 of the Privacy Act 1993 and prohibits the Commis- sioner from holding other offices.

Clause 13 re-enacts clause 4 of Schedule 1 of the Privacy Act 1993 and relates to superannuation and retiring allowances for the Commissioner and Deputy Commis- sioner.
Subpart 2—Functions of Privacy Commissioner Clause 14 re-enacts section 13(1) and (2) of the Privacy Act 1993 and sets out in a more consolidated format the Commissioner’s functions.

There is no change to the Commissioner’s functions, except that the Commissioner will no longer be required to publish directories of personal information (as section 21 of the Privacy Act 1993 is not carried over into the Bill).
Clause 15 re-enacts section 26(1) of the Privacy Act 1993 and requires the Commis- sioner to monitor the operation of the Privacy Act and provide a report to the respon- sible Minister.

Clause 16 re-enacts section 26(2) of the Privacy Act 1993 and requires that a copy of any report received by the responsible Minister under clause 15 be presented to the House of Representatives.

Clause 17 re-enacts section 13(1A) of the Privacy Act 1993 and requires the Com- missioner to act independently.
Clause 18 re-enacts section 14 of the Privacy Act 1993 and sets out the matters that the Commissioner must have regard to, or take account of, when performing his or her functions, or exercising his or her powers.
Part 3 Information privacy principles, public register privacy principles, and codes of practice Subpart 1—Information privacy principles Clause 19 re-enacts the 12 information privacy principles (IPPs) set out in section 6 of the Privacy Act 1993 with the following changes: • • IPP 2 has an additional exception that enables an agency to collect personal in- formation from a source other than the individual concerned if the agency be- lieves, on reasonable grounds, that it is necessary to collect the information from that source to prevent or lessen a serious threat to the life or health of any individual: IPP 3 no longer has the existing exception that permits an agency to collect personal information from the individual concerned without ensuring the indi- 6 • • • • Privacy Bill Explanatory note vidual is aware of specified matters if the collection is authorised by the indi- vidual: IPP 4 now requires an agency to have particular regard to the age of the indi- vidual concerned to ensure the means by which personal information is collec- ted is fair and does not intrude to an unreasonable extent upon the affairs of that individual: IPP 7 is changed with the procedural provisions of existing IPP 7(3) and (5) being moved to Part 4: IPP 11 is changed in 2 respects.
First, there is a new subclause (2), clarifying that an agency may rely on the exception in IPP 11(1)(e)(i) (the maintenance of the law exception) to report any reasonably held belief that an offence has been, or may be, committed.

Secondly, a more substantive change is made by the inclusion of new subclauses (3) to (6).

These new provisions impose addi- tional obligations on agencies when disclosing personal information to an over- seas person to ensure the protection of that information.
Disclosure to an over- seas person will generally only be permissible if— • • • the individual concerned consents to the disclosure of his or her informa- tion to the overseas person; or the overseas person is in a country that is prescribed in regulations as having privacy laws comparable to New Zealand; or the agency believes that the overseas person is required to protect the in- formation in a way that, overall, is comparable to the protections affor- ded by our New Zealand legislation.
IPP 12 is amended to clarify that an agency that simply records a unique iden- tifier assigned by another agency in order to contact that other agency and enable that other agency to locate its records is not assigning the unique identi- fier for use in its own operations.

IPP 12 is also amended to include another exception that permits agencies to use unique identifiers for statistical and re- search purposes.
The third amendment to IPP 12 is to require that, before dis- closing a unique identifier, an agency must take all reasonable steps to mini- mise the risk of misuse of that identifier.

Clause 20 re-enacts section 10 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides, for the purposes of IPP 5 and IPPs 8 to 11, that personal information held by an agency includes infor- mation held by that agency outside New Zealand if that information has been transfer- red out of New Zealand.
For the purposes of IPPs 6 and 7 all personal information held outside New Zealand is covered, whether or not it was transferred outside New Zealand.

Clause 21 re-enacts section 60(1) of the Privacy Act 1993 and requires that an agency administering a public register must comply, so far as is reasonably practicable with the IPPs.

Clause 22 re-enacts section 7 of the Privacy Act 1993, expressing more simply the relationship between the IPPs and other law.
Explanatory note Privacy Bill 7 Clause 23 re-enacts section 8(1) and (5) of the Privacy Act 1993, providing that IPPs 1 to 4 apply only to personal information collected after 2 July 1993, and that IPP 12(1) to (4) applies only to the assignment of unique identifiers after 2 July 1993.

It also clarifies that an agency cannot, after that date, assign to an individual a unique identifier previously assigned to that individual, whether the previous assignment was before or after 2 July 1993.
Clause 24 re-enacts section 56 of the Privacy Act 1993 and exempts from the applica- tion of certain IPPs personal information relating to personal or domestic affairs.

However, 2 changes are made.

The exemption does not apply if the information is being or has been collected by an unlawful means, or by engaging in misleading or deceptive conduct.

It also does not apply if the collection, use, or disclosure of the information would be highly offensive to a reasonable person.
Clause 25 re-enacts section 57 of the Privacy Act 1993 and carries over the existing exemption for the intelligence and security agencies.

Clause 26 re-enacts and consolidates sections 7(5) and 55 of the Privacy Act 1993, which exempt the application of the access and correction principles from 6 classes of information, including information collected by Statistics New Zealand under the Sta- tistics Act 1975.
Clause 27 re-enacts section 54 of the Privacy Act 1993, which empowers the Com- missioner to authorise the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information which would otherwise breach IPP 2, 10, or 11.

The scope of this provision is, however, ex- tended to empower the Commissioner to also authorise the keeping of personal infor- mation in breach of IPP 9.
The application procedure for an authorisation is set out, and requires the applicant to give notice of the application to all individuals con- cerned and to provide those individuals sufficient opportunity to object.

A list of cur- rent authorisations granted under this provision must be kept on the Commissioner’s Internet site.
Clause 28 re-enacts section 11 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that if a public sector agency holds personal information, the individual concerned has a legal right to access that information under IPP 6, and that right may be enforced by a court order.

The IPPs do not otherwise confer any legal rights enforceable in a court.
Subpart 2—Public register privacy principles Clauses 29 to 34 re-enact, with technical changes only, sections 58, 59, 60, 62, and 65 of the Privacy Act 1993 relating to public register privacy principles.
Subpart 3—Codes of practice Clauses 35 to 43 re-enact sections 46 to 53 and 63 to 64 of the Privacy Act 1993, relating to the issue of codes of practice, with the following changes: • a code of practice cannot now be issued containing all of the IPPs without any modification: 8 • • • Privacy Bill Explanatory note providing for the issue of sector-specific codes of practice applying 1 or more of the IPPs to information about deceased persons: requiring the Commissioner to ensure that a code of practice is publicly avail- able on an Internet site: clarify that the failure to comply with a code of practice issued in relation to public registers modifying the application of 1 or more IPP is to be treated as breaching an IPP.
Part 4 Access to and correction of personal information Part 4 re-enacts Parts 4 and 5 of the Privacy Act 1993, re-organising the provisions into a more logical and accessible structure that is divided into 3 subparts.

Subpart 1—Access to personal information Clause 44 defines access request and requestor.
An access request is a request made under IPP 6(1)(a) (request for confirmation whether an agency holds personal infor- mation about the requestor) or IPP 6(1)(b) (request for access to the requestor’s per- sonal information), or both.

Clause 45 re-enacts section 34 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that only indi- viduals (natural persons) may make an access request.
Clause 46 re-enacts section 37 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that a requestor can ask that his or her access request be treated as urgent, giving the reason for the urgency.

The obligation of an agency on receipt of an urgent request is clarified.

The agency must consider the request, and the reason for the request, when determining the priority to be given to responding to it.
Clause 47 re-enacts section 38 of the Privacy Act 1993 and requires an agency to give reasonable assistance to an individual who wishes to make an access request, or who is making an access request.

Clause 48 re-enacts section 39 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides for the transfer of access requests.

However, an agency is not now be required to transfer a request if the agency has good cause to believe that the requestor does not want his or her re- quest transferred.
If an agency, does not transfer a request in reliance on this belief the agency must, within 10 working days, inform the requestor and supply the name of the agency to which the request could be transferred.

Clause 49 sets out the procedure that an agency must follow on receipt of a request made under IPP 6(1)(a).

There is no change to the current procedural requirements, which are now consolidated in this clause.
Clause 50 sets out the procedure that an agency must follow on receipt of a request made under IPP 6(1)(b).

There is no change to the current procedural requirements, which are now consolidated in this clause.

Explanatory note Privacy Bill 9 Clause 51 re-enacts section 41 of the Privacy Act 1993 and enables an agency to ex- tend the time limit for transferring or deciding whether to grant an access request.
The circumstances for extending a time limit now also include if the processing of the re- quest raises complex issues.

Clause 52 groups together the reasons that an agency may give for refusing an access request made under IPP 6(1)(b) that are related to the safety of the requestor.
In add- ition to the existing reasons in sections 27(1)(d) and 29(1)(c), (d), (e) and (4) of the Privacy Act 1993, 2 further reasons are included for refusing access to information requested— • • the disclosure of the information would create a significant likelihood of ser- ious harassment of an individual: the disclosure of the information would involve the disclosure of information about another individual who is the victim of an offence or alleged offence and would cause that person significant distress, loss of dignity, or injury to feel- ings.
In any case where an agency is proposing to refuse an access request because disclos- ure of the information would be likely to prejudice the physical or mental health of the requestor, the agency may consult with the requestor’s health practitioner (and is not limited to consulting with the requestor’s medical practitioner as currently).
Clause 53 re-enacts section 29(1)(b) and (3) of the Privacy Act 1993 and sets out when an agency may refuse an access request made under IPP 6(1)(b) if the informa- tion requested is evaluative material.

An agency may now also refuse to disclose eval- uative material if that material was made available to the agency by another agency and that other agency has grounds for refusing to disclose the material.
It is also clari- fied that evaluative or opinion material provided by a person within the agency as part of his or her job is not evaluative material for the purposes of this provision.

Clause 54 re-enacts section 27 of the Privacy Act 1993 and sets out when an agency may refuse an access request made under IPP 6(1)(b) for reasons related to the secur- ity and defence of New Zealand or prejudice to international relations.
Clause 55 re-enacts section 28 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that an agency may refuse an access request made under IPP 6(1)(b) if making the information avail- able would disclose a trade secret.

Clause 56 re-enacts section 29(2) of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that an agency may refuse an access request made under IPP 6(1)(b) if the information re- quested is not readily available, doesn’t exist, cannot be found, or is not held by the agency.
Clause 57 groups together all the other reasons that an agency may give for refusing an access request made under IPP 6(1)(b).

In addition to the existing grounds in sec- tions 27(1)(c), 29(1)(a) and (f) to (j) of the Privacy Act 1993, an agency may also re- fuse an access request if the agency has reasonable grounds for believing that the re- quest was made under duress.
10 Privacy Bill Explanatory note Clause 58 expressly provides that instead of refusing an access request made under IPP 6(1)(b), an agency may grant access but impose conditions relating to the reques- tor’s use of the information or the requestor’s disclosure of the information, or both.
Clause 59 re-enacts section 44 of the Privacy Act 1993 and specifies the matters a requestor must be informed of if an agency responds to an access request made under IPP 6(1)(a) or (b) by neither confirming nor denying that it holds information about the requestor.

Clause 60 re-enacts section 44 of the Privacy Act 1993 and specifies the matters a requestor must be informed of if an agency refuses an access request made under IPP 6(1)(b).
If the reason for refusing the request is that the information is evaluative ma- terial, the grounds in support of that reason must be disclosed to the requestor auto- matically, unless the giving of those grounds would be prejudicial to the interest pro- tected.
Clause 61 re-enacts section 43 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that if there is good reason for withholding some of the information in a document, the other infor- mation in that document may be made available by releasing a copy of the document with deletions and alterations.

In relation to the information that is withheld, the agency has the same obligations as specified in clause 60.
Clause 62 re-enacts section 42 of the Privacy Act 1993 and sets out the ways infor- mation may be made available to a requestor.

An agency must make the information available in the way preferred by the requestor unless to do so would impair adminis- trative efficiency or be contrary to a legal duty.

Clause 63 re-enacts section 45 of the Privacy Act 1993 and sets out the responsibil- ities of an agency before giving access to information.
Subpart 2—Correction of personal information Clause 64 defines correction request and requestor.

A correction request is a request made under IPP 7(1)(a) (request to correct information) or IPP 7(2)(b) (request that a statement of correction be attached to the information).

Clause 65 re-enacts section 34 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that only indi- viduals (natural persons) may make correction requests.
Clause 66 re-enacts section 37 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that a requestor can ask that his or her request be treated as urgent, giving the reason for the urgency.

The obligation of an agency on receipt of an urgent request is clarified.

The agency must consider the request, and reason for the request, when determining the priority to be given to responding to it.
Clause 67 re-enacts section 38 of the Privacy Act 1993 and requires an agency to give reasonable assistance to an individual who wishes to make a correction request, or who is making a correction request.

Clause 68 re-enacts section 39 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides for the transfer of a correction request.

Explanatory note Privacy Bill 11 Clause 69 sets out the procedure that an agency must follow on receipt of a request made under IPP 7(1)(a).
The matters that must be notified to a requestor are speci- fied.

If a request is not granted, the requestor must be informed of the reason, that he or she may provide a statement of correction with a request under IPP 7(2)(b), and of his or her right to make a complaint to the Commissioner.

Clause 70 sets out the procedure that an agency must follow on receipt of a request made under IPP 7(2)(b).
If an agency takes no steps to attach a statement of correc- tion as requested, the agency must inform the requestor.

Clause 71 re-enacts section 41 of the Privacy Act 1993 and enables an agency to ex- tend the time limit for transferring or deciding whether to grant a correction required.
Subpart 3—Charges Clause 72 re-enacts sections 35(1) to (5) and 40(2) of the Privacy Act 1993 and more clearly sets out the charges that may be imposed by a public sector agency (if author- ised by the Commissioner) and a private sector agency.

A public sector agency may not now be authorised by the Commissioner to charge for correcting information in accordance with a request made under IPP 7(1)(a).
Clause 73 re-enacts section 73 of the Privacy Act 1993, which provides for the Com- missioner to authorise a public sector agency to impose a charge for granting an ac- cess request and for attaching a statement of correction to personal information.
Part 5 Complaints, investigations, and proceedings Part 5 re-enacts Parts 8 and 9 of the Privacy Act 1993 and sets out the procedures for making, investigating, and resolving complaints, or investigating and resolving mat- ters that the Commissioner considers are an interference with the privacy of an indi- vidual.

New Part 5 essentially carries over the existing procedures but more clearly identifies the types of complaints that may be made and the resolution pathway for each type of complaint.
However, there are 2 substantive changes— • • if the Commissioner determines that a complaint about an agency refusing to make personal information available has substance, the Commissioner may di- rect the agency to make the information available.
The complaint need not be referred to the Human Rights Review Tribunal as at present, although an agency may appeal to the Tribunal against the Commissioner’s direction: the Commissioner may now impose a time limit for a person to provide infor- mation, documents, or things within that person’s possession or control that the Commissioner considers may be relevant to an investigation.

If no time limit is imposed by the Commissioner, the current default period of 20 working days applies.
Any extension of the time limit is now at the discretion of the Com- missioner.

12 Privacy Bill Explanatory note Clause 74 defines terms used in new Part 5, including aggrieved individual and com- plainant.

Clause 75 re-enacts section 66 of the Privacy Act 1993 and sets out the circumstances in which an action is an interference with the privacy of an individual.
These circum- stances now include a refusal of a request that a statement of correction be attached to personal information, a failure to meet time limits in relation to correction requests, and undue delay in correcting information after granting a request.

The term interfer- ence with the privacy of an individual is key to Part 5.
Clause 76 specifies the 2 types of complaint that may be made— Subpart 1—Complaints • • a complaint alleging that an action of an agency is, or appears to be, an interfer- ence with the privacy of an individual: a public register complaint.

Clause 77 re-enacts section 67(1) of the Privacy Act 1993 and expressly provides that a complaint may be made by an aggrieved individual.

A complaint may now also be bought by a representative of 1 or more aggrieved individuals.
Clause 78 re-enacts sections 67(2) and 68 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that a complaint must be made to the Commissioner, and may be made orally or in writing.

An oral complaint must be put in writing as soon as practicable.

Clause 79 re-enacts sections 70, 71(3), 72(3), 72A(3), 72B(3) and 72C(3) of the Pri- vacy Act 1993.

These provisions are drawn together to set out the 6 options available to the Commissioner on receiving a complaint.
Clause 80 re-enacts section 71(1) of the Privacy Act 1993 and sets out the circum- stances in which the Commissioner may decide not to investigate a complaint.
These circumstances are expanded to include— • • • the complainant has not made reasonable efforts to resolve the complaint with the agency concerned: there is an alternative dispute resolution process available to the complainant: the complainant knew about the action that is the subject of the complaint for 12 months or more before making the complaint.
Clause 81 provides that the Commissioner may decide to defer taking action on the complaint if— • • the complainant has not complained to the agency concerned; and the Commissioner considers the complainant should do so in an attempt to di- rectly resolve the complaint.
Clause 82 re-enacts sections 72, 72A, and 72B of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides for the Commissioner to refer a complaint to an Ombudsman, the Health and Disabili- ty Commissioner, the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security, or the Independ- ent Police Conduct Authority.

The Commissioner may only make a referral if the Explanatory note Privacy Bill 13 complaint relates to a matter more properly within the jurisdiction of one of those people.
Clause 83 re-enacts section 72C of the Privacy Act 1993 and enables the Commis- sioner to refer a complaint to an overseas privacy enforcement authority if the com- plaint relates to a matter that is more properly within the jurisdiction of that authority.

Clause 84 re-enacts sections 74 and 77(2)(c) of the Privacy Act 1993 and enables the Commissioner, before investigating a complaint, to explore the possibility of settle- ment.
If appropriate, the Commissioner may also endeavour to secure a satisfactory assurance from the agency whose action is the subject of the complaint that there will not be a repetition of that action.

Subpart 2—Investigations by Commissioner Clause 85 provides that subpart 2 of Part 5 applies to investigations conducted by the Commissioner— • • on complaints; or on his or her own initiative, in relation to any matter in respect of which a com- plaint may be made.
Clause 86 re-enacts section 73 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that, as the first step of an investigation, the Commissioner must notify the aggrieved individual and the respondent that an investigation is being commenced.

Clause 87 re-enacts section 74 and 77(1) and (2) of the Privacy Act 1993 and enables the Commissioner, at any time during an investigation, to explore the possibility of securing a settlement and a satisfactory assurance.
Clause 88 re-enacts sections 71(2), 75, 90(1) and (2) of the Privacy Act 1993, draw- ing together the provisions relating to the procedure for conducting an investigation.

Clause 89 re-enacts section 90(3) of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that when conducting an investigation the Commissioner may regulate his or her own proced- ure.
Clause 90 re-enacts section 76 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that at any time during an investigation the Commissioner may call a conference of the parties to identify the matters in issue and to try to obtain a resolution of those issues.

Clause 91 re-enacts section 91 of the Privacy Act 1993 and gives the Commissioner power to summon and examine on oath any person who the Commissioner thinks has information relevant to the investigation.
Clause 92 re-enacts sections 92 and 93 of the Privacy Act 1993 and gives the Com- missioner power to require any person to provide any information, documents, or things in that person’s possession or under that person’s control the Commissioner considers may be relevant to an investigation.

The Commissioner will be able to spe- cify any date by which the person must comply, otherwise the default period of 20 working days applies.
Any extension of the time limit is at the discretion of the Com- missioner, not at the discretion of the agency as currently.

14 Privacy Bill Explanatory note Clause 93 re-enacts section 95 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that the Com- missioner may exercise his or her powers in clauses 91 and 92 in respect of a person even though compliance by that person would breach an obligation of secrecy or non- disclosure.
Clause 94 re-enacts section 94 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides for the protec- tion and privileges of persons required to give evidence or provide information, docu- ments, or things to the Commissioner.

Clause 95 re-enacts section 96 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that any infor- mation, document, or thing provided to the Commissioner is privileged.
Clause 96 details the procedure to be followed after the Commissioner has completed an investigation of an action under subpart 1 of Part 4 (access to personal informa- tion) that appears to be an interference with the privacy of an individual.
As an alter- native to referring a complaint or matter to the Director, the Commissioner may now direct an agency to confirm whether it holds any specified information, or to permit the complainant access to specified information, or to make specified information available to the complainant in a particular way.
Clause 97 re-enacts section 75 and 78 of the Privacy Act 1993 and details the proced- ure to be followed after the Commissioner has completed an investigation of an ac- tion of an agency under subpart 3 of Part 4 (charges relating to access or correction requests) that appears to be an interference with the privacy of an individual.

There is no change to the current procedure that enables the Commissioner to make a deter- mination as to the appropriate charge which is final and binding on both parties.
Clause 98 re-enacts section 61 of the Privacy Act 1993 and details the procedure to be followed after the Commissioner has completed an investigation of a public regis- ter complaint.

Explanatory note Privacy Bill 15 Clause 103 re-enacts section 83 of the Privacy Act 1993 and sets out the circum- stances in which an aggrieved individual may commence proceedings in the Tribunal in respect of a complaint or matter.
These circumstances now include— • • if the Commissioner determines that a complaint has substance, or that a matter should be proceeded with, but does not refer the complaint or matter to the Director: if the Commissioner makes a direction that an agency provide access to person- al information, but the aggrieved individual is not satisfied with the terms of that direction.

The time frames for commencing a proceeding are specified.
Clause 104 re-enacts section 86 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that the Director may appear and be heard in any proceedings commenced in the Tribunal by an aggrieved individual under clause 103.

Clause 105 is a new provision and provides that an apology given by an agency is not admissible as evidence in any civil proceedings against the agency under Part 5, ex- cept for the purpose of assessing remedies to be awarded against the agency.
Clause 106 re-enacts section 87 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that the defend- ant has the onus of proving that an action is excepted or exempted from being an interference with the privacy of an individual.

Access orders Clause 109 is a new provision that enables an aggrieved individual to apply to the Tribunal for an access order requiring an agency to comply with a direction made by the Commissioner under clause 96(5)(a).
Appeals against direction made after investigation of IPP 6 breach Clause 110 is a new provision that enables an agency to appeal to the Tribunal against a direction made by the Commissioner under clause 96(5)(a).

Clause 111 provides that an appeal under clause 110 must be lodged within 20 work- ing days of receiving notice of the Commissioner’s direction.
Clause 112 allows the chairperson of the Tribunal to make an interim suspending a direction made by the Commissioner under clause 96(5)(a) while an appeal is heard.

16 Privacy Bill Explanatory note The chairperson must be satisfied that suspending the direction is necessary and in the interests of justice.

A party can apply to the High Court to vary or rescind an interim order, unless the order was made with that party’s consent.
An application to the High Court can be made only with the leave of the Tribunal.

If an application is made, a party cannot also appeal the interim order.

Clause 113 provides that the Tribunal may determine an appeal on the papers if it considers it appropriate, but before doing so the Tribunal must give the parties a reasonable opportunity to comment on whether the proceeding should be dealt with in that manner.

Clause 114 sets out the powers of the Tribunal on hearing an appeal.
The Tribunal may require the Commissioner to provide either or both of the following: • • a written report setting out the considerations the Commissioner had regard to in making the direction: any information held by the Commissioner required to determine the appeal.

The Tribunal may confirm, modify, or reverse the direction appealed against, and may also award damages.
Miscellaneous Clause 115 re-enacts section 85(2) and (3), and 86(4) of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that the Tribunal may award costs against either party.

Clause 116 re-enacts section 89 of the Privacy Act 1993 and applies relevant provi- sions of the Human Rights Act 1993 to proceedings of the Tribunal.

Part 6 Notifiable privacy breaches and compliance notices Subpart 1—Notifiable privacy breaches Clause 117 sets out definitions for 3 terms used in subpart 1 of Part 6.
Those terms are affected individual, notifiable privacy breach, and privacy breach.

Clause 117 also states that the meanings of access, disclosure, and loss are not limited by the use of those words or the meanings ascribed to them elsewhere in the Act.

Clause 118 requires an agency to notify the Commissioner if the agency suffers a no- tifiable privacy breach as soon as practicable after becoming aware of it.
Clause 119 requires an agency to notify any affected individual if the agency suffers a notifiable privacy breach as soon as practicable after becoming aware of it.

If it is not reasonably practicable to notify an affected individual or each member of a group of affected individuals, the agency must instead give public notice of the privacy breach.

Exceptions to both these requirements are set out in clause 120.
If subclause (2) or an exception in clause 120 is relied on, the agency must at a later time notify an affected individual, if circumstances change so that subclause (2) or the exception no longer applies and if, at that later time, there is or remains a risk that the breach will cause Explanatory note Privacy Bill 17 harm to an individual.

Harm is defined by reference to clause 75(2)(b).

A failure to notify an affected individual may be an interference with privacy under clause 75(2)(a)(iv).
Clause 120 sets out 6 exceptions to the requirement to notify affected individuals or give public notice of a notifiable privacy breach.

3 of these exceptions come from section 6(a), (c), and (d) of the Official Information Act 1982.

The other 2 exceptions apply to 2 categories of vulnerable persons.
These are individuals aged under 16 years, if notification is contrary to the interests of the individual and any individual, if notification is likely to prejudice the physical or mental health of that individual.

In both cases the agency must consider whether to instead notify a representative of the individual.
Representative is defined as a parent or guardian (for individuals aged under 16 years) or an individual appearing to be lawfully acting on behalf of the affected individual or in his or her interests (for individuals aged 16 years or over).

The agency must notify the Commissioner as soon as practicable if the agency relies on any of the exceptions and also if the agency cannot, or decides not to, notify a rep- resentative.
Clause 121 sets out the types of information that must be included in notifications to the Commissioner or affected persons.

A notification to an affected individual must not include information about other affected individuals.

The information can be pro- vided incrementally.

Clause 122 creates an offence if an agency, without reasonable excuse, fails to notify the Commissioner of a notifiable privacy breach.

The penalty is a fine not exceeding $10,000.


It is not a defence that the agency did not consider the privacy breach to be a notifiable privacy breach, when it was reasonable to have done so, or that the agency has taken steps to address the privacy breach.

Clause 123 allows the Commissioner to publish the identity of an agency that has no- tified him or her of a notifiable privacy breach if the agency consents or if the Com- missioner is satisfied that it is the public interest to do so.
Subpart 2—Compliance notices Clause 124 allows the Commissioner to issue a compliance notice to an agency if he or she considers that 1 or both of the things listed in the clause may have occurred.
These are— • • a breach of the Act, including an action listed in clause 75(2)(a) (which lists actions that may be an interference with privacy, for example, a breach of an IPP) or non-compliance with a PRPP: an action that is to be treated as a breach of an IPP or an interference with the privacy of an individual under another Act.

The Commissioner may, but is not required to, first make an assessment of whether any person has suffered harm or use any other means under any Act for dealing with the breach.
The Commissioner may issue a compliance notice at any time, including at the same time that the breach is being dealt with in another way.

18 Privacy Bill Explanatory note Clause 125 sets out factors the Commissioner must consider before issuing a compli- ance notice.

Each of the factors needs to be considered only to the extent that the Commissioner considers it is relevant and information about the factor is readily available to the Commissioner.
Before a compliance notice can be issued, the agency concerned must be given a reasonable opportunity to comment on a written notice— • • • • • describing the breach, citing the relevant statutory provision or provisions: summarising the Commissioner’s conclusions about the factors he or she has considered: describing any particular steps the Commissioner proposes to require the agency to take to remedy the breach (if any): describing any conditions the Commissioner proposes to impose (if any): stating the date or dates by which the Commissioner proposes the agency must remedy the breach and report to him or her (if any).
In each case, the Commissioner must determine what is a reasonable period to give the agency to comment, taking into account the circumstances of the breach.

The term breach is defined as meaning any of the things described in clause 124(1)(a) and (b).

The term remedy the breach is defined as meaning to comply with the rele- vant statutory provision or provisions.

Clause 126 sets out requirements for the form and service of a compliance notice.
Clause 127 requires an agency served with a compliance notice to take steps to com- ply with the notice as soon as practicable after receiving the notice and to remedy the breach by the date stated in the notice.

The agency need not do so if that date is varied or modified, or the notice is cancelled or suspended, under subpart 2 of Part 6.

Clause 128 allows the Commissioner to vary or cancel all or part of a compliance no- tice in 3 specified circumstances.
Clause 129 gives the Commissioner a power to obtain information, including a power to summons a person, as if the Commissioner were carrying out an investigation under Part 5.

Clause 130 allows the Commissioner to take enforcement proceedings in the Human Rights Review Tribunal.
The Commissioner must have reason to believe that the agency has not remedied or will not remedy the breach by the date stated in the com- pliance notice, or has failed to report to the Commissioner by the date stated in the notice, and the time for an appeal against the notice has passed.

An agency may object to enforcement only on the ground that it believes the notice has been fully complied with.
The Tribunal must not examine or make any determination about the issuing or merits of a compliance notice but may examine and determine whether it has been fully complied with.

Clause 131 allows an agency to appeal to the Tribunal against all or part of a compli- ance notice or a decision by the Commissioner under clause 128 to vary, not vary, or Explanatory note Privacy Bill 19 not cancel a compliance notice.
Clause 131 also sets out the powers of the Tribunal on appeal and specifies 2 reasons for which a compliance notice cannot be cancelled or modified by the Tribunal.

These are— • • the breach was unintentional or without negligence on the part of the agency: the agency has taken steps to remedy the breach, unless there is no further reasonable step that can be taken.
Clause 132 allows the Chairperson of the Tribunal to make an interim order suspend- ing all or part of a compliance notice while an appeal is heard.

The Chairperson must be satisfied that suspending the notice is necessary and in the interests of justice.

A party can apply to the High Court to vary or rescind an interim order, unless the order was made with the party’s consent.

An application to the High Court can be made only with the leave of the Tribunal.
If an application is made, a party cannot also ap- peal the interim order.

Clause 133 sets out the remedies that may be given by the Tribunal in enforcement proceedings and on appeal against a compliance notice or a decision under clause 128.

An agency that, without reasonable excuse, fails to comply with certain orders of the Tribunal commits an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $10,000.

Costs may be awarded by the Tribunal and enforced in the District Court.
Clause 134 applies Part 4 of the Human Rights Act 1993 to proceedings under sub- part 2 of Part 6.

Part 4 relates to the constitution, powers, and procedure of the Tribu- nal.

It also allows for appeals to the High Court and Court of Appeal.

Sections 97, 108A, and 108B in Part 4 of the Human Rights Act 1993 do not apply to proceedings under subpart 2 of Part 6.

All other sections in Part 4 apply with any necessary modi- fications.
Clause 135 allows the Commissioner to appear in proceedings under subpart 2 of Part 6 either in person or represented by counsel or an agent.
Part 7 Sharing, accessing, and matching personal information Subpart 1—Information sharing Clauses 136 to 161 re-enact Part 9A and Schedule 2A of the Privacy Act 1993 (that authorise information sharing in accordance with an approved information sharing agreement to facilitate the provision of public services) with the following substantive changes: • • a new term, specified organisation, is introduced, which means any of a num- ber of specified Crown agencies (statutory entities named in Part 1 of Schedule 1 of the Crown Entities Act 2004) (clause 138): the current requirement that 1 of the parties to an agreement must be a depart- ment, or part of a department, is changed so that a specified organisation, or part of a specified organisation, may be a requisite party (clause 141): 20 • • • Privacy Bill Explanatory note the concept of representative party has been removed and replaced by a provi- sion that enables an agreement to apply to a class of agencies, and for any member of that class to subsequently become a party to the agreement by being named as a party in a schedule to the agreement (clause 142): a specified organisation will be able to be designated as the lead agency for an agreement (clause 143): parties proposing to enter into an information sharing agreement that specifies a class of agencies to which the agreement may apply must consult and invite submissions on the proposed agreement from any person or organisation repre- senting that class (clause 150).
Subpart 2—Identity information Clauses 162 to 168 re-enact Part 10A and Schedule 4A of the Privacy Act 1993 (which authorise specified agencies, when carrying out particular functions, to access information held by other specified agencies to verify the identity of individuals) without change.
Subpart 3—Law enforcement information Clauses 169 to 173 re-enact Part 11 and Schedule 5 of the Privacy Act 1993 (which authorise specified public sector agencies to have access to law enforcement informa- tion held by other specified agencies about identifiable individuals) with the follow- ing substantive changes: • • clause 172 clarifies that access to court information under new Schedule 5 af- forded by this provision prevails over section 237 (and Schedule 1) of the Dis- trict Court Act 2016 and section 174 (and Schedule 2) of the Senior Courts Act 2016.
This means that public sector agencies can access court information under subpart 3 of Part 7 without having an approved information sharing agreement in place, as required by the latter provisions: clause 173 provides that Schedule 5 (other than law enforcement information described in that schedule as court records) may be amended or replaced by Order in Council on the recommendation of the Minister of Justice after con- sultation with the Commissioner.
Subpart 4—Authorised information matching programmes Clauses 174 to 191 re-enact Part 10 and Schedules 3 and 4 of the Privacy Act 1993 (which authorise agencies to compare personal information in accordance with an authorised information matching programme).

However, subpart 4 of Part 7 will apply to only the authorised information matching programmes currently in existence.

New information matching programmes cannot be entered into under subpart 4 of Part 7.
This is implemented by— • inserting a new application provision (clause 175): Explanatory note Privacy Bill 21 • • • carrying over into the Bill the information matching provisions listed in Sched- ule 3 of the Privacy Act 1993, except those provisions that currently have no agreements sitting under them (Schedule 6): providing that Schedule 6 (Information matching provisions) may be amended by Order in Council on the recommendation of the Minister of Justice by up- dating or repealing any information matching provision or repealing Schedule 6 in its entirety: inserting a schedule that consequentially amends other enactments to provide that existing information matching agreements can continue, but no new infor- mation matching agreement can be entered into under an information matching provision (Schedule 8).
The following substantive changes are also made: • • • • the definition of adverse action is amended to include, as examples, decisions to impose a penalty and to recover a penalty or fine: carrying over into the Bill the information matching rules set out in Schedule 4 of the Privacy Act 1993, except clauses 3 and 8 (relating to on-line transfers and time limits) (Schedule 7): section 98 of the Privacy Act 1993 (information matching guidelines) has not been carried over: section 101 of the Privacy Act 1993 is now incorporated in clause 5 of the in- formation matching rules set out in Schedule 7.
Part 8 Transfer of personal information outside New Zealand Clauses 192 to 200 re-enact, without change, Part 11A of the Privacy Act 1993.

Part 9 Miscellaneous provisions Clause 201 re-enacts section 23 of the Privacy Act 1993 and requires an agency to appoint at least 1 privacy officer.

Clause 202 re-enacts section 22 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that the Com- missioner may require an agency to supply information needed to respond to inquiries from the public.
Clause 203 provides that when conducting an inquiry under clause 14(1)(i) the Com- missioner has the same powers as when conducting an investigation under Part 5.

Clause 204 re-enacts section 20 of the Privacy Act 1993 and relates to the obtaining of declaratory judgments.

Clause 205 re-enacts section 115 of the Privacy Act 1993 and protects agencies from legal liability where personal information is made available in good faith under IPP 6.
22 Privacy Bill Explanatory note Clause 206 re-enacts section 116 of the Privacy Act 1993 and requires the Commis- sioner and his or her staff to maintain secrecy.

Clause 207 is a new provision and enables the Commissioner to share information with overseas privacy enforcement authorities subject to any conditions the Commis- sioner considers appropriate.
Clause 208 re-enacts sections 117, 117A, and 117B of the Privacy Act 1993 and pro- vides for the Commissioner to consult the Ombudsman, the Health and Disability Commissioner, and the Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security about any matter relating to his or her functions.
Clause 209 re-enacts section 119 of the Privacy Act 1993 and prevents claims of pub- lic interest immunity, in order to exclude evidence, in the course of investigations by the Commissioner, proceedings before the Commissioner or the Tribunal, or in judicial review proceedings.
Clause 210 re-enacts section 120 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides that the Com- missioner must not, in any report or statement, make any comment that is adverse to any person unless that person has been given the opportunity to be heard.

Clause 211 re-enacts section 126 of the Privacy Act 1993 and deals with liability of employers and principals.

Clause 212 re-enacts section 127 of the Privacy Act 1993 and is an offence provision.
There are 2 new offences relating to impersonation and the destruction of documents.

The penalty for all offences in this clause is, on conviction, a fine not exceeding $10,000 (up from $2,000 in the case of existing offences).

Clause 213 re-enacts section 128 of the Privacy Act 1993 and provides for the mak- ing of regulations.

A new provision is inserted to provide for the making of regula- tions specifying the information to be included in a compliance notice.
Clause 214 repeals the Privacy Act 1993 and revokes the Privacy Regulations 1993.

Cause 215 consequentially amends the enactments specified in Schedule 10.

Clause 216 provides that clause 215 and Schedule 10 expire on 1 January 2020 and at the close of that date are repealed.

Information privacy principle 2 Source of personal information If an agency collects personal information, the information must be col- lected from the individual concerned.
It is not necessary for an agency to comply with subclause (1) if the agency believes, on reasonable grounds,— (a) that non-compliance would not prejudice the interests of the indi- vidual concerned; or that compliance would prejudice the purposes of the collection; or that the individual concerned authorises collection of the infor- mation from someone else; or that the information is publicly available information; or that non-compliance is necessary— (i) (b) (c) (d) (e) to avoid prejudice to the maintenance of the law by any public sector agency, including prejudice to the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution, and punishment of offences; or for the enforcement of a law that imposes a pecuniary pen- alty; or for the protection of public revenue; or for the conduct of proceedings before any court or tribunal (being proceedings that have been commenced or are reasonably in contemplation); or to prevent or lessen a serious threat to the life or health of the individual concerned or any other individual; or (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) (f) (g) that compliance is not reasonably practicable in the circum- stances of the particular case; or that the information— (i) will not be used in a form in which the individual concerned is identified; or (b) (1) (2) 20 Privacy Bill Part 3 cl 19 (ii) will be used for statistical or research purposes and will not be published in a form that could reasonably be expected to identify the individual concerned.

The steps referred to in subclause (1) must be taken before the infor- mation is collected or, if that is not practicable, as soon as practicable after the information is collected.

An agency is not required to take the steps referred to in subclause (1) in relation to the collection of information from an individual if the agency has taken those steps on a recent previous occasion in relation to the collection, from that individual, of the same information or informa- tion of the same kind.
It is not necessary for an agency to comply with subclause (1) if the agency believes, on reasonable grounds,— (a) that non-compliance would not prejudice the interests of the indi- vidual concerned; or that non-compliance is necessary— (i) to avoid prejudice to the maintenance of the law by any public sector agency, including prejudice to the prevention, (b) (1) (2) (3) (4) 21 Part 3 cl 19 Privacy Bill (ii) (iii) (iv) detection, investigation, prosecution, and punishment of offences; or for the enforcement of a law that imposes a pecuniary pen- alty; or for the protection of public revenue; or for the conduct of proceedings before any court or tribunal (being proceedings that have been commenced or are reasonably in contemplation); or (c) (d) (e) that compliance would prejudice the purposes of the collection; or that compliance is not reasonably practicable in the circum- stances of the particular case; or that the information— (i) will not be used in a form in which the individual concerned is identified; or (ii) will be used for statistical or research purposes and will not be published in a form that could reasonably be expected to identify the individual concerned.
Information privacy principle 4 Manner of collection of personal information An agency may collect personal information only— (a) (b) by a lawful means; and by a means that, in the circumstances of the case (having regard particu- larly to the age of the individual concerned),— (i) (ii) is fair; and does not intrude to an unreasonable extent upon the personal af- fairs of the individual concerned.
Information privacy principle 5 Storage and security of personal information An agency that holds personal information must ensure— (a) that the information is protected, by such security safeguards as it is reasonable in the circumstances to take, against— (i) (ii) loss; and access, use, modification, or disclosure that is not authorised by the agency; and other misuse; and (iii) that, if it is necessary for the information to be given to a person in con- nection with the provision of a service to the agency, everything reason- (b) 22 Privacy Bill Part 3 cl 19 ably within the power of the agency is done to prevent unauthorised use or unauthorised disclosure of the information.
Information privacy principle 6 Access to personal information If an agency holds personal information, an individual is entitled to receive from the agency— (a) confirmation of whether the agency holds any personal informa- tion about him or her: access to his or her personal information.

Information privacy principle 10 Limits on use of personal information (1) An agency that holds personal information that was obtained in connection with one purpose may not use the information for any other purpose unless the agency believes, on reasonable grounds,— (a) that the purpose for which the information is used is directly rela- ted to the purpose in connection with which the information was obtained; or that the information— (i) is used in a form in which the individual concerned is not identified; or is used for statistical or research purposes and will not be published in a form that could reasonably be expected to identify the individual concerned; or (ii) that the use of the information for that other purpose is authorised by the individual concerned; or that the source of the information is a publicly available publica- tion and that, in the circumstances of the case, it would not be un- fair or unreasonable to use the information; or that the use of the information for that other purpose is neces- sary— (i) to avoid prejudice to the maintenance of the law by any public sector agency, including prejudice to the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution, and punishment of offences; or for the enforcement of a law that imposes a pecuniary pen- alty; or for the protection of public revenue; or for the conduct of proceedings before any court or tribunal (being proceedings that have been commenced or are reasonably in contemplation); or (ii) (iii) (iv) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) that the use of the information for that other purpose is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious threat to— (i) public health or public safety; or 24 (2) (1) Privacy Bill Part 3 cl 19 (ii) the life or health of the individual concerned or another in- dividual.
In addition to the uses authorised by subclause (1), an intelligence and security agency that holds personal information that was obtained in connection with one purpose may use the information for any other purpose (a secondary purpose) if the agency believes on reasonable grounds that the use of the information for the secondary purpose is necessary to enable the agency to perform any of its functions.
Information privacy principle 11 Limits on disclosure of personal information An agency that holds personal information must not disclose the information to any other agency or to any person unless the agency believes, on reasonable grounds,— (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) that the disclosure of the information is one of the purposes in connection with which the information was obtained or is directly related to the purposes in connection with which the information was obtained; or that the disclosure is to the individual concerned; or that the disclosure is authorised by the individual concerned; or that the source of the information is a publicly available publica- tion and that, in the circumstances of the case, it would not be un- fair or unreasonable to disclose the information; or that the disclosure of the information is necessary— (i) to avoid prejudice to the maintenance of the law by any public sector agency, including prejudice to the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution, and punishment of offences; or for the enforcement of a law that imposes a pecuniary pen- alty; or for the protection of public revenue; or for the conduct of proceedings before any court or tribunal (being proceedings that have been commenced or are reasonably in contemplation); or (ii) (iii) (iv) that the disclosure of the information is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious threat to— (i) (ii) public health or public safety; or the life or health of the individual concerned or another in- dividual; or (g) that the disclosure of the information is necessary to enable an in- telligence and security agency to perform any of its functions; or 25 Part 3 cl 19 Privacy Bill (h) that the information— (i) (ii) is to be used in a form in which the individual concerned is not identified; or is to be used for statistical or research purposes and will not be published in a form that could reasonably be expected to identify the individual concerned; or (i) that the disclosure of the information is necessary to facilitate the sale or other disposition of a business as a going concern.
(2) Without limiting the generality of subclause (1)(e)(i), an example of (3) disclosure under that subclause is reporting to the New Zealand Police a reasonably held belief that an offence has been, or may be, committed.
An agency (A) may not disclose personal information to an overseas person (B) in reliance on subclause (1)(a), (c), (e), (f), (h), or (i) unless— (a) (b) section 8 applies to A and B; or the individual concerned authorises the disclosure of the informa- tion to B; or B is in a prescribed country or State; or A believes on reasonable grounds that B is required to protect the information in a way that, overall, provides comparable safe- guards to those in this Act.
(c) (d) (4) However, subclause (3) does not apply if the personal information is to be disclosed to an overseas person in reliance on subclause (1)(e) or (f) and it is not reasonably practicable in the circumstances for A to comply with the requirements of subclause (3).

(6) (5) Without limiting the generality of subclause (3)(d), an example of A having the necessary belief on reasonable grounds is A having entered into an agreement with B that provides comparable safeguards to those in this Act.
In this principle,— overseas person means a person outside New Zealand who is not subject to this Act prescribed country or State means a country or State that is specified in regulations as having privacy laws comparable to those of New Zealand.

Information privacy principle 12 Unique identifiers (1) An agency (Agency A) may assign a unique identifier to an individual for use in its operations only if that identifier is necessary to enable Agency A to carry out 1 or more of its functions efficiently.
26 Privacy Bill Part 3 cl 22 (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) Agency A may not assign to an individual a unique identifier that, to Agency A’s knowledge, is the same unique identifier as has been as- signed to that individual by another agency (Agency B), unless— (a) Agency A and Agency B are associated persons within the mean- ing of subpart YB of the Income Tax Act 2007; or the unique identifier is to be used by Agency A for statistical or research purposes and no other purpose.
(b) To avoid doubt, Agency A does not assign a unique identifier to an indi- vidual under subsection (1) by simply recording a unique identifier as- signed to the individual by Agency B for the sole purpose of communi- cating with Agency B about the individual.

Agency A must take all reasonable steps to ensure that a unique identifi- er is assigned only to an individual whose identity is clearly established.
Before disclosing a unique identifier to another agency, Agency A must take all reasonable steps to minimise the risk of misuse of the unique identifier by that other agency or any other person.

An agency may not require an individual to disclose any unique identifi- er assigned to that individual unless the disclosure is for one of the pur- poses in connection with which that unique identifier was assigned or is for a purpose that is directly related to one of those purposes.

 reasonable steps (which may consist of or include public notification) to ensure that the individuals who will be affected by the programme are noti- fied of the programme.
(2) Nothing in subclause (1) requires an agency to notify any individual about an authorised information matching programme if to do so would be likely to frus- trate the objective of the programme.

2 Use of unique identifiers Except as provided in any other enactment, unique identifiers may not be used as part of any authorised information matching programme unless their use is essential to the success of the programme.
3 (1) (2) Technical standards The agency primarily responsible for the operation of an authorised informa- tion matching programme must establish and maintain detailed technical stand- ards to govern the operation of the programme.
The technical standards established by an agency in accordance with sub- clause (1) must deal with the following matters: (a) the integrity of the information to be matched, with particular reference to— (i) (ii) key terms and their definition; and relevance, timeliness, and completeness: (b) the matching techniques to be used in the programme, with particular reference to— (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) the matching algorithm: any use of unique identifiers: the nature of the matters being sought to be identified by the matching process: 30 the relevant information definitions: the procedure for recognising matches: (c) the controls being used to ensure the continued integrity of the pro- gramme, including the procedures that have been established to confirm 35 the validity of matching results: 143 Schedule 7 Privacy Bill (d) the security features included within the programme to minimise and audit access to personal information, including the means by which the information is to be transferred between agencies.
(3) The technical standards established in accordance with subclause (1) must be incorporated in a written document (in this clause, a Technical Standards Re- port), and copies of the Technical Standards Report must be held by all agen- cies that are involved in the authorised information matching programme.

(4) Variations may be made to a Technical Standards Report by way of a Variation Report appended to the original report.
(5) (6) (7) 4 (1) (2) The agency that prepares a Technical Standards Report must forward a copy of that report, and of every Variation Report appended to that report, to the Com- missioner.

The Commissioner may at any time direct that a Technical Standards Report be varied, and that direction must be complied with by the agency that prepared the report.
Every agency involved in an authorised information matching programme must comply with the requirements of the associated Technical Standards Report (in- cluding any variations made to the report).

Safeguards for individuals affected by results of programmes The agencies involved in an authorised information matching programme must establish reasonable procedures for confirming the validity of discrepancies be- fore an agency seeks to rely on them as a basis for action in respect of an indi- vidual.
Subclause (1) does not apply if the agencies concerned consider that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the results are not likely to be in error, and in forming that view the agencies must have regard to the consistency in content and context of the information being matched.
(3) Where those confirmation procedures do not take the form of checking the re- sults against the source information, but instead involve direct communication with the individual affected, the agency that seeks to rely on the discrepancy as a basis for action in respect of an individual must notify the individual affected that no check has been made against the information which formed the basis for the information supplied for the programme.
Every notification in accordance with subclause (3) must include an explan- ation of the procedures that are involved in the examination of a discrepancy revealed by the programme.
Destruction of information In this clause, information matching information means— (a) information disclosed to an agency under an information matching pro- vision for use in an authorised information matching programme; and 40 (4) 5 (1) 144 Privacy Bill Schedule 7 (b) information that is produced from an authorised information matching programme.
(2) Information matching information held by an agency that does not reveal a dis- crepancy must be destroyed as soon as practicable by the agency.

(3) An agency that holds information matching information that reveals a discrep- ancy must destroy that information within 60 working days after becoming aware of the discrepancy unless the agency decides to take adverse action against any individual on the basis of that discrepancy.
(4) An agency that decides to take adverse action against any individual on the basis of a discrepancy must destroy the information as soon as practicable after the information is no longer required.

(5) 6 (1) (2) (3) This clause does not apply in relation to the Inland Revenue Department.
No new databank Subject to subclauses (2) and (3), the agencies involved in an authorised in- formation matching programme must not permit the information used in the programme to be linked or merged in such a way that a new separate perman- ent register or databank of information is created about all or any of the indi- viduals whose information has been subject to the programme.
Subclause (1) does not prevent an agency from maintaining a register of indi- viduals in respect of whom further inquiries are warranted following a discrep- ancy revealed by the programme, but information relating to an individual may be maintained on a register of that kind only for so long as is necessary to enable those inquiries to be carried out, and in no case longer than is necessary to enable any adverse action to be taken against an individual.
Subclause (1) does not prevent an agency from maintaining a register for the purpose of excluding individuals from being selected for investigation, but that register may only contain the minimum amount of information necessary for that purpose.
