Privacy Bill Government Bill As reported from the Justice Committee Commentary Recommendation The Justice Committee has examined the Privacy Bill and recommends that it be passed with the amendments shown.

Introduction The Privacy Bill seeks to repeal and replace the Privacy Act 1993.

According to clause 3, the purpose of the bill is to promote and protect individual privacy.
Information privacy principles The bill would keep the principles-based framework of the Act, while updating the law to reflect the needs of the digital age.

Clause 19 seeks to reproduce (with changes) the 12 information privacy principles (IPPs) in the Act.
Here are some key changes sought by the bill: Mandatory reporting of privacy breaches Part 6, subpart 1, would require agencies1 to inform the Privacy Commissioner and affected individuals when a privacy breach causes harm or poses a risk of harm to people.

Not notifying the Commissioner would be an offence.

1 The definition of “agency” in clause 6 is wide and includes both public and private organisa- tions.
34—2 2 Privacy Bill Commentary Compliance notices Part 6, subpart 2, would allow the Commissioner to issue a compliance notice to make an agency do something, or stop doing something, to comply with privacy law.

Compliance notices could be enforced by the Human Rights Review Tribunal.
More protection for data moving overseas Under clause 19, IPP 11(3), agencies would only be able to disclose personal infor- mation to an overseas person if the individual concerned authorised the disclosure, the overseas person was in a prescribed country, or the agency believed on reasonable grounds that the overseas person was required to protect the information in a way that, overall, provides comparable safeguards to those in the bill.
Commissioner’s decisions on access requests would be binding Part 5 of the bill would enable the Commissioner, rather than the Human Rights Review Tribunal, to make directions on complaints about access to information.

An appeal against a direction could be made to the Tribunal.
New offences and penalties The bill would create new criminal offences, including: • • misleading an agency to obtain access to someone else’s personal information (clause 212(2)(c)) destroying a document containing personal information, knowing that a request has been made for it (clause 212(2)(d)).

Currently, penalties for offences under the Act are fines of up to $2,000.

Fines for offences under the bill would be up to $10,000.
Our proposed amendments This commentary covers the main amendments we recommend to the bill.

We do not discuss minor or technical amendments.

Overseas agencies The bill should say whether and when it would apply to agencies that are outside New Zealand.

We recommend inserting clause 3A to make this clear and to set out who the bill would apply to.

Under our proposed clause 3A(1)(a), the bill would apply to any actions by a New Zealand agency, whether inside or outside New Zealand.
It would apply to all per- sonal information collected or held by New Zealand agencies, regardless of where the information was collected or held and where the person to whom the information relates is located.
A New Zealand agency is defined in our proposed clause 3A(4) as a public sector agency, a private sector agency established under New Zealand law or having its central management and control in New Zealand, an individual who is ordinarily resident in New Zealand, or a court or tribunal (except in relation to its judicial functions).

Commentary Privacy Bill 3 To make clear what is meant by “ordinarily resident in New Zealand”, we recommend providing a definition of the phrase in clause 6(2).
Under our proposed clause 3A(1)(b), the bill would apply to any actions taken by an overseas agency in the course of carrying on business in New Zealand.

It would apply to all personal information collected or held by an overseas agency in the course of carrying on business in New Zealand.

It would apply regardless of where the informa- tion was collected or held and where the person to whom the information relates is located.
Clause 3A(3) provides that an agency would be treated as carrying on business in New Zealand whether or not it has a physical place of business here, charges any monetary payment for goods or services, or makes a profit from its business here.

Under our proposed clause 3A(1)(c), the bill would also apply to an individual who does not ordinarily reside in New Zealand, but who is present.
It would apply in rela- tion to any action taken by the individual and all personal information collected by them while they were in New Zealand, regardless of where the information was held and where the person to whom the information relates is located.

Under our proposed clause 3A(2), the bill would also apply, for the purposes of sub- part 3 of Part 7 (which is about accessing law enforcement information), to courts and tribunals in relation to their judicial functions.
Also, the offence provisions in clause 212 would apply to all people, including those outside New Zealand, if any act or omission forming part of the offence, or any event necessary to the completion of the offence, occurred in New Zealand.

News media exemptions The definition of “agency” in clause 6 excludes news media carrying out news activ- ities.

This means that the bill would not apply to the news media.
The purpose of excluding the media is to enable them to perform their role of supporting the free flow of information to the public.

We recommend several changes to the provisions about media.

Books and blogs The definition of “news activity” in clause 6 refers to the gathering of news, and the preparation, compiling, or dissemination of “articles or programmes”.

It does not refer to journalistic works that are neither articles nor programmes, such as books and blogs.
To recognise the importance of media independence in a free and democratic society, we consider that people producing news in these formats should also be excluded from the bill.

We recommend widening the definition of “news activity” in clause 6 to refer to “publishing” news, observations on news, and current affairs, and including a definition of “publish” to make clear that it includes publishing on the Internet.
4 Privacy Bill Commentary Definition of news entity We consider it appropriate to exempt only media entities that are subject to independ- ent standards of conduct, including privacy standards, and a complaints procedure.

Examples of organisations that set independent standards are the Broadcasting Stand- ards Authority and the New Zealand Media Council.
We recommend providing for this in our new definition of “news entity”: an entity whose business consists of a news activity and that is subject to either of the two regulatory bodies mentioned above or any other similar body prescribed in regulation.

Criteria for prescribing such bodies are set out in proposed subclause (2) of clause 213.

They include a require- ment for the Minister to consult with the Privacy Commissioner before recommend- ing that a body be prescribed.
RNZ and TVNZ In the bill as introduced, Radio New Zealand Limited (RNZ) and Television New Zealand Limited (TVNZ) are treated differently from other news media.

Unlike other news media, IPP 6 (access to personal information) and IPP 7 (correction of personal information) would apply to them in respect of their news activities.

The rationale for this is that, as Crown entities, they should be subject to stronger requirements for transparency than other media organisations.
Under clause 57, they would have grounds to refuse access requests under IPP 6 to protect confidential journalistic sour- ces.

These provisions are based on those in the Privacy Act.

RNZ and TVNZ believe that they are disadvantaged because, when they conduct a news investigation, the subject of the investigation can request information about themselves, which can hinder the investigation.

We believe that RNZ and TVNZ should be brought within the media exemption.
It is a matter of principle that they should be able to operate on the same footing as other news media when undertaking news activities.

We recommend aligning the treatment of RNZ and TVNZ with other news media so that they have the full benefit of the media exemption.

Information that is stored or processed by one agency on behalf of another Under clause 8, an agency would remain accountable for information held by another agency as its agent.
This includes “cloud” providers and information sent overseas for storage or processing on behalf of an agency.

However, we believe a storing or processing agency that used or disclosed the infor- mation for its own purposes should also be accountable to the affected individual.

We therefore recommend amending clause 8 to provide that, in such circumstances, both agencies would be treated as holding the information.
Commentary Privacy Bill 5 Cloud services should not be covered by the principles relating to overseas disclosure We consider that the obligations in clause 19 of the bill as introduced, IPP 11(3) to (6) (which, for reasons to be discussed later, we recommend renaming to IPP 12), should not apply to an agency transferring information to a cloud storage provider or other overseas processor.
Under clause 8, the transferring agency would be treated as still holding the informa- tion and would be liable for any privacy breaches by the cloud service provider.

Therefore, the transfer of data between the agency and the cloud service provider would not be a disclosure for the purposes of the IPPs.

For the avoidance of doubt, we recommend making this clear by inserting subclause (5) into clause 8.
Amendments to the information privacy principles Agencies not to collect information unless it is required Clause 19, IPP 1 would allow agencies to collect information only where it is neces- sary for a lawful purpose connected with the function of the agency, and collecting the information is necessary for that purpose.

We wish to discourage agencies collecting personal identifiers by default without con- sidering whether it is necessary to do so.
We recommend inserting new subclause (2) into clause 19, IPP 1, to emphasise that agencies may not require individuals’ identi- fying information unless it is necessary for the lawful purpose for which the informa- tion is collected.

Collecting information from children and young people IPP 4 sets out how personal information should be collected.
It is different from IPP 4 in the Act because it would require agencies to particularly have regard to an individ- ual’s age when deciding how to collect information.

The change seeks to protect young people, who may be more willing than adults to disclose their information online, and who may not be aware why an agency wants their information.

We consider that the vulnerability of children and young people should be emphas- ised in a stand-alone provision.
We recommend moving the requirement in IPP 4 for agencies to have regard to the age of the individual into a new subclause (2).

New subclause (2) would require agencies to take into account the vulnerability of children and young people when collecting personal information from them.

Correcting information about yourself IPP 7 gives individuals the right to correct an agency’s information about them.
The bill structures this principle a little differently than the Privacy Act: the bill moves some procedural aspects of the IPP to clauses 69 and 70.

For clarity, we recommend restructuring IPP 7 to move some of these provisions back into IPP 7.

6 Privacy Bill Commentary Limits on disclosure Under IPP 11 as introduced, personal information must not be disclosed except in cer- tain circumstances.

IPP 11(3) to (6) deals with the disclosure of information to over- seas agencies.
For clarity, and to make the provisions easier to find, we recommend that they be moved to a separate IPP, new IPP 12.

Consequentially, this would mean renumbering IPP 12 in the bill as introduced as new IPP 13.

Disclosing information to an agency overseas Our proposed IPP 12 (which is based on IPP 11(3) to (6) in the bill as introduced) sets out the principles for disclosure of personal information outside New Zealand.
In most cases, an agency that wants to disclose personal information to a foreign per- son or entity would need to satisfy at least one of the criteria set out in our proposed IPP 12(1): • • • • • • the individual concerned authorises the disclosure, after being expressly informed by the agency that the foreign person or entity may not be required to protect the information in a way that, overall, provides comparable safeguards to those in the bill the foreign person or entity is carrying on business in New Zealand, and the agency believes, on reasonable grounds, that the foreign person or entity is sub- ject to the bill the agency believes on reasonable grounds that the foreign person or entity is subject to privacy laws that, overall, provide comparable safeguards to those in the bill the agency believes on reasonable grounds that the foreign person or entity is a participant in a prescribed binding scheme the agency believes on reasonable grounds that the foreign person or entity is subject to privacy laws of a prescribed country the agency otherwise believes on reasonable grounds that the foreign person or entity must protect the information in a way that, overall, provides comparable safeguards to those in the bill.
We recommend including the fourth criterion because we believe new IPP 12 should also allow for possible future participation by New Zealand in binding cross-border privacy schemes.

An example of such a binding scheme is the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Cross-Border Privacy Rules system.

Six out of the 21 APEC economies participate in the system.

We recommend inserting a definition of “country” into clause 6 which includes a state, territory, province, or any other part of a country.
Criteria for prescribing binding schemes and countries We recommend inserting new clauses 212A and 212B to provide for the making of regulations prescribing countries and binding schemes for the purposes of IPP 12, and to set out the criteria that the Minister must consider before recommending that such Commentary Privacy Bill 7 regulations be made.
The Minister would be able to recommend that countries or binding schemes be prescribed if satisfied that personal information would be subject to privacy safeguards that are, overall, comparable to those in the bill.

Clarify the principles about unique identifiers Our proposed IPP 13 (IPP 12 in the bill as introduced) sets out agencies’ obligations regarding the use of unique identifiers such as customer numbers.
Subclause (5) of proposed IPP 13 would require an agency to take all reasonable steps to minimise the risk of misuse of a unique identifier before disclosing it to another agency.

It seeks to reduce identity theft by helping to control the publication of unique identifiers.

We recommend broadening this provision to require agencies to take reasonable steps to guard against identity theft at all times, not just when disclosing a unique identifier to another agency.
For example, an agency should take any reason- able steps to minimise the risk of misuse when displaying unique identifiers on com- puter screens or on receipts.

We recommend including, as an example of good practice, the use of truncated account numbers in receipts or correspondence.

Commissioner’s functions should include support on cross-border issues The Commissioner should have a role in the operation of new IPP 12.
He or she could assist with assessing whether other jurisdictions have comparable safeguards to those in the bill and provide guidance for agencies.

He or she could also have a role if New Zealand were to join a prescribed binding scheme.

We recommend inserting paragraph (ca) into clause 14(1) to include this role as a function of the Commissioner.
Information about domestic or personal affairs Clause 24 seeks to exempt information collected for the purposes of, or in connection with, an individual’s personal or domestic affairs.

However, under clause 24(3)(a), information collected by misleading or deceptive conduct would not be exempt.

We do not consider that clause 24(3)(a) is necessary.

Clause 212(2) already contains offences relating to impersonation and misleading or deceptive conduct.
Also, under clause 24(3)(a), misleading conduct without any malicious intent could lead to unnecessary complaints to the Commissioner.

We recommend removing paragraph (a) from clause 24(3).

Public register privacy principles should be removed A public register is a register, roll, list, or other document that is required by law to be publicly available for inspection.

Part 3, subpart 2 of the bill would carry over the Act’s public register privacy principles.
8 Privacy Bill Commentary We believe that the public register privacy principles are outdated and that legislation establishing public registers is able to provide more relevant safeguards around access to information and the circumstances under which information may be withheld.

Also, the Law Commission and the Privacy Commissioner have recommended that the public register privacy principles be repealed.

We recommend removing Part 3, subpart 2, and related provisions including Schedule 2.
Accessing and correcting personal information Part 4, subpart 1 (clauses 44 to 63) sets out the process for making and responding to requests made under IPP 6.

Part 4, subpart 2 (clauses 64 to 71) sets out the process for responding to requests under IPP 7.

Improving the bill’s structure As introduced, the bill separates the processes for confirming that an agency holds personal information, and for accessing the information.
In practice, we understand that people want access to their information, regardless of how their request is wor- ded.

We recommend referring to both types of request under IPP 6 as “IPP 6 requests”.

We also recommend combining clauses 49 and 50 into new clause 50, and inserting new clauses 50A, 50B, and 50C to support our new clause 50.

Grounds for denying access to information Clause 52 sets out some of the grounds on which an agency could refuse access to information.
An agency could refuse access under clause 52(1)(a)(i) if the disclosure would be likely to endanger the safety of an individual.

We consider that these grounds should be expanded to include a serious threat to pub- lic health or safety, or to the life or health of any individual.

We recommend amend- ing clause 52(1)(a)(i) accordingly.

Information requested under duress Under clause 57(h), an agency would not have to give out information if it believed it had been requested under duress.
We recommend moving paragraph (h) from clause 57 to clause 63, which sets out the precautionary measures that an agency should take before allowing access to the information.

We also recommend removing the agen- cy’s discretion, so it would be prohibited from giving out the information.

Under our proposed clause 63(ab), if the agency had reasonable grounds to believe that the request was made under duress, it would have to refuse access to the information.
Making documents available electronically Clause 62 sets out how personal information should be provided.

We recommend amending clause 62(1)(b) to make it clear that information could be provided elec- tronically.

Commentary Privacy Bill 9 Charging for providing and correcting information In clause 73(2)(a) as introduced, the Commissioner could authorise a public sector agency to charge requestors who live overseas and who are not New Zealand citizens or permanent residents.
We propose some drafting changes to clauses 72 and 73 and, in doing so, we recommend discarding this provision.

Who can make a complaint?

Part 5, subpart 1 (clauses 76 to 84) deals with complaints.

It is not clear that organisa- tions such as advocacy groups could bring a complaint on behalf of two or more aggrieved individuals.

We recommend defining “representative” in clause 74 to make this clear.

We consider that the mechanism for deferring complaints is unnecessary.
We recom- mend removing clauses 79(1)(b) and 81.

Clause 80 sets out certain grounds on which the Commissioner could decide not to investigate a complaint.

We recommend allowing the Commissioner a general discre- tion to not investigate a complaint.

We recommend inserting new subclause (2) into clause 80 to enable the Commissioner to decide not to investigate a complaint if he or she considers an investigation unnecessary, having regard to all the circumstances of the case.
Human Rights Review Tribunal hearings Part 5, subpart 3 (clauses 102 to 116) provides for proceedings before the Human Rights Review Tribunal.

Closed hearings at Human Rights Review Tribunal We recommend inserting new clause 114A to provide the Tribunal with an express power to close proceedings when necessary to hear and determine an access com- plaint.

We were advised that this recommendation is consistent with section 27 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990, which is about the right to justice.
Although closing proceedings could restrict the right to natural justice, doing so would be demonstrably justified in certain circumstances, for example, when disclosure of a document could endanger someone’s safety.

Nevertheless, we recommend providing, in new subclause (3), that the Tribunal may only close proceedings when necessary to avoid compromising the matters that the agency considers justify refusing access to the information.
Administrative and interim decisions The bill would allow certain decisions to be made by the Chair of the Tribunal alone, without convening the three-person tribunal; an example is an interim order under clauses 112 and 132.

We recommend providing for other situations when the Chair could make decisions alone.
We recommend amendments to allow the Chair alone to determine the enforcement of access directions (clause 109), the accepting of appeals lodged within 3 months after the appeal period (clause 111), leave to apply to the 10 Privacy Bill Commentary High Court to vary or rescind an interim order suspending an access direction (clause 112), and the enforcement of compliance notices (clause 130).

We recommend removing clause 113 because it is unnecessary.
The Human Rights Act 1993 (as amended by the Tribunal Powers and Procedures Legislation Act 2018) would be applied under clause 116 of the bill.

This already allows for the determin- ation of certain matters “on the papers” (that is, without oral submissions).

Notifying the Commissioner about privacy breaches We propose various changes to Part 6, subpart 1, which is about notifying the Com- missioner and affected individuals when there have been privacy breaches.
Breaches should only be notifiable if they cause serious harm Clause 118 would require agencies to notify the Commissioner as soon as practicable after becoming aware of a notifiable privacy breach.

Clause 119 would require agen- cies to also notify the affected person.

Under clause 117, a notifiable privacy breach means a breach that has harmed, or poses a risk of harm to, an individual.

We consider that the threshold for “harm” is too low.
It could result in over-notifica- tion to the Privacy Commissioner and to individuals.

It is also appropriate to provide more certainty to agencies and to better align the bill with overseas jurisdictions which have a higher threshold for when privacy breaches should be notified.

In clause 117, we recommend replacing the definition of “notifiable privacy breach”.

Paragraph (a) of our proposed definition describes a breach that it is reasonable to believe has caused serious harm or is likely to do so.
In deciding whether a breach could cause serious harm, agencies should consider certain factors.

They include the actions they have taken to reduce harm, the sensitivity of the information, the nature of the harm, those to whom the information might be disclosed, and whether the information is protected by security measures.

We recommend inserting new clause 117A to set out these factors, and referring to them in new paragraph (a) of the defin- ition of “notifiable privacy breach”.
Domestic or personally-held information should be exempt Individuals should not have to notify privacy breaches where the information is held solely for the purposes of, or in connection with, their household or personal affairs.

We recommend clarifying this in new paragraph (b) of the definition of “notifiable privacy breach” in clause 117.
Notification should sometimes be delayed Under clause 119, agencies would have to tell affected individuals about a notifiable privacy breach as soon as practicable after becoming aware of the breach.

If telling individuals is not practicable, the agency would give public notice of the breach instead.

In certain circumstances, it may be sensible to delay notifying individuals about a breach.
For example, if an agency’s security systems were revealed to be vulnerable Commentary Privacy Bill 11 as a result of a privacy breach, notification could risk wider exploitation of the vulner- ability, and should be delayed to prevent the risk of more harm.

However, protecting the agency’s reputation would not be a good reason to delay telling people about a breach.
We recommend inserting new subclause (3A) into clause 120 to allow individual noti- fication or public notice to be delayed in cases where the information security risks of notification outweigh the benefits of informing affected individuals.

The Commis- sioner would still be informed as soon as is practicable after the agency becomes aware of the breach.

When should agencies not have to notify?


Clause 120 sets out exceptions to the requirement to notify affected individuals or give public notice of a notifiable privacy breach.

We consider it appropriate for these exceptions to be based on the agency’s belief on reasonable grounds that the relevant circumstances exist.

This would be consistent with the IPPs.

We recommend amend- ing clause 120 to reflect this.
Agency could be identified by name or description Under clause 121(1)(e), notifications to the Commissioner would have to name the agencies that have been contacted about the privacy breach and the reason for having contacted them.

This requirement is too broad.

Its purpose is to inform the Commis- sioner’s compliance activities and communications between the Commissioner and affected individuals.
We recommend amending clause 121(1)(e) to make it clear that the agencies contacted could be either named or described.

Offence to fail to notify Commissioner Clause 122 would create an offence of failing to notify the Commissioner of a notifia- ble privacy breach.

The bill does not make it clear that it would be a defence to a charge of failing to notify the Commissioner that it was reasonable for the agency to have considered that the breach was not a notifiable breach.
We recommend setting out this defence in new subclause (3).

It is also our view that individual employees should not be liable if their employer fails to notify a privacy breach.

We recommend inserting subclause (4) into clause 122 to make this clear.

Telling affected individuals who has received their information Under clause 121(2)(a) and (3), notifications to affected individuals could not include any particulars about those who may have received their personal information.
This is to accommodate the privacy interests of people who received the information.

How- ever, in some circumstances—for example, where there is a risk of family violence— telling the affected individual the recipient’s identity could help to mitigate potential harm.

We recommend inserting clause 121(2A) to allow the recipient’s identity to be revealed to the affected individual if the agency believed on reasonable grounds there was a serious threat to somebody’s life or health.
12 Privacy Bill Commentary Who should tell individuals about a breach?

Agencies that outsource their data storage or processing to another agency should be responsible for informing individuals of any notifiable breach, no matter which agency caused the breach.

This is because they have the relationship with the indi- vidual, and individuals should not be disadvantaged by an agency’s decision to use a data service provider.
It is appropriate for an outsourcing agency to have an agreement with its service pro- vider about the handling of information.

The agreement should set out when the ser- vice provider will notify the principal agency about a privacy breach.

We recommend inserting new clause 122A to encourage such terms in agreements between agencies.
The new clause sets out that, if a service provider or agency knows about a privacy breach, then, for the purposes of civil (not criminal) liability, the outsourcing or prin- cipal agency is also treated as knowing about it.

Allow Commissioner to publicise compliance notices Under Part 6, subpart 2, the Commissioner could issue compliance notices to make an agency do something, or stop doing something, to comply with privacy law.
It is our view that the Commissioner should publish the fact that he or she has issued such a notice as well as the identity of the agency to which the notice was issued, other details about the notice or breach, and a statement or comment about the breach.

We recommend inserting new clause 129A to provide for this.

Under our new clause 129A(2), such information would not be published if it would cause the agency undue harm that outweighed the public interest.
Appointment of privacy officers Clause 201 would require every agency to appoint a privacy officer.

We recommend making it clear that privacy officers could be appointed externally to the agency.

We also note that individuals should not should have to appoint a privacy officer in con- nection with their personal or domestic affairs, and we recommend making this clear in clause 201, new subclause (2).
Information matching programmes Subpart 4 of Part 7 relates to information matching programmes that are authorised by an information matching provision.

Clause 177 defines an information matching programme as the comparison of documents containing personal information for the purpose of producing or verifying information that could be used to take adverse action against an individual.

Adverse actions include cancelling payments, imposing fines, or investigating offences.
The bill would enable existing information matching programmes to continue.

Sched- ule 6 carries over the relevant information matching provisions and Schedule 8 would amend relevant provisions to allow existing programmes to continue but no new pro- grammes to be entered into.
Commentary Privacy Bill 13 We recommend updating Schedule 8 to amend the various information matching pro- visions so that only existing information matching programmes may continue, and to clarify that any new sharing may be undertaken under an approved information shar- ing agreement (AISA).

However, two information matching provisions, sections 226A and 235F of the Education Act 1989, would allow new information matching programmes.

AISAs are another information sharing mechanism.


AISAs were introduced to the Privacy Act in 2013 and allow agencies to share personal information to facilitate the provision of public services.

AISAs must be approved by Order in Council.

New Zealand National Party view The National Party supports updating the Privacy Act and modernising it for the digi- tal age.

We support the bill as amended.

However, we hold residual concerns over two areas.


First, the threshold for agencies to notify the Commissioner as soon as practic- able after becoming aware of a notifiable privacy breach.

The amended bill would raise the threshold for agencies to report, but we consider there is a still a risk of over- notification.

If this occurs it would trivialise genuine privacy breaches and also raise compliance costs.
Second, we are aware that the Privacy Commissioner recommended quite substantial changes to the bill that went well beyond the scope of the bill as introduced.

For example, a “right to erasure”, also known as the “right to be forgotten”.

We are pleased the amended bill does not pick up this suggestion and are deeply sceptical that such a measure is required in New Zealand.

We are uneasy that the Commis- sioner recommended that the select committee make these substantial changes to the bill.
A better approach would be for the Government to consult widely in advance of preparing a bill and then submitting it to the House for consideration.

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 infor- mation 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).

(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 assigned to the individual by Agency B for the sole purpose of commu- nicating with Agency B about the individual.

Agency A must take all reasonable steps to ensure that a unique identi- fier is assigned only to an individual whose identity is clearly estab- lished.
A must take any steps that are, in the circumstances, reasonable to ensure that— (a) a unique identifier is assigned only to an individual whose iden- tity is clearly established; and the risk of misuse of a unique identifier by any person is mini- mised (for example, by showing truncated account numbers on receipts or in correspondence).
(b) 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 identi- fier assigned to that individual unless the disclosure is for one of the purposes in connection with which that unique identifier was assigned or is for a purpose that is directly related to one of those purposes.

(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: 167 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 Report), and copies of the Technical Standards Report must be held by all agencies 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 (including 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 before an agency seeks to rely on them as a basis for action in respect of an individual.
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 results against the source information, but instead involve direct communica- tion with the individual affected, the agency that seeks to rely on the discrep- ancy 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— (4) 5 (1) 168 Privacy Bill Schedule 7 (a) (b) information that is disclosed to an agency under an information match- ing provision for use in an authorised information matching programme; and information that is produced from an authorised information matching programme.
5 (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.
10 (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.
15 No new databank Subject to subclauses (2) and (3), the agencies involved in an authorised information 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 only the minimum amount of information necessary for that purpose.
