18BD  Varying an approved privacy code

 (1) An organisation may apply in writing to the Commissioner for approval of a variation of an approved privacy code by giving the Commissioner a copy of the code that incorporates the variations.

 (2) The Commissioner may approve in writing the variation.

 (3) In deciding whether to approve the variation, the Commissioner must consider all of the matters that the Commissioner would consider in deciding whether to approve under section 18BB a privacy code identical to the approved privacy code with the variation.

 (4) However, if the Commissioner thinks that a variation is minor, he or she need not be satisfied that members of the public have been given an adequate opportunity to comment on a draft variation of the code (as would otherwise be required by paragraph 18BB(2)(f)). Instead, the Commissioner may consult any person he or she thinks appropriate about the draft variation.

 (5) The approval of the variation takes effect on the day specified in the approval.

 (6) The day specified must not be before the day on which the approval is given.
