Read the full 2024 Annual Report (opens to PDF). “Thousands of times each day New Zealanders provide their personal information in exchange for goods and services. They could be face-to-face with a small business or online with a large government department. All of these exchanges involve privacy. A society that values privacy and personal information is one where its people can have greater trust in government and businesses because they know their information will be looked after. This Annual Report is the first under theStatement of Intent 20232027, which sets my Offices purpose as ensuring that privacy is a core focus for agencies. We do this to protect the privacy of individuals, enable agencies to achieve their own objectives, and safeguard a free and democratic society.
