Safeguarding personal information benefits all of New Zealand. For our people, protecting privacy reduces the privacy harms that may result, whether they are financial, reputational or emotional. For our companies and government agencies, soundly managing personal information enables the flow of goods and services through building the trust of customers and clients. For our society, privacy is a foundation underpinning the trust in the institutions of our democracy.
For 2025/26 we have set ourselves three key areas of strategic focus:
- Provide guidance and develop processes to support the implementation of legislative and regulatory privacy initiatives.
- Engage with agencies to build their privacy capability and empower New Zealanders to assert their privacy rights.
- Focus our activities on the technological and digital innovations being adopted by organisations and businesses
