4.0 Guest Speaker from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner

A presentation was shared outlining what the privacy act is and how it affects all.

Key information 

The Privacy Act 1993 was replaced in 2020, takes into account the changes in technology, addressing the ways information is collected, how it is stored, the amount of information and how it is accessed.  

 Privacy Principles 
Collecting personal information Holding personal informationUsing and disclosing personal information
Only collect personal information you needKeep it secure Make sure it is accurate before using
Be fair about how you get it Let people see their own informationDispose of the information if it is no longer required
Get it directly from the person where possibleIf the person advises you that the information is incorrect, then correct itOnly use it for the purpose that it collected
Let them know what you are going to do with the information Only share it if you have good reasons 

An organisation must notify the Privacy Commissioner about a privacy breach. Since December 2020 there has been a significant increase in the number of privacy breaches.  The causes of the breaches are 62% human error, 25% malicious attacks, 6% theft of information, 4% other and 3% due to a system fault. 

What should organisations due to comply with the Privacy Act:

  • Appoint a privacy officer – all organisation must have one regardless of size
  • How do you keep your records secure
  • Develop good policies for handling personal information
  • Developing a privacy statement – the privacy website has a tool to assist with developing a statement, priv-o-matic
  • If a breach occurs, confirm facts & notify affected parties
