Can the Privacy Commissioner order an organisation to pay me money?
We cannot make the parties settle, or settle on particular terms, for example by paying money. We also cannot make an agency give a complainant particular information. We cannot force an agency to comply with the Privacy Act, nor do we make rulings or determinations.
Our opinion, though, is an important indication of whether there has been a breach of the Privacy Act. Our views are taken seriously.
