We’ve received a complaint but didn’t know we should have a Privacy Officer – what do we do?

Nominate someone to be your privacy officer to deal with the complaint. They should try and resolve it in-house first. They can do this by:

  • talking to the complainant
  • investigating as appropriate
  • determining what action needs to be taken
  • keeping the complainant informed about what is happening during this process.

We can provide information about the Privacy Act, if you need it. Call our freephone number: 0800 803 909 or email enquiries@privacy.org.nz
