To make privacy a core focus, over the next four years we will achieve four objectives:

We will work in partnership with Māori to take a Te Ao Māori perspective on privacy.
We will engage and empower people and communities that are more vulnerable to serious privacy harm.
We will set clear expectations to provide agencies with greater certainty about their responsibilities.
We will promptly use our full range of investigation and compliance powers as necessary to hold agencies accountable for serious privacy harm.
