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 2024/25 we have set  ourselves three key areas of strategic focus:

  1. Continuing to build our strengthened Compliance and Enforcement function
  2. Delivering on our regulatory stewardship responsibilities
  3. Ensuring the Privacy Act is fit-for-purpose in the digital age.
