Office of the Privacy Commissioner | Privacy Week 2018
This was another important year for privacy in New Zealand. Our 25-year-old Privacy Act is set to be reformed and new privacy legislation put in its place. What is likely to change with the new Privacy Act? What do organisations and businesses need to know? What does mandatory data breach notification mean? These were some of the main talking points at the Office of the Privacy Commissioner's 2018 Privacy Forum at Te Papa in Wellington on Wednesday 9 May 2018.
Other topics for discussion were the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which takes effect in May, and also how algorithms affect our daily lives.
We had leading experts on privacy and data protection at the 2018 Privacy Forum. The Forum was opened by the Minister of Justice, Andrew Little, and ended with the launch of the Privacy Commissioner's Privacy Trust Mark.
