Each year, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner partners with the Office of the Ombudsman to mark Right to Know Day. Right to Know Day is celebrated internationally and in New Zealand on 28 September.
Right to Know Day is dedicated to raising awareness of the legal right New Zealanders have to see the information that organisations hold about them. While the Privacy Act gives people the right to have access to information about themselves, the Official Information Act gives people another kind of right - the right to access government information. Both these laws are worth celebrating as important cornerstones of transparency and democracy.
