The Privacy Commissioner's submission focuses on clause 69 of the Courts and Criminal Matters Bill, which amends the Summary Proceedings Act 1957 to authorise:

  • the release of penalty information to credit reporters for inclusion in credit reports; and
  • the Ministry of Justice to use the information provided by credit reporters when collecting fines.


Clause 69 would create significant privacy impacts for the people of New Zealand through these new disclosures and uses of their personal information.
