Te wiki o te reo Māori is taking place this year between Monday 4 July and Sunday 10 July and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner has created a series of privacy phrases and themes in te Reo. Check them out!

And if you wonder what the name for our office means in te Reo, Te Mana Matapono Matatapu literally translates as the authority that deals with the principles of confidentiality.

1. Take control: Privacy gives you control of your personal information.

2. Check the facts: Ask for your personal information to make sure it's accurate and up-to-date.

3. Show me the statement: Ask to see the privacy statement.

4. Put it right: Tell the agency when things go wrong.

5. Share with care: Think twice before you send that email or text.
