Document background
A Privacy Information Notice is a crucial compliance document required under New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020. Organizations must provide this notice to individuals when collecting personal information to ensure transparency and compliance with privacy principles. The notice should be provided at or before the time of data collection, or as soon as practicable thereafter. It must detail what personal information is being collected, how it will be used and stored, who it will be shared with, and how individuals can access and correct their information. The document needs regular review and updates to reflect any changes in data handling practices or regulatory requirements. For organizations operating internationally, the Privacy Information Notice may need to address additional requirements from other jurisdictions while maintaining compliance with New Zealand law.
