The Office of the Privacy Commissioner marks Privacy Week each year to promote privacy awareness and to inform people of their rights under the Privacy Act. It is also to help educate businesses, organisations and agencies of their responsibilities and obligations with personal information.
For Privacy Week, our office will be joining with the Asia Pacific Privacy Authorities network in marking the theme Privacy: From principles to practice.
Privacy Week in New Zealand was from 7-11 May 2018.
The highlight of Privacy Week was the 2018 Privacy Forum at Te Papa in Wellington on Wednesday 9 May. The 2018 Privacy Forum was a day of privacy-related discussion with many of the leading privacy exponents in New Zealand. Find out more about the 2018 Privacy Forum here. A finalised programme is available here.
If you missed out on attending, we are planning on making video of each session available on our YouTube channel after the Forum is over.
Our office promoted a number of activities and resources during Privacy Week. These included:
