Privacy Law

The Privacy Act controls how ‘agencies’ collect, use, disclose, store and give access to ‘personal information’.Almost every person or organisation that holds personal information is an ‘agency’, for example government departments, companies of all sizes, religious groups, schools and clubs.

We can offer guidance on following the Privacy Act, the Official Information Actand other legislation and common law rules governing the collection, use and disclosure of official personal and confidential information.

We can assist you if you have concerns about whether The Privacy Act has been adhered to with regard to your personal information.
