“The Privacy Amendment Bill is making its way through Parliament, and we know organisations are starting to think about how this will impact them,” the office said. “One of the important changes in the Bill is adding Information Privacy Principle (IPP)3A,” on notification requirements for indirect collections. “We’ll be developing guidance for organisations on the requirements of IPP3A, as well as reviewing OPC’s Codes of Practice to determine whether any amendments are required."
The New Zealand office plans to “have the guidance developed and published on our website to allow organisations plenty of time to implement the requirements of the new Act,” it added.
