Expertise in Workplace Privacy Law
Privacy and information law is something that regularly impacts on everyone. The right to privacy is one that must be balanced with other competing rights, interests and obligations.
The Privacy Act
The Privacy Act covers all personal information (information about an identifiable individual) that is collected, held or used by individuals and organisations in New Zealand. This means that the provisions of the Privacy Act impact on everyone on a regular basis. However, despite this, the provisions of the Privacy Act are often misunderstood and misapplied which leaves individuals and organisations at risk.
