Dear Mr. [User 34237 name redacted],

 

Thank you for your Official Information Request made on Sunday 28^th
February through the FYI.org.nz website. The request has been passed to me
for assessment in my role as Privacy Officer, as you are requesting
information relating to an individual, which makes this a Privacy Request.

 

 

 

In this case, Principle 11 of the Privacy Act 2020 applies as you are
requesting information regarding an individual other than yourself. I
regret that the information requested cannot therefore be released and on
this basis your Official Information (OI) Request is refused.

 

If you are unhappy with my decision then there are resources available to
you. You can contact the Information Ombudsman via their website at:

[1]What the Ombudsman can help with | Ombudsman New Zealand

 

As this OI Request concerns an individual and has been treated as a
Privacy Request, you can get more information from the Office of the
Privacy Commissioner here:

And more specifically on Principle 11 of the Privacy At 2020 here:

[3]Office of the Privacy Commissioner | Principle 11 – Disclosure of
personal information

 

 

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Simon Lewis

Acting Privacy Officer
