New policy for amending personal information?
Anna Longdill made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment
The request was partially successful.
From: Anna Longdill
Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,
In 2015, the Privacy Commissioner referred a case to the Director of Human Rights Proceedings ([2015] NZ PrivCmr 8) relating to Immigration New Zealand refusing to correct personal information under Principle 7(2) Privacy Act 1993.
On 1 July 2016, the Human Rights Commission issued a press release advising the case had settled and Immigration New Zealand was working on a policy for dealing with requests to amend personal information.
a) Has that new policy been finalised yet?
b) Please supply the current policy applied by Immigration New Zealand staff in assessing applications to correct information held by INZ.
Thank you
Yours faithfully,
Anna Longdill
