Retention of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) data

Alex Harris made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency

The request was successful.

From: Alex Harris

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

Thanks for your response to my recent OIA request about the use of ANPR technology by NZTA. I have two followup questions:

1) The response contained information about the use of ANPR to monitor traffic speed at Newmarket viaduct in Auckland. It noted that this was expected to last until construction work in the area was complete in February 2012, and that information would be retained until then. Assuming those works are complete, has the information gathered been destroyed yet, or is it still being retained?

2) What is the proposed length of data retention for the cameras in the Homer Tunnel?

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris
