The privacy officer your Privacy Act 2020 obligations require
Under New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020, every agency must appoint at least one privacy officer. Here is what the role covers, and how MyAndGo supports it.
A privacy officer is the person responsible for making sure your organisation meets the Privacy Act 2020. The Act requires every agency to appoint at least one, and their role is the point of contact for people asking about their personal information.
The role is more than a title. A privacy officer encourages the organisation to comply with the Information Privacy Principles, deals with requests to access and correct personal information, works with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner on any enquiry, and is the point of contact if something goes wrong.
What a privacy officer needs to do the job
A clear view of the information
Know what personal information the organisation holds and where it sits. In MyAndGo your records are in one platform rather than scattered across tools.
Controls that hold
Access controls and two-factor sign-in, so only the right people reach personal information.
Records to act on requests
Access, export and correction inside the workspace, so an access or correction request can be answered without a hunt.
How MyAndGo supports your privacy officer
- One platform for records, so the privacy officer is not chasing information across a dozen separate tools.
- Access and correction built in, so a person's request can be met from the workspace.
- Content for a New Zealand workspace is stored in Australia, with sign-in and payments in the United States and the other services that run overseas named plainly.
- Deletion flows that remove records on a defined schedule.
