Today’s policy is the National Privacy Policy, and the area within the policy that we will be focusing on is Clause 4.2 – Collection of personal information.

The National Privacy Policy is designed to ensure that Te Pukenga collects, uses, stores, and destroys personal information in accordance with New Zealand’s privacy laws.

Clause 4.2 outlines the rules around how personal information should be collected. Personal information includes anything that can be used to identify an individual, such as their name, address, phone number, or email.

To meet this clause, staff members who collect personal information should:

– Only collect information that is necessary and relevant to Te Pukenga’s activities or functions.
– Inform the individual of the purpose for which their personal information is being collected.
– Collect personal information directly from the individual concerned, where possible.
– Ensure that the individual is aware that they have the right to access and correct their personal information held by Te Pukenga.

Questions to consider:

– Can you think of a time when you collected personal information from someone at Te Pukenga? What steps did you take to ensure you followed this clause?
– If someone asks you why Te Pukenga is collecting their personal information, what would you say?
– How would you go about ensuring that the individual concerned is aware of their right to access and correct their personal information held by Te Pukenga?

Remember, it is important that we all do our part to ensure that Te Pukenga collects personal information in a way that is sensitive, respectful, and secure.
