New Zealand: Privacy Commissioner closes consultation on draft guidance on indirect collection of personal information in the Privacy Amendment Bill (No. 292-1)

On 25 June 2025, the Privacy Commissioner closes its consultation on draft guidance on the Privacy Amendment Bill, focusing on the new Information Privacy Principle (IPP) 3A, which introduces notification requirements for the indirect collection of personal information. The draft guidance outlines how organisations should notify individuals when collecting their personal data from third-party sources. It also clarifies the circumstances under which such notification may be waived, the types of information that must be disclosed, and the timing of these obligations. Although the Bill has not yet passed, it is expected to enter into force on 1 May 2026.
