Cybersecurity Policy Report, New Zealand DPA Launches Online Privacy Toolkit, (Jul 16, 2024)

By Tony Foley

New Zealand’s Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) yesterday said it had launched an online privacy toolkit to help businesses and organizations “do privacy well.”

The toolkit, called PouPou Matatapou, is designed to help with privacy management, but OPC adds that it should help controllers improve their data quality, innovation, customer and stakeholder trust, and decision-making processes. It shows scenarios to help people understand how privacy works in practice.

“A strong privacy culture is increasingly a competitive advantage,” Privacy Commissioner Michael Webster said in a news release. "But we know that while businesses and organisations need to be good at privacy, that’s sometimes a struggle. We wanted to make good privacy easier for New Zealand businesses to achieve, so their customers can reap the rewards of excellent privacy practices."
