IAC 17-03 Guidelines on Privacy Act Principle 7

IAC 17-03 Guidelines on Privacy Act Principle 7 is being published as a guide to enable Immigration New Zealand staff to deal comprehensively with requests from individuals for correction of their identity information under Information Privacy Principle 7 (IPP 7) of the Privacy Act 1993.

The guidelines will initially be implemented by Immigration Resolutions team in national office, and not by the Privacy teams or individual privacy officers. This will allow central monitoring of such requests and for any necessary refinements to be made to the guidelines before training is provided to privacy officers.

Note: the IAC does not apply to Quota refugees while they are still at the Mangere Centre, as there is a separate process in place for these individuals.
