Privacy Act
Principal Investigators should make themselves familiar with the requirements of the Privacy Act 1993 and the Health Information Privacy Code 1994. Refer to the Interim Website of New Zealand Legislation.
The Privacy Act sets out 12 Principles that govern the collection, use, storage, retention and disclosure of personal information. The Privacy Act also permits the Privacy Commissioner to issue codes of practice governing particular types of personal information. In 1994 the Commissioner issued the Health Information Privacy Code. This Code contains 12 Health Information Privacy Rules. The Rules are very similar to the 12 Principles in the Privacy Act, but are modified specifically for the health sector.
