Privacy Act
Privacy Act 2020
of New Zealand's 21 requirements are already met by European Union (GDPR). Here is what Privacy Act adds, biggest gaps first.
Already covered by GDPR: Reach abroad, Lawful basis, Consent, Sensitive data, Children, Rights, Request deadline, Marketing, DPO qualifications, Registration, DPIA, Records, Retention, Tell the regulator, Tell people, Transfers abroad, Localization, Maximum fine, Criminal liability, Private action.
A gap means Privacy Act is more demanding than GDPR on that requirement, on our 0 to 3 scale (how we score). Read the cited section before acting. Not legal advice.
