Annual Privacy Maturity report for New Zealand Police 2023

Date Published: 
January 2024

The Government Chief Privacy Officer (GCPO) developed the Privacy Maturity Assessment Framework (PMAF) for agencies to annually self-assess their privacy capability and maturity.

Details about the PMAF and self-assessment process can be found at https://www.digital.govt.nz/standards-and-guidance/privacy-security-and-risk/privacy/privacy-maturity-assessment-framework-pmaf-and-self-assessments/.

The report shows Police’s results in the context of other ‘Category 1’ agencies (those with large holdings of personal information and/or use personal information for multiple purposes) along with GCPO feedback on Police’s results and recommendations to further improve its privacy practices.

The PMAF assessment aligns with the Data Protection and Use Policy (DPUP), which focuses on best practices to implement people-centred privacy.
