Continuing application of the National Privacy Principles to information collected under these determinations
Further, I note that the privacy protection standards in NPPs 1 to 9 and 10.2 to 10.3 will continue to apply to protect the third party’s information once collected.
In particular, NPPs 1.1 and 1.2 ensure that information that is collected should be confined to that necessary to an organisation’s functions or activities and be collected only by lawful and fair means and in a way that is not unreasonably intrusive. Further, NPP 3 provides that an ‘organisation must take reasonable steps to make sure that the personal information it collects, uses or discloses is accurate, complete and up-to-date’.
Security of personal information is an important element of privacy practice. NPP 4.1 provides that an organisation ‘must take reasonable steps to protect the personal information it holds from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure’.
For all of these reasons I am satisfied that the public interest in allowing the applicant to disclose and collect the information in question, in the circumstances set out in PID 13, substantially outweighs the public interest in adhering to NPPs 2.1 and 10.1.
