Most importantly, alternative safeguards and protections exist for when information is shared. These include the Statistics New Zealand and Privacy Commissioner's principles for safe and effective use of data and analytics, as well as the Social Wellbeing Agency's data protection and use policy. These initiatives are less administratively burdensome and allow for safe sharing of information while still ensuring that protections are in place when information is shared. These changes mean that section 66D is no longer needed.
