Privacy Act 2020 - the essentials

The Privacy Act 2020 is a key piece of legislation which establishes the rules for how personal information is collected, used, and disclosed. No matter your area of practice, the Privacy Act is relevant to all lawyers and applies to every organisation or company, across all sectors.

This informative and engaging webinar will:

• Unpack the information privacy principles – what they mean, when they apply, and when they have been breached
• Discuss what constitutes a notifiable privacy breach and what to do if one occurs
• Explain how Privacy Act requests should be handled, including when exceptions to the requirement to provide personal information apply
• Set out the Privacy Act complaint process and provide relevant information about compensation for complainants.

Learning objectives

By attending this webinar you will:

• Increase your knowledge of the Privacy Act 2020, including the information privacy principles and their application.
• Be better able to confidently advise your clients.

Who should attend

All lawyers across all practice areas and at all levels.

Presenter

William Fussey
Anderson Lloyd, Christchurch

William is an employment lawyer who also specialises in privacy and its application across all areas of law. He is particularly interested in the intersection between privacy and employment but advises clients on broad privacy issues. William regularly presents on employment, health & safety, and privacy law, and his interest in privacy stems from his master’s thesis on the privacy tort of intrusion into seclusion. He understands that privacy law is ubiquitous, and an essential component of daily life and all types of relationships. William advises on the full suite of employment law issues and represents clients in mediation, the Employment Relations Authority and the Employment Court.
