In April 2024, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner released our report summarising the themes and messages we heard during our Children and Young People’s Privacy project.


About the project
In September 2023 we launched the Children and Young People’s Privacy project, which looked at how children’s privacy is being protected and ultimately considered whether the rules protecting children’s privacy rights are working.

There are some unique challenges and opportunities that relate to the privacy of children and young people as they interact with health and education services and the online world. To understand these challenges, in late 2023 we consulted with government agencies, professionals who work with children (teachers, doctors, nurses, etc), and non-governmental organisations who advocate for children and young people. We asked them for their thoughts on how to improve children’s privacy in New Zealand. (From the website). Record #8637
