Heritage New Zealand Information Gathering Standards: Transparency Statement
Overarching statement
Section 57 of the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014 grants Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga a limited range of powers for the purposes of investigating criminal offending under the same Act. This is the only way in which Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga collects, uses and shares information gathered about members of the public or other entities (directly or indirectly) for the purpose of detecting or investigating potential.
We take care to exercise our information gathering powers appropriately and meet our obligations under the Privacy Act 1993, State Sector Code of Conduct, and Information Gathering Model Standards at all times.
Any such information gathering must be approved according to our internal authorisation process. That process is regularly reviewed, together with the associated activities, to ensure compliance with the law, our internal policies, and our risk management requirements.
Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga does not, and will not, make use of external security consultants in relation to any of its activities. This statement applies to information gathered by us, our contractors, or any other third parties engaged by us.
