Workshop

Privacy Officer Toolkit Workshop

Being a Privacy Officer is an important job, especially these days. Privacy is a hot consumer topic – if you get privacy wrong, it can take a long time and a lot of work to try and regain the trust (and business) of your customers.

The Privacy Act 2020 introduced mandatory reporting for serious privacy breaches, new obligations around transferring personal information to other countries, and gives the Privacy Commissioner increased compliance and enforcement powers.

Globally, the trend is towards even greater consumer privacy rights, with privacy laws in other countries impacting many NZ businesses. On top of all of this, technology is constantly introducing new privacy challenges for Privacy Officers to manage (hello AI!).

Presented in an interactive, workshop setting, this workshop will provide new Privacy Officers with useful and practical advice to assist them with common Privacy Officer responsibilities such as developing a privacy programme, staff training, access requests, privacy impact assessments, and privacy breach response.  You’ll come away with some handy tips and tools to apply to your organisation, and have the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with other Privacy Officers.

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?

The workshop is an introductory course, aimed at new Privacy Officers.

WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT IT?

Information was relevant and content about right for all levels of understanding in the room. Particularly liked the no fuss presentation and the pace.

Relaxed style, small diverse group enabling questions.

Very friendly and at a great level – specific without being overwhelming.

Although it was an online training session it was very interactive. Everyone seemed to be willing to share their views.
