New Zealand has several key frameworks and principles to ensure data compliance and management:

  1. Privacy Act 2020: This act provides rules for protecting personal information and places responsibilities on agencies and organizations regarding handling personal data. It includes 13 Information Privacy Principles that must be followed.
  2. New Zealand Data and Information Management Principles: These principles ensure high-quality government-held data and information management. They emphasize that data should be open, protected, readily available, trusted, authoritative, well-managed, and reasonably priced.
  3. Open Data Policies: These policies support open government and the release of open data. They include the Declaration on Open and Transparent Government and the International Open Data Charter, which New Zealand signed in 2017.

These frameworks and principles collectively ensure that data is managed responsibly, transparently, and ethically in New Zealand.
