150: Consultation on proposed information sharing agreement

You could also call this:

"Talking to others before sharing your personal information"

Illustration for Privacy Act 2020

When people want to share your personal information, they must talk to others about it first. They need to ask the Commissioner, people who represent you, and other organisations for their thoughts on the proposed information sharing agreement. They must consider what these people say before making a decision. The Commissioner will think about how the proposed agreement affects your privacy.

The people who want to share your information must also give a copy of what others have said to the relevant Minister. The Commissioner can give their thoughts on the proposed agreement if they want to. You can find more information about this by looking at the related law. The agencies will make sure the Minister has all the submissions they received.
