If you are an agency and you do something with information held overseas, you do not break any Information Privacy Principles if you have to do it because of a law in another country. This means that if another country's law says you must do something with the information, you can do it without breaking New Zealand's privacy rules. You can find more information about this by looking at the Privacy Act and similar laws, such as the 1993 No 28 law.

An action taken by an agency in relation to information held overseas does not breach any of the IPPs if the action is required by or under the law of any country other than New Zealand.
