124: Conditions that may be imposed on providing information under this subpart

You could also call this:

“The government can set rules for sharing information to keep it safe”

This bill proposes that the chief executive may set rules when giving out information. The chief executive will think about whether these rules are needed to keep people’s private information safe.

The rules might say things like:

You need to keep the information secret, especially if it’s about a person.

You have to be careful about how you store the information, use it, or let others see it.

You need to follow instructions about copying documents, giving them back, or getting rid of copies.

You might have to pay for the costs of getting the information.
