Privacy for non-specialists – myth-busting session!

We’re all interested in our own privacy online, but we aren’t all lawyers.

As part of Privacy Week 2024, Katrine Evans, Government Chief Privacy Officer, will take a look at common myths around privacy. She’ll share approaches that you can use to improve privacy awareness in your mahi and workplace.

Some myths Katrine will cover:

• Privacy’s the job of our privacy team, not my job.
• Privacy stops me from getting my work done.
• Privacy’s all about risks. What about innovation?
• The Privacy Act stops me from talking to people.

Check out other privacy events listed at the Office of the Privacy Commissioner’s website.
