Petition challenges current privacy enforcement settings<\/p>\n
Feldtmann, who is based in Whanganui, said current penalty settings do not create sufficient financial consequences for organisations that mishandle personal information. \u201cBecause $10,000 for one organisation, if you make millions, the fact that it\u2019s up to $10,000 and not proportionate, on annual turnover or things like that, it really just is not adequate,\u201d she said, as reported by RNZ<\/a>.\u00a0Under the Privacy Act, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner can issue fines of up to $10,000 for a limited set of offences. These include failing to comply with a compliance notice, misleading an organisation to obtain someone else\u2019s personal information, destroying requested information to avoid release, and not notifying the commissioner of a notifiable breach. \u201cThey\u2019re just not enough. I think they\u2019re just too low to be encouraging people to do better; they are hindering organisations from doing better because the penalty is cheaper than actually implementing some better security and privacy measures,\u201d Feldtmann said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Petition challenges current privacy enforcement settings Feldtmann, who is based in Whanganui, said current penalty settings do not…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":236419,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49902,6904,111,43,139,69,131489],"class_list":["post-236418","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-cyber-threats","tag-data-breach","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-privacy-breach"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
