Joint Policy Statement for the collection of bulk personal datasets
Scott made this Official Information request to Government Communications Security Bureau
The request was successful.
From: Scott
Dear Government Communications Security Bureau,
In the recently re-issued Ministerial Policy Statement – Publically available information, it is stated that:
“GCSB and NZSIS may collect large datasets which might include personal information relating to a number of individuals. GCSB and NZSIS must have a policy that provides guidance on the collection, use, retention and disposal of this type of information.”
I would like to request a copy of the Joint Policy Statement that provides the guidance referred to here.
Yours faithfully,
Scott

Kia ora Scott
We refer to your official information request of 20 May 2022.
The Official Information Act 1982 requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day you submitted your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are, therefore, writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 1 August 2022.
This extension is necessary because the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this decision, please feel free to contact [GCSB request email]
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Ngā mihi
