MSD Guidance Re: Letters branding
Miss W. Forest made this Official Information request to Privacy Commissioner
Privacy Commissioner did not have the information requested.
From: Miss W. Forest
Dear Privacy Commissioner,
I am seeking the guidance document or opinion otherwise issued to either Ministry of Social Development or the associated Minister ("MSD") outlining the Privacy Commissioner response to MSD seeking guidance for the use of publicly visible branding on it's letters associated with it's clients. These letters are where the clients cannot effectively opt out or not able to refuse to provide their address in order to receive benefits.
If this guidance document does not exist please let me know -
I nonetheless believe it does. Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
Miss W. Forest

We have refused your request under section 18(e) of the OIA on the basis that the document alleged to contain the information requested does not exist or, despite reasonable efforts to locate it, cannot be found.
We note there are a number of case notes on our website which address the issue of agency details contained on envelopes:
• Case Note 23067 [2003] NZPrivCmr 23: Patient objects to receiving X-rays in envelope with label indicating contents.

• Case Note 35433 [2003] NZPrivCmr 17: Addressee objects to Community Probation Service's details on envelope.
