We refer to your Official Information Act request of 20 November 2024.
You request:
Please provide the latest reporting and the copy of the agreements that have been
forwarded to the privacy commissioner pertaining the information sharing and matching
relating to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment ("MBIE") holding the Tenancy
bonds related information.
Also please share the original request of, provided opinion or advice and any latest review
provided to MBIE pertaining to any existing or future programmes relating to either
information sharing or matching.
Additionally if any other agency or minister has sought advise or review has been provided
please include the requests and responses of these.
For the avoidance of doubt this is relating both the old and new system that MBIE is
adopting for the tenancy information.
Our response
Having checked out records, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner doesn’t hold information
relating to the sharing and matching of tenancy bond information held by MBIE. As such, your
request is refused under section 18(e) of the Of icial Information Act 1982 on the grounds that
the information does not exist.
There is a list of information matching and information sharing agreements on our
website,
that OPC monitors and keeps under review.
If you are wanting know more about Tenancy information and how it is used, you may wish to
direct your request to MBIE.
