Confidentiality and privacy statement
Confidentiality and confidential information
Te Kāhui Kāhu is committed to respecting the confidentiality of your information.
Information sharing
We may provide government agencies with your organisation’s information—including accreditation/approval information and contact details. This allows contract or funding management activities to be streamlined.
Your organisation’s details will not be made public. They will be available to registered agency users from funding agencies.
If you do not want us to share your organisation’s information with other agencies, you must inform us in writing.
Collecting information
We collect information for accreditation/approval purposes and for managing your accreditation/approval status. This information could include a staff member’s name, designation and contact details. The information we collect may be used to contact your organisation regarding an application, assessment, issue or to manage a complaint.
Where possible, we will always ask your organisation directly for personal information. Providing this information is voluntary. However, we may not be able to complete the accreditation/approval process if you do not submit the relevant information.
If any information that you provide is unclear, we will attempt to contact your organisation to clarify.
Retaining information
Personal information you provide will be kept securely in our systems. Our data is housed in secure data facilities in Australia and New Zealand.
As part of the assessment process, we may need more personal information. This will be about your organisation's staff, or the individuals, families and whānau you engage with. The information helps us to confirm that your organisation meets the standards.
An example of this is looking at evidence of suitable staff vetting. When we view this information, we will not record or keep anything that could identify specific individuals. We will instead record anonymised notes.
NZ Police or Ministry of Justice vetting results
Te Kāhui Kāhu will not ask you to send staff vetting results. This information will only be viewed when we visit your organisation.
Accessing and correcting information
Under the Privacy Act 2020, you have the right to ask us to provide you with the details of any personal information we hold about you as an individual. Your organisation's staff members also have the right to ask for their personal information.
You have the right to ask us to update or amend any personal information we have about you, if you feel that it is incorrect or out of date.
To request a copy of your information, or a correction to your information, email accreditation@tekahuikahu.govt.nz.
