Privacy vs. sharing data for the public good – have your say

The New Zealand Data Futures Forum was established by the Ministers of Finance and Statistics to have a balanced conversation with New Zealand about the opportunities, risks and benefits of sharing data.

It is particularly keen that people have a say about the potential sharing of big data (information captured through instruments, sensors, internet transactions, email, video, click streams, and other digital activity) held by public and private-sector organisations. How do individuals control their own information and identity while at the same time creating an environment where data can be harnessed for public and economic good?

The Forum will be active until the end of June this year. To post a comment go to https://www.nzdatafutures.org.nz/have-your-say
