Recommendations from Stats NZ's privacy team
We recommend that you:
- Update this PIA if MSD change how they advise individuals about the collection and integration of this data.
- Complete a full Certification & Accreditation of the IDI and its components.
- Review general retention requirements, particularly where data is no longer used by a researcher (for data/datasets specifically requested for research under Part 5).
Summary
This PIA is for the collection and integration of emergency housing data from the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) by agreement with the Statistician under Section 22(c)(i), without a request having been made under Section 23 or 26, as the Statistician considers the data desirable for research under Part 5 of the Data and Statistics Act 2022. MSD is authorised to provide this data under section 32 of the Data and Statistics Act 2022.
The emergency housing data collection contains information on emergency housing grants, spells , declines, and participation in emergency housing support services. All information is sourced from the Ministry of Social Development.
MSD have not yet informed Stats NZ how many unique individuals this data should contain, or how many additional individuals in each supply.
Stats NZ plans to collect this data once a year.
Once collected, Stats NZ may link this data, containing identifying information about the individuals, to form integrated sets with other data collected by Stats NZ containing information about the same individuals. This includes integration the data into the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI), for access by approved researchers under Part 5 of the Data and Statistics Act 2022.
Once collected, Stats NZ may use the data for the production of official statistics.
Once collected, Stats NZ must ensure that all disclosure, including publication, of this data complies with the Statistical Confidentiality requirements in the Data and Statistics Act 2022.
