To date, no privacy impact assessments have been published in this country. However, they are increasingly common in other jurisdictions, notably New Zealand, the US, Canada and Hong Kong. It may therefore be helpful to look at examples and guidelines from these countries, always bearing in mind that they are complying with different data protection legislation.
Guidelines
Blair Stewart, Assistant Privacy Commissioner of New Zealand, produced
a comprehensive list of completed PIAs as well as guidelines and commentaries in June 2003.
