Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of various website privacy statements within six distinguished industries, namely: Retail, Banking, Travel & Tourism, Government, Healthcare and Entertainment in line with the requirements of the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020. As data privacy concerns are highly prevalent in a time where data is a highly valuable asset and leveraged for organizational competitive advantage, this study seeks to evaluate the extent to which popular websites in these industries adhere to the legal requirements and industry best practices that are outlined in the latest Privacy Act using a content analysis questionnaire. This study also seeks to evaluate Government privacy statements against other industries and evaluate further the published information security practices of New Zealand websites.
