This paper outlines the processes for managing the privacy risks raised by integrating two particular census datasets.

Overview

Integrating New Zealand Census Mortality Study and New Zealand Longitudinal Census: Privacy impact assessment provides a systematic evaluation of the privacy risks associated with integrating datasets from the New Zealand Census Mortality Study (NZCMS) and the New Zealand Longitudinal Census (NZLC). It outlines the processes for managing these risks.
