Answer

I am advised that a Privacy Impact Assessment was completed for the govt.nz app and a privacy statement was published on the New Zealand Government website at the following link: https://www.govt.nz/about/the-govt-nz-app/privacy/ The govt.nz app has also recently been accredited under the Digital Identity Services Trust Framework Act which included a robust review of its privacy controls.
