Amelia Harris | New Zealand Privacy and Data Protection Consultant

Protecting client data is no longer optional – it's essential to building trust and meeting today’s privacy regulations

Many organisations find themselves struggling to keep up, as data protection is often an afterthought. 

It’s only when launching a new system, preparing for an audit, or responding to an incident that privacy moves to the top of the agenda. 

Without dedicated privacy expertise, the risk of non-compliance or data breaches can feel overwhelming.

To meet these challenges, you need a reliable, expert-driven privacy framework that’s not only compliant but practical and sustainable. 

That’s where I come in.

Amelia Harris | New Zealand Privacy and Data Protection Consultant

As a Privacy Specialist and AI Governance Consultant, my work is centred on helping New Zealand organisations build trust by securing their data and ensuring compliance.

With a background in law and a strong interest in technology, I combine these skills to offer practical solutions that protect and empower.

I’ve had the privilege of working with both government departments and private sector clients, guiding them through the complex landscape of data privacy and ethical AI use.

For me, prioritising privacy isn’t just about compliance – it’s about doing what’s right.

The principles that guide my work

My goal is to empower organisations to protect personal data and build trust through practical, responsible privacy and AI governance solutions.

By making compliance achievable and privacy second nature, I enable my clients to confidently safeguard their reputation and foster meaningful client relationships.

Integrity

I prioritise doing what’s right, even when it’s not the easiest option - delivering advice and solutions that genuinely serve my clients’ best interests, while staying true to ethical and legal standards in privacy and AI governance.

Honesty

Transparent advice requires full understanding. I build trust by being open and clear at every stage of my work and expect the same from my clients. 

Empathy

I understand the challenges my clients face with data protection and am committed to providing solutions that bring clarity and peace of mind.
