Privacy laws known as the Australian Privacy Principles were introduced in 2014, the laws are a new set of privacy principles affecting the handling of personal information.
If you have a website privacy policy you should review it for compliance with the privacy principles. The aim of the principles was to bring Australia’s privacy laws (first introduced in 2001) in line with current technology trends and to provide more transparency around the capture and use of personal information. The principles apply to organisations and Government agencies and fines of up to $1.7 million may apply for non-compliance. |
