The Privacy Act 1988 is Australian legislation that governs the handling of personal information by organisations. It includes the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), which outline requirements for privacy and data protection. We help you understand and comply with these requirements.
Ensuring compliance involves understanding your obligations under privacy laws, implementing data protection policies, and managing consent and transparency. We provide expert advice to help you meet these obligations and protect personal information.
A data protection policy should outline how personal information is collected, stored, used, and protected. It should also address data access, security measures, and procedures for managing data breaches. We assist in developing comprehensive policies tailored to your business.
If a data breach occurs, you must follow notification requirements, assess the risk and impact, and take remedial actions to address the breach. We help you manage data breaches, including notifying affected individuals and regulatory bodies, and implementing corrective measures.
Enhancing data security involves implementing technical safeguards, such as encryption and access controls, as well as organisational practices, such as staff training and regular audits. We advise on effective data security measures to protect personal information.
