Privacy Policy
DOCUMENT EXPLANATION
An Australian Privacy Principles entity (primarily Australian Government agencies, private sector organisations with a turnover of more than $3 million and health service providers) must have a clearly expressed and up to date Privacy Policy. If you are a small business with an annual turnover of $3 million or less and you meet certain criteria, you will also be required to have a Privacy Policy.
Even if the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) does not apply to your business, it is prudent to have a Privacy Policyin place so that your customers are clear on what personal information you are collecting about them and how you will use and disclose it.
In general, an Australian Privacy Principles compliant Privacy Policy should set out, amongst other things, what personal information (including sensitive information) your business collects, how the personal information is used, and under what circumstances the personal information will be disclosed to third parties.
