Summary of National and International Privacy Principles

Collection. Collection of personal information must be fair, lawful and not intrusive. A person must be told the organisation’s name, the purpose of the collection that the person can get access to their personal information and what happens if the person does not give the information.
Use/Disclosure. An organisation should only use or disclose information for the purpose for which it was collected unless the person has consented, or the secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose and a person would reasonably expect such use or disclosure.
Data Quality. An organisation must take reasonable steps to make sure that the personal information it collects, uses or discloses is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
Security. An organisation must take reasonable steps to protect the personal information it holds from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Openness. An organisation must have a policy document outlining its information handling practices and make this available to anyone who asks.
Access. Generally speaking, an organisation must give an individual access to personal information it holds about that individual on request.
Government Identifiers. Generally speaking, an organisation must not adopt, use or disclose an identifier that has been assigned by a Commonwealth government agency. (i.e. must not use tax file, Medicare or pension numbers but ABN is allowed)
Anonymity. Organisations must give people the option to interact anonymously whenever it is lawful and practicable to do so.
Trans-border data flows. An organisation can only transfer personal information to a recipient in a foreign country in circumstances where the information will have appropriate protection.
Sensitive information. An organisation must not collect sensitive information unless the individual has consented, it is required by law – or in other special circumstances, for example, relating to health services provision and individual or public health and safety.
