Document background
The Intra Group Data Transfer Agreement is designed for use when Australian companies need to establish a formal framework for sharing data between different entities within their corporate group. This document has become increasingly important due to stricter privacy regulations and the need for clear governance in data handling. It specifically addresses requirements under Australian privacy law, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and related regulations, while ensuring practical business operations can continue efficiently. The agreement covers essential aspects such as data protection measures, transfer mechanisms, security requirements, and compliance obligations, making it suitable for both domestic and international group entities operating under Australian jurisdiction. It's particularly relevant in the context of increasing regulatory scrutiny of data handling practices and the need for demonstrable compliance with privacy principles.
