Document background
The Privacy Information Notice is a fundamental privacy compliance document required under Australian privacy law, specifically the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Organizations must provide this notice when collecting personal information to ensure transparency and maintain compliance with APP 5. The notice should be provided at or before the time of collection, or as soon as practicable afterward if collection from a third party occurs. It must detail the organization's identity, collection purposes, disclosure practices, overseas recipients (if any), and how individuals can access and correct their information. The document serves as both a legal compliance tool and a trust-building mechanism with stakeholders, requiring regular updates to reflect changes in data handling practices or legal requirements.
