Privacy Amendment Bill Proposes New Data Collection Rules
The new Privacy Amendment Bill has had it's first reading in Parliament with final submissions due by June 14th. Proposed changes will mean organisations who collect personal information from other sources than the individual will need to update their privacy policies and ensure any automated systems are amended to include notifying individuals that their data has been collected. Organisations will need to plan exactly how this information can be made available to individuals, particularly in situations where you do not have a direct relationship with the individual.
