Businesses operating in Australia that collect any kind of “personal information” may be required to comply with strict obligations in relation to privacy protection in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Personal information
For these purposes, “personal information” is defined to mean, in summary:
“information or an opinion, whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable”
Common examples include names, addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, medical records, bank account details and even personal opinions.
Sensitive information
Extra obligations are placed around the collection and handling of “sensitive information”. This includes (without limitation) information about a person’s health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of associations or unions, religious or philosophical beliefs or affiliations, sexual orientation and/or criminal record.
