The 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)
The Privacy Act contains 13 core Privacy Principles. These principles provide a comprehensive framework for organizations to handle personal information responsibly, covering aspects like data collection, use, disclosure, and correction.
APP 1 – Open and Transparent Management of Personal Information
Transparency is key when it comes to personal information. Organizations should have a clear and up-to-date privacy policy that explains how they collect, use, and manage data. The policy must also be readily available upon request.
APP 2 – Anonymity and Pseudonymity
When practical and allowed by law, individuals can choose to interact with organizations anonymously or using a pseudonym. This option provides individuals more control over their personal information and adds an extra layer of privacy protection.
APP 3 – Collection of Solicited Personal Information
Organizations should only gather personal information when it’s genuinely needed for their activities. This collection has to follow legal guidelines and, wherever practical, should come straight from the person it concerns.
APP 4 – Dealing with Unsolicited Personal Information
When organizations receive personal information they did not solicit, they must determine whether they could have collected it under APP 3. If not, they are required to destroy or de-identify the information as soon as practicable, provided it is lawful and reasonable to do so.
APP 5 – Notification of the Collection of Personal Information
When collecting personal information, it's important to inform individuals about why it's being collected, how it will be used, and who it might be shared with. This should happen at the time of collection or as soon as possible afterward.
APP 6 – Use or Disclosure of Personal Information
Personal information should be used or disclosed only for the primary purpose for which it was collected. If there's a need to use it for something else, organizations should have consent or a valid legal reason. This principle helps prevent misuse of personal data.
APP 7 – Direct Marketing
Organizations are restricted from using personal information for direct marketing purposes without consent or unless an exception applies. Additionally, they should provide an easy way for individuals to opt out of marketing communications.
APP 8 – Cross-border Disclosure of Personal Information
Before disclosing personal information to overseas recipients, organizations should ensure that the data will be handled in line with Australian privacy standards. This means personal information remains protected, no matter where it's sent.
APP 9 – Adoption, Use or Disclosure of Government Related Identifiers
Government-issued identifiers, like tax file numbers or driver's licenses, shouldn't be used by organizations as their own identifiers for individuals. This practice helps maintain the integrity of official IDs and protects individuals from potential misuse.
APP 10 – Quality of Personal Information
Organizations must take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information they collect, use, or disclose is accurate, up-to-date, complete, and relevant. This reduces the risk of harm to individuals due to incorrect or outdated information.
APP 11 – Security of Personal Information
Organizations are required to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure. They must also destroy or de-identify personal information that is no longer needed and not required to be retained by law.
APP 12 – Access to Personal Information
Individuals have the right to access their personal information held by organizations. Upon request, access should be provided promptly unless there's a legal reason not to.
APP 13 – Correction of Personal Information
Organizations must make reasonable efforts to keep personal information accurate, current, complete, relevant, and not misleading. This applies when an individual requests a correction or if the organization realizes the information needs updating.
Is the following statement True or False:
Individuals have the right to access and correct any personal information held by organizations.
One of the key aspects of the Act is to empower individuals to access their personal information and request corrections to ensure its accuracy.
