IG Innovation Navigation – Meet Up: Australia’s Privacy Bill

Description

The Bill introduces a series of measures to increase transparency and certainty regarding the handling of personal information for individuals and entities including :

•  clarifying that reasonable steps to protect information in APP 11 include technical and organisational measures,
•  introducing a mechanism to prescribe countries and binding schemes as providing substantially similar protection to the APPs, to assist entities in assessing whether to disclose personal information to an overseas recipient, and
•  requiring entities to include information in privacy policies about automated decisions that significantly affect the rights or interests of an individual.

In this interactive discussion, we will discuss what steps organisations should be taking to get ready.
