In May, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner ("OAIC") released a consultation draft guide to big data and the Australian Privacy Principles. The guide provides guidance on how to facilitate big data activities while ensuring the protection of personal information and addresses big data privacy challenges such as notice and consent, data collection, retention minimization, and use limitation. The OAIC is currently accepting feedback on the draft.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
