Privacy

This privacy policy sets out how the Office of the AUASB complies with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in the Privacy Act 1988 (the Privacy Act). 

In performing our functions and administering our legislation, we may collect, hold, use or disclose your personal information.  This policy contains information about how we collect, use, disclose and store personal information, including sensitive information, and how individuals may access and correct personal information that we may hold.

We take privacy seriously and will only collect, use and disclose your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act and other applicable laws.

The Privacy Act applies to information about individuals, not to information about entities such as businesses, firms or trusts.  If we do not receive personal information about you, the Privacy Act will not apply.  Detailed information on the Privacy Act can be found on the website of the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
