What is "personal information"?
-
The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) currently defines "personal
information" as meaning information or an opinion about an
identified individual or an individual who is reasonably
identifiable: whether the information or opinion is true or not;
and whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material
form or not.
-
If the information does not disclose your identity or enable your
identity to be ascertained, it will in most cases not be
classified as "personal information" and will not be subject to
this privacy policy.
