Do you know your responsibilities?
The Privacy Act requires you to follow a strict set of rules when handling personal information. Your privacy policy and website terms must outline how you will be:
Collecting personal information
Holding personal information
Using and sharing personal information
Website terms of use.
If you hold information on your website about your users, you must have a website terms of use. This sets out how a visitor to your website should conduct themselves and what happens with their personal information while they are there. This is a legally binding contract between both parties.
