Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)

The Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) are a set of 13 guidelines established under the Privacy Act 1988 to protect personal information. They govern how Australian government agencies and private organizations collect, use, disclose, and store personal data. Key principles include ensuring personal information is collected fairly, used for necessary purposes, kept secure, and accessible for individuals to review. The APPs aim to enhance individual privacy rights and promote transparency, requiring organizations to handle personal data responsibly and inform individuals about their privacy rights.
