The Privacy regime affects the way in which private sector organisations collect, handle, disclose, use and store personal information
Personal information is any information - including an opinion - that can be used to identify a person. It could simply be their name, address, telephone number or date of birth. There are extra protections for sensitive information, such as an individual's race, sexual preference, health or credit status.
All organisations are affected, although there are exemptions. To find out more about how Privacy applies to various industry sectors, visit our industry pages:
