Privacy And Data Lawyer

Data management and privacy have become increasingly important issues for businesses and individuals in Australia. Data management, privacy policies and privacy procedures are vital tools for growing and established companies, especially those that collect personal information.

Prosper Law’s privacy and data protection legal services can ensure that your business is compliant with Australian privacy law and data protection laws.

As Australia moves towards a hybrid approach between principles-based and codified privacy laws (similar to the GDPR), it’s essential for businesses to invest in privacy and data compliance and legal advice.

What is data privacy?

Data privacy refers to a person’s right or ability to determine for themselves when, how, and to what extent personal information about them is shared or communicated to others.

This personal information can be one’s name, location, contact information, or online or real-world behaviour. In Australia, privacy is governed by some State laws as well as the Federal Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

What is sensitive information?

In Australia, there are strict obligations when it comes to sensitive information.

This is because of the impact to people if sensitive information is disclosed. It may have a significant consequence on a person’s life. The nature of sensitive information means that if a business inappropriately handles that information, the person affected might suffer discrimination, mistreatment, humiliation or embarrassment.

Companies that deal with sensitive information must take extra care.
