Q&A

Question: Do I need to have a privacy policy?

Answer:

Small businesses with an annual turnover of $3 million or less are generally not required to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles contained within the Privacy Act, and so having a Privacy Policy isn’t mandatory. However, there are exceptions. You can check whether or not you need to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles using this checklist.
