This week (4 to 10 May) is Privacy Awareness Week across the Asia Pacific and Holding Redlich is proud to be a Privacy Awareness Week partner.
Our Privacy and Data Protection team have been doing work with a range of clients putting in place Privacy Act compliant policies, internal procedures and revamping contractual arrangements with third party providers to comply with the changes that came into force in March this year.
Not only can the Privacy Commissioner now impose heavy fines and enforceable undertakings, but reputation risk and customer trust are also key issues.
You can find information and links to a range of publications on our privacy and data protection page here... including resources published by the Australian Office of the Information Commissioner.
To assist you in complying with the new laws, we have a webinar available that was presented by General Counsel Lyn Nicholson in the Sydney office in late February just prior to the introduction of the new laws. For access to the webinar and related materials, please email Julie Gordon.
If you are confident that you have done all your initial preparations but want to consider in detail some of the specific issues that may arise under the privacy reforms, we have prepared a webinar on "Privacy Reform - Where you should be now". For a link to this webinar, please email Julie Gordon.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
