Promoting and protecting the data, insights and research industry ADIA Privacy Compliance Committee Chair, Professor Peter Leonard recently stepped members through the latest privacy reforms with an exclusive member webinar. With the recent finding by the OAIC Privacy Commissioner regarding Kmart's unlawful use of facial recognition, ADIA's webinar last week with renowned Privacy law expert - and ADIA Privacy Compliance Committee Chair - Professor Peter Leonard was a timely reminder of the anticipated wide-ranging changes. The refreshed and additionally empowered Australian Privacy Commissioner has been quietly reinterpreting the law and using new enforcement powers to discipline entities that don’t understand and apply the reinterpreted rules. All data-enabled entities are now in the Commissioner’s sights. Penalties, and public naming and shaming, are new enforcement tools. ‘Papering your way to compliance’ is no longer a safe option and the new changes will likely require data governance process changes within your organisation. Peter Leonards presentation: The past is no guide to the future identifies the Commissioner’s priority enforcement areas and outlines practical compliance strategies to respond to the changes and is now available as a recording for all members via the ADIA website.* With a record number of members registering to join this important webinar, ADIA remains committed to ensuring members are constantly provided with up-to-date and relevant information. *ADIA login required About Professor Peter Leonard |
