New Privacy Amendment Bill Reading
The new Privacy Amendment Bill has undergone its first reading in Parliament. The deadline for final submissions is scheduled for June 14th.
Implications for Organizations
Organizations that collect personal information from sources other than the individual are required to update their privacy policies. Additionally, any automated systems used must be amended to include notifications for individuals regarding the collection of their data.
It is essential for organizations to devise a method to properly convey this information to individuals. This is especially crucial in cases where there is no direct relationship with the individual.
