The Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 (No. 133) (PPIPA) is a privacy law in the state of New South Wales, Australia, that regulates the collection, use, and storage of personal information by government agencies.

The PPIPA sets out the legal framework for protecting personal information in New South Wales. It applies to state government agencies, statutory or declared authorities, the police service, and local councils. It provides individuals with certain rights in relation to the handling of their personal information, and it imposes obligations on organizations that handle personal information to protect the privacy of individuals.

PPIPA requires that organizations have a privacy policy, and must notify individuals about how their personal information will be used, and it provides individuals the right to access their personal information and to request corrections if it is inaccurate. It also limits the use and disclosure of personal information by organizations. If an individual believes that their rights have been breached under the PPIPA, they can make a complaint to the Privacy Commissioner.
