The Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (No. 60 of 2014) is a Victorian Act that governs the way in which government and public sector agencies manage and protect personal information. The Act establishes the Office of Victorian Commissioner for Privacy and Data Protection, which oversees and enforces the Act's provisions.
The Act sets out a number of Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) that public sector agencies must comply with when collecting, using, and disclosing personal information. The principles aim to ensure that personal information is handled in a transparent and accountable manner and that individuals' privacy rights are protected. These principles include requirements for agencies to obtain consent for collecting personal information, to only use the information for the purposes for which it was collected, and to take reasonable steps to protect the information from misuse, loss, and unauthorized access. The Act also lays down codes of conduct for organizations to adhere to to ensure compliance with the IPPs.
The Act also includes several enforcement mechanisms, such as the Commissioner's authority to investigate and respond to privacy violations and issue protective data security and law enforcement data security standards. Additionally, individuals have the right to access their personal information that is kept by public sector organizations and request that it be updated as needed.
