In Australia, some businesses legally must have a Privacy Policy to comply with Privacy Law obligations. For everyone else, it’s just good business to have one.
Many organisations or businesses collecting information from customers (including names, phone numbers etc) are required, under the Privacy Act, to make them aware of what they’re collecting.
Nowadays, especially with the overcoming of the digital era, businesses should clearly communicating their privacy policy on their website, following the Australian Privacy Principles.
Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) are a set of standards governing the collection and use of data.
There are many template privacy policies out there that don’t actually cover Australian businesses for what they need to comply with Australian Privacy Law.
