Privacy

The Australian Information Commissioner says all IOT businesses that trade trade in personal information to adopt a privacy-by-design approach. Business owners may be subject to the Privacy Act and definitely are once they reach an annual turnover of more than $3 million, when they are required to build in privacy procedures.

The commissioner said organisations should:

creating privacy policies that address IoT privacy issues
making privacy notices easy to read, including by layering notices
outlining to customers how personal information is collected, used, disclosed and stored
telling customers how they can control their information, including how to access, amend or delete their information if they wish
providing timely advice to customers seeking information about privacy practices.

The AIC is developing a number of resources for start-up businesses to assist them in implementing best privacy practices.
