Australia's Privacy Watchdog Launches Compliance Sweep
Update: 2026-01-02
Description
Australias privacy watchdog is launching a compliance sweep, targeting businesses that collect personal details from customers. The focus is on sectors like real estate, car dealerships, and bars, with fines up to $66,000 for those not following privacy rules. The issue lies in the power imbalance during quick transactions, where people feel pressured to share data, and companies often keep it longer than necessary, increasing risks of cyberattacks. Businesses must prove their data collection policies, including why they collect data, how long they store it, and if its shared overseas.
