🇦🇺 Key Australian Privacy Act Requirements

Australia's Privacy Act 1988 and its 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) regulate how organizations with annual turnover over AUD $3 million collect, use, and disclose personal information. The OAIC (Office of the Australian Information Commissioner) enforces the law and can issue fines up to AUD $50 million for serious and repeated breaches.

• Notify individuals about data collection at or before the time of collection
• Only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary
• Provide individuals with access to their personal information
• Take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse or unauthorized access
• Notify the OAIC and affected individuals of eligible data breaches (Notifiable Data Breaches scheme)
• Cross-border disclosure requires that overseas recipients comply with the APPs

Mobile App — Specific Considerations

Mobile apps are subject to strict data policies from both Apple App Store and Google Play Store, and both require a public privacy policy URL before approval. Apps frequently access device permissions — location, camera, contacts, health data — each of which must be explicitly disclosed and legally justified.

Data typically collected by Mobile App businesses: device identifiers, location data, camera/microphone access, push notification tokens, in-app behavior, health/fitness data

• App Store and Google Play compliance
• Device permission justifications (location, camera, contacts)
• Push notification data
• In-app purchase terms
• Children's data (COPPA) if app targets under-13s
