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

Slack App — Specific Considerations

Slack apps (bots, integrations, and workflows) have access to workspace messages, files, and user data within the Slack workspace where they're installed. Slack's API scopes control what data your app can access, but workspace administrators and users must know what your app reads and stores. The Slack App Directory requires a privacy policy and imposes strict data handling requirements, especially for apps that access message content.

Data typically collected by Slack App businesses: Slack workspace member names and emails, message content accessed via API scopes, file and attachment data, channel membership and metadata, user profile data, event subscription data

• Slack API scope disclosure (what messages/data the app reads)
• Workspace administrator consent and user notification
• Message content retention and deletion policy
• Slack App Directory compliance requirements
• OAuth token security and revocation handling
