The new Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000, amends the Privacy Act (21 December 2001) to include laws that regulate the way private organizations, like Force Accessories, handle personal information, including very sensitive information.
The Act contains 10 National Privacy Principles that regulate, among other things, how organizations collect, store and protect non-disclosure of personal information. Also, how these organizations should use and share personal information with other organizations. The National Privacy Principles form part of all our procedures and policies and the way personal information and details are administered.
