There's a proposal that APP 11 require both maximum and minimum retention periods for personal information, and that these rules are regularly reviewed - implications here for records disposal programs https://t.co/Eyc7nqiTHF

[Office of the Australian Information Commissioner @OAICgov]

We welcome the final report of the Attorney-General’s Department’s (AGD) review of the Privacy Act 1988 and encourage interested parties to have their say about privacy reform in Australia through the AGD’s feedback process.

[Cassie Findlay @CassPF]

👉😮"The Commonwealth should undertake a review of all legal provisions that require retention of personal information to determine if the provisions appropriately balance their intended policy objectives with the privacy and cyber security risks" https://t.co/Eyc7nqiTHF
