Privacy
| We are committed to protecting user privacy. We understand that visitors and users of this website are concerned about their privacy, and the confidentiality and security of any information that is provided. To address community concerns about unauthorised use of personal information, the Queensland Government has introduced a privacy scheme to be implemented in the public sector. The scheme, approved by Cabinet on 10 September 2001, will ensure public sector (government) agencies respect personal information about Queenslanders. It creates strict rules about how personal information is collected, stored, used and disclosed by the public sector. The aim is to protect both electronic and printed information about individuals from being lost, misused or inappropriately modified or disclosed. Personal information is defined as any information that would allow an individual to be identified, for example, their name, age or physical characteristics. The scheme, which is being implemented by administrative means rather than by legislation, is based on the same rules that apply to the federal public sector under the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988. Eleven Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) have been adopted from that federal legislation to form the basis of the Queensland scheme. Details of the scheme are also provided in Information Standard 42,
which was issued by the Department of Innovation and Information Economy
under ss.22(2) and 56(1) of the Financial Management Standard 1997.
