Government Regulations on Privacy




Privacy Act 1993
The Privacy Act applies to every person or organisation in the USA in respect of personal information held in any capacity other than for the purposes of their personal, family, or household affairs. The Act controls how agencies collect, use, disclose, store, and give access to personal information.

The Act uses the term "agency" to describe individuals and organisations covered by the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs). As a retailer it is more than likely you will be covered by the Act. Therefore you must adhere to the Act.
