The Office has built itself on the principles of transparency, completing extensive national and international stakeholder consultations and establishing (and communicating) the rights and obligations of both parties. However, once the Office determined the need for the collection of personal information (the contact information of panel members, requesters and responding parties as well as their personal opinions and life experiences), they became subject to the additional compliance obligations of the Privacy Act, Privacy Regulations and surrounding governance. Consequently, a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) was developed to assess the privacy implications involved, identify any privacy risks and develop mitigating measures for these risks as required.
