Having a privacy policy for your business that is easily viewed on your website by anyone accessing your goods or services is becoming best business practice for most Australian businesses.
The range of businesses that must comply with the Privacy Act coverage is growing, and for those businesses having a written privacy policy in place is a legal requirement.
For this reason, and because consumers are increasingly concerned with how their personal information is collected, used, disclosed and stored, most businesses are opting to have a privacy policy on their website to confirm their compliance with Australia's privacy laws.
