TERMS DEFINED IN THE ACT
The Act defines "personal information" as information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable:
whether the information or opinion is true or not; and
whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.
If information does not disclose your identity or enable your identity to be ascertained, it will in most cases not be classified as "personal information" and will not be subject to this Privacy Policy. For example, a street address alone is not personal information but if linked to a name of the person likely to be living there, then the address is personal information.
The Act defines sensitive information to include personal information about an individual's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association, membership of a trade union, sexual orientation or practices and criminal record and also health and genetic information about an individual.
