Privacy Statement

NENWACC’s Privacy Policy complies with the National Privacy Principles (NPPs) established by the Privacy Act 1988 and which was subsequently amended by the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 (which came into operation on 21 December 2001).

The Act regulates the way private sector organisations can collect, use, keep secure and disclose personal information. For the first time, it gives individuals the right to know why organisations collect information, what information an organisation holds about them, how it will use the information and to whom it is disclosed as well as a right to correct that information if it is wrong.
