Why are we proposing changes to our Privacy Policy?
Frankston City Council has drafted changes to our Privacy Policy, to ensure it reflects the most recent updates to our legislative requirements.
The draft Policy confirms Council's commitment to:
- Complying with its obligations under privacy legislation.
- Meeting community expectations regarding handling of personal information.
- Responding effectively to privacy complaints and breaches.
- Assessing privacy risks when considering new projects, strategies, policies.
What is the purpose of the draft Policy?
The Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 and the Health Records Act 2001 require Council to document policies on its management of personal information and make the documents publicly available.
The draft Policy outlines Council’s broad approach to minimising privacy risks and responding to privacy breaches and complaints.
More detailed information about the handling and protection of personal information in specific contexts is available on Council’s website at www.frankston.vic.gov.au.
