Supporting Privacy Reform in Australia and New
Zealand
Jurisdictions around the world, including
Australia and New Zealand, have amended or created privacy
legislation with the goal of adapting to the continuing
technological advancements and reinforcing rights of individuals.
Australia just named a new privacy
commissioner, and recently amended the Australian Privacy Act
introducing mandatory notification procedures for data breaches.
According to the latest Notifiable Data Breaches Quarterly
Statistics Report there were 242 notifications during the last
quarter with the health and finance sectors reporting the highest
number of data breaches. In March, New
Zealand's government introduced a Privacy Bill to replace
its Privacy Act from 1993. The Bill's explanatory notes the changes
will align New Zealand's privacy
law with international developments, such as the GDPR. The Bill
gives individuals the right to access and correct their personal
information, imposes strict requirements for privacy breach
notifications and data transfer limitations.
Read the report: OneTrust is the largest and
most widely used dedicated software provider in privacy management,
and according to Ovum Research, is positioned as a strategic leader
in global privacy beyond the GDPR
These recent legislative changes, as well as consumer's
increased awareness and expectations around privacy, attest to the
significant need for privacy management tools to enable companies
in the ANZ's region to automate their processes. OneTrust is
committed to supporting these new and updated ANZ privacy
regulations. OneTrust will integrate these specific privacy
guidelines into the award-winning privacy technology and marketing
compliance platform. Customers will be supported by OneTrust's new
Melbourne office led by
Robinson Roe, privacy solutions
experts with deep knowledge about local and global privacy laws and
two new local data centres in Australia and New
Zealand.
"The GDPR, and more broadly, consumer awareness of privacy
risks, are sparking businesses across sectors and jurisdictions to
continuously reassess their privacy compliance across a growing
matrix of regulatory requirements," said Robinson Roe, Managing Director of ANZ,
OneTrust. "I am thrilled to lead OneTrust's new Melbourne offices and expanded ANZ support to
further empower customers to meet both local and global privacy
regulations. As the privacy landscape continues to mature, we
remain committed to incorporating new data
protection regulations and the most up-to-date guidance as it
becomes available."
"Our expansion in Australia and
New Zealand shows our commitment
to innovating and developing our technology, research, services and
user community to serve the changing global privacy market," said
Kabir Barday, OneTrust CEO and
