If the Australian Government did not obtain your private and personal
information during the so called pandemic, then you are required to provide your
name and number and of those with you
during more relaxed times, but is this lawful and what assurances are there of privacy
and ‘punishment’ if there was a breach?
Now that the apparent pandemic is on its tail end according to the
authorities of many states and territories of Australia, people’s movements are
met with less restrictions but there is one aspect (of many) that still does not
make sense and that is more data collection.
Apparently when you now decide
to conduct business inside a café, eatery they ‘require’ your details e.g name
and phone number.
So, now let’s be very clear about this. If you are required to take an
action it MUST be defined in a law i.e. an Act.
In your response to this post, can you point us to a lawfully enacted
Act that states this, as we have not seen such an Act?
Secondly, what are
the privacy guarantees, given the fact that we have seen people put their
details on a clip board where the details of others were visible?
What are the
guarantees that the business will comply with privacy law, given the fact that
the above example already occurred?
- What is the
punishment for the business for such a privacy breach?
- Will you be
notified of this breach?
(Let’s take an
educated guess, and say no)
- What financial
compensation will you receive for such a breach?
(Let’s go out on a
limb here, and say none)
Just another scam the
people are blindly following.
