- The ATSB is a proud partner of Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) 2016.
This year's PAW theme, Privacy in your hands, reinforces the message that organisations, agencies and individuals must be vigilant in maintaining a good understanding of their rights and responsibilities for the handling of personal information.
You can find out more about how we protect your privacy by reading our privacy policy, which is available on our website www.atsb.gov.au Our policy addresses the following issues:
- the types of personal information collected and held by the ATSB (including sensitive information);
- how and why we collect personal information;
- how the ATSB stores personal information;
- use and disclosure of personal information (including overseas disclosure);
- how you can access and correct your personal information; and
- how you can make a privacy complaint to us.
Of course, we are not the only agency that collects your personal information. Here are some tips from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner to help you protect your own personal information:
- Know your privacy rights
- Read privacy policies and notices
- Always ask why, how and who — this will help you to know how your personal information is going to be used
- Check your credit report
- Protect yourself online
- Be aware of your mobile security
- Use security software
- Be careful what you share on social media
- Don't leave your personal information lying around — make sure your records are properly destroyed
- Beware of scams.
