Hidden Secrets in Derived Data

This presentation from a panel of legal practitioners, IT director and cyber risk expert will decipher the myriad of applicable IT security policies and technologies options to prepare for the foreshadowed changes to the Privacy Act in the backdrop of the Online Privacy Bill Exposure Draft[5].

OAIC has warned of the privacy risks with de-identified data[1]. Information is considered to be de-identified where there is no reasonable likelihood of re-identification occurring. De-identified data is not considered personal information and is therefore not subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act).

The current review of the Privacy Act by the Attorney-General’s Department[2] explored the impact of technical or derived information in the definition of personal information (in chapter 2 /page 21 in the Discussion Paper[3]). The 2017 OAIC and CSIRO-Data61 ‘De-Identification Decision-Making Framework’[4] is a practitioner guide intended to eliminate the need to ‘call in the experts’.
