The Privacy Act (1988) may or may not be applicable to your business depending on several factors including annual turnover and the type of business you operate.
You can find and view the latest version of the Act at
https://www.legislation.gov.au/Series/C2004A03712.
With some exceptions, your business will be considered a small business that is not covered by the Act if your annual business turnover is less than $3 million.
The Australian Privacy Principles (APP) listed in the Privacy Act require businesses to develop and make readily available a policy about their management of personal information. To assist with providing information to your employees about the collection and storage of their personal information, Wageloch advises the following:
- All personal information entered into Wageloch is stored in an encrypted format. It is stored on Wageloch servers and/or on computers on which Wageloch is installed.
- Transmission of personal information between computers and Wageloch servers is performed across encrypted channels.
- All Wageloch servers are securely hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in their Sydney, Australia datacentre.
- Biometric data is only stored in an encrypted format on the computer on which it was collected, and never transmitted to the Wageloch servers.
- Wageloch never shares personal information with any third parties, unless your business has expressly authorised us to allow access to third parties via the Wageloch API. If you have authorised third parties to access Wageloch via the Wageloch API, then you will need to contact those third parties to obtain a similar statement from them around how they treat your employees’ personal information.
