Privacy Act
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:
1. All personal information entered in Wageloch is stored in an encrypted format. It is stored
on Wageloch servers and/or on computers on which Wageloch is installed.
2. Transmission of personal information between computers and Wageloch servers is performed across
encrypted channels.
3. All Wageloch servers are securely hosted by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in their Sydney, Australia
datacentre.
4. Biometric data is only stored in an encrypted format on the computer on which it was collected, and never
transmitted to the Wageloch servers.
5. 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.
The contents of this information sheet do not constitute legal advice, are not intended to be a substitute for legal
advice and should not be relied upon as such. You should seek legal advice or other professional advice in
relation to any particular matters you or your organisation may have.
Sincerely,
