What is a privacy plan?
A privacy plan is a document which details how Queensland Government agencies have implemented Queensland Privacy.
IS42 requires each agency to prepare a privacy plan which is approved by the Chief Executive Officer of each agency. IPP 5 sets out what the plan must contain.
A privacy plan must provide details of:
- the types of personal information held by the agency;
- how individuals can access their own personal information that is held by the agency; and
- how the agency will implement Queensland Privacy.
Privacy plans also provide guidance to government officers who deal with personal information.
Are all Queensland Government agencies required to have a privacy plan?
Yes. Each agency is required to have a privacy plan. The privacy plan must be made available to the public and published on the agency’s website.
Agency privacy plans can be viewed by accessing the relevant agency’s website or by contacting the agency’s Privacy Contact Officer to request a copy.
How often must privacy plans be updated
Privacy plans must be updated yearly to accurately reflect the agency’s compliance with Queensland Privacy and to keep the public and other agencies informed.
