Privacy Statement
Privacy
The Information Privacy Act 2009 (IP Act) recognises the importance of protecting the personal information of individuals. It creates a right for individuals to access and amend their own personal information and provides rules for how agencies may and must handle personal information. The IP Act sets out:
- Obligations to comply with privacy principles and the circumstances in which Cloncurry Shire Council does not need to comply
- How and when people can access and amend their personal information
- A right for people to make a privacy complaint where there has been a breach of the privacy principles in relation to their information
Council is committed to fulfilling its obligations under the IP Act and has adopted an appropriate Information Privacy Policy to ensure its practices meet these obligations.
If you are dissatisfied with how your personal information has been handled, you may lodge a privacy complaint.
