collection notice → A short message shown when data is collected that explains who we are, why we need the data and who gets it

Purpose of collection: the notice must say why the data is needed → Purpose: We collect your email to send your class timetable.

Who data is shared with: the notice must name who may receive it → Shared with: your school and our app hosting provider.

The notice pops up after the user's details are saved to the database. → The notice came too late. APP 5 says people must be told at or before collection, not after.

Notice: We collect your data for business reasons. → The notice is too vague. It does not say who is collecting, what the real purpose is or who the data is shared with.

Section C: Definitions

APP 5 notification — APP 5 says an organisation must tell people, at or before it collects their info, who is collecting it, why it is needed, and who it may be shared with.

Section D: Fill in the Blanks

SHOW notice BEFORE COLLECT data

notice.purpose = "to run the canteen app"

notice.sharedWith = "payment provider"

notice.organisation = "Eastside High School"

IF noticeShown = TRUE THEN
  COLLECT data

Section E: Spot the Error

B — APP 5 says the notice must tell people who is collecting their information. That is the organisation, not the user. It should be notice.who ← org.

B — APP 5 requires the notice to give the real purpose of collection. 'Not sure yet' tells people nothing. It should state a clear purpose such as "Book a court".

C — The program sends the email to an ad company, so the notice must say who the data is shared with. Saying "Nobody" is wrong. It should name the ad company.

D — The notice only says the data is shared with the courier. Sending the address to a data broker shares it with someone the person was not told about. It should be sent to "Courier".

B — An empty value means the notice does not say who is collecting the information. APP 5 requires the organisation to be named, so it should be notice.who ← "Peak Fitness".
