Victorian Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (IPP 1, 2, 5, 8)

Rules set by the Victorian Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 governing how personal information must be collected, used, and disclosed

Part of: VCE Applied Computing - U2O1 - Innovative Solutions — Module 23

Understanding Victorian Privacy and Data Protection Act 2014 (IPP 1, 2, 5, 8) in VCE Innovative Solutions

What it does: This description matches IPP 5, which requires openness about information handling. IPP 1 sets rules for the lawful and fair collection of personal information. IPP 2 restricts use and disclosure of information beyond its original purpose. IPP 5 promotes openness, requiring clear communication about how data is managed. IPP 8 supports anonymity where it is lawful and practicable to do so. Developers handling personal data should consider IPP 1, 2, 5, and 8 in their designs. IPP 8 supports anonymity in many cases, not requiring identity to always be revealed. Secret data collection breaches both the lawful collection requirement of IPP 1 and the openness required by IPP 5.

Common mistakes: IPP 1 does not permit secret collection — information must generally be collected lawfully and fairly. IPP 2 restricts use and disclosure — information cannot be shared for any reason without limits.
