AU: Govt refuses to support data breach notification bill

Posted on June 19, 2014 by Dissent

Allie Coyne reports:

The Coalition Government has refused to back a reinvigorated bill that would force companies to notify customers of a data breach, saying while it agrees with the concept in principle, the proposed legislation needs more work.

The text of the current Privacy Alerts Bill 2014 is identical to the Privacy Alerts Bill 2013. It seeks to compel entities that suffer a serious data breach – involving personal, credit, or tax file number data – to notify the Privacy Commissioner and individuals affected as soon as possible.
