Privacy Policy

 
OUR COMMITTMENT TO PRIVACY

The Privacy Act includes a set of 13 harmonised privacy principles that regulate the handling of personal information by Australian and Norfolk Island Government agencies and some private sector organisations. These principles are called the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). They replace both the Information Privacy Principles (IPPs) that applied to Australian Government agencies and the National Privacy Principles (NPPs) that applied to some private sector organisations.
  
PT Partners is not subject to the APPs as it is not an APP entity under the Act. This is because we are defined as being a "small business operator". However, although not strictly governed by the APPs, PT Partners is committed to privacy and our own Privacy Policy reflects this commitment.
