Recorded Interactive Webinar: Drafting for the New Privacy Regime: Embedding Compliance into Commercial Documents
Date/Time
About the Webinar
The Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024 introduces significant changes to how Australian organizations must handle personal data, and lawyers must adapt their drafting accordingly. From privacy policies to internal governance documents and commercial contracts, the reforms require a shift toward transparency, accountability, and regulatory readiness. This session will explore how to embed the new requirements into legal drafting to reduce risk and ensure compliance. Topics include:
- Key changes introduced by the 2024 reforms and their drafting implications
- Updating privacy policies to meet new standards on opt-outs, clear disclosures, and cross-border data flows
- Drafting internal documentation that evidences "reasonable steps" through technical and organizational safeguards
- Reflecting updated obligations in client advice and commercial contracts, including service provider clauses
- Framing disclaimers, client procedures, and compliance protocols in light of increased enforcement powers
- Tips for drafting with the OAIC’s regulatory expectations in mind
