Anonymous Coward User ID: 1132991 Australia 01/17/2011 11:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | from OPs link: "...Best check your privacy settings Australian Privacy Commissioner Timothy Pilgram warned that the automatic creation of identifiable profiles of individuals without their knowledge was "not good privacy practice". "Organisations covered under the Privacy Act 1988 are generally required to provide individuals with notice that their information is being collected," he told iTnews. "These organisations should also only use the information for the purpose for which it was collected, must store the information securely, and must delete it when it is no longer needed for that purpose. "These obligations apply even when the personal information is publicly available." Pilgrim advised individuals to read websites' privacy policies to ensure they are aware of how their personal information would be used..." In other words there's major loopholes for aussie ISPs that ALL those social sites have utilised OR he's a coplete dill that's going to get his arse raked through the coals OR reverse psy to gain media attention/publicity for dating company. bah! |
