Exemptions to the PPIP Act
What exemptions are there to the PPIP Act?
There are four major sources of exemptions to the PPIP Act:
- exemptions written in the PPIP Act itself
- exemptions written in a regulation made by the Attorney General under the PPIP Act
- exemptions written in a privacy code of practice, made by the Attorney General under the PPIP Act
- exemptions written in a public interest direction, made by the Privacy Commissioner under the PPIP Act
Each exemption could affect one or more of:
- the definition of ‘personal information’ (for example see section 4(3)(j))
- whether the Act affects specific functions (for example see section 6)
- whether the IPPs apply to a particular agency (for example see section 27)
- one or more of the IPPs (for example see section 23)
- the public register provisions (for example see the Privacy Code of Practice for Local Government)
