Recommendation 2.
Collection notices for data providers

A rules book. A person with a finger on their mouth and the word, 'Private'. A green tick.

People should know about the rules for privacy, like how information about them will be collected and used.

A person holding up a document that says, 'Collection Notice'.

A collection notice will be given to people to say what data will be collected and how it will be used.

All data providers should use the same words on forms, documents and websites when they collect data for the data asset.

Data providers are government agencies that provide data to be included in the data asset.

A group of people smiling and giving a thumbs up. One person is holding a clipboard with a green tick.

The Australian National Data Integration Infrastructure Board (the Board) will need to say yes to the new words data providers will use. The Council will also be asked to check these words.

A person giving a thumbs up. A green tick. An award.

The Board is a group of people from different parts of government. They make sure that the support system for the data asset is working well and all the people who use it follow the rules.

Response

The Australian Coat of Arms. A map of Australia and a handshake. A green tick.

We agree.

We will ask data providers to make sure their forms, documents and websites are up to date. This should include the new words to add to collection notices.

We will ask the groups who are part of the data asset to find out what they think of the new words for collection notices.

We will ask the Board to say it is okay to use the words they have chosen for the collection notices.

This is to be done by July 2024.
