From 12 March 2014, the Australian Privacy Principles (APP’s) replaced the National Privacy Principles and Information Privacy Principles. These new principles apply to private sector organizations who deal with information relating to individuals. This legislation is designed to protect personal information about individuals and sets in place a framework and guidelines about how to deal with this information. APP 1.3 requires an APP entity to have a clearly expressed and up-to-date APP privacy policy describing how it manages personal information.

An APP privacy policy is a key tool for meeting APP 1’s requirements.

Global Nutrition Australia Pty Ltd is dedicated to providing robust privacy policies and procedures for its staff and clients. This includes ensuring that it conforms with all required APP’s including the provision of a clearly expressed and readily available Privacy Policy. This is completed by the provision of this Privacy Policy Manual.

To assist with this compliance, Global Nutrition Australia Pty Ltd ensures that all of its staff members adhere to these policies and procedures. Any breaches of these policies and procedures must be reported to the relevant staff members manager or supervisor immediately so that any appropriate measures can be taken to mitigate any issues surrounding an identified breach.

Every staff member of Global Nutrition Australia Pty Ltd who handles personal information is required to have an understanding of the Australian Privacy Principles (APP’s) and the objectives of the Privacy Act generally. Where a more detailed knowledge of Global Nutrition Australia Pty Ltd’s rights and responsibilities is required, the Privacy Officer will be able to provide assistance.

All staff are encouraged to discuss privacy issues with the nominated Privacy Officer.
