Queensland Transport's privacy plan
In 2001, the Queensland Government introduced a privacy scheme within the public sector. The scheme is contained within Information Standard 42 - Information Privacy (IS42), and is an administrative process based on the same principles that apply to the federal public sector under the Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988.
Under the 11 information privacy principles contained in IS42, Queensland Transport will responsibly manage the collection, use, storage and disclosure of client and employee personal information.
The aim is to protect both electronic and printed personal information about people from being lost, misused, inappropriately modified or disclosed.
Personal information
The definition of personal information is very broad. It applies to any information or opinion about an individual or which is reasonably capable of identifying an individual. For example, personal information includes a person’s name, address, age and any physical characteristics, such as height or eye colour and can also include sensitive information such as political loyalty, religious beliefs, medical history or financial details. This definition covers paper records, electronic records, video recordings, photographs and images.
