HAVE YOUR SAY Privacy Act Review Report 2022 Home Call for industry responses: Privacy Act Review March 2023 Compliance Call for Industry Responses In February, the Attorney General’s Department (AGD) released its “Privacy Act Review Report 2022” outlining 116 proposals in relation to the Privacy Act reform. While ADMA supports many of the proposals, there are some that, in application, could fundamentally change the data-driven marketing and advertising industry as a whole, and may have unintended impact, without achieving what was intended.
