Home Resources Submission in response to the Privacy Act Review Report 2022 | ADMA's response Compliance ADMA's Submission in Response to the Privacy Act Review Report 2022 Earlier this year, the Attorney General's Department (AGD) released its Privacy Act Review Report (Report). This Report outlined 116 proposals - many of which ADMA supports. There are however some proposals that could fundamentally change the data-driven marketing and advertising industry and in ADMA's opinion may do so without providing any further protection from privacy harm. Data-driven marketers are at the forefront of data collection, use, disclosure, handling, and management and have a responsibility to help shape the regulatory framework in which we operate. Therefore the Review of the Privacy Act is an important one for marketers. ADMA held a range of roundtable discussions and various other consultations with both members and non-members and its submission in response to the AGD's Report reflects the issues that were of most concern to the data-driven marketing industry.
