Download: Privacy Policy Checklist

Not sure whether your privacy policy actually meets OAIC expectations?

This checklist helps you step through the key elements the OAIC expects to see in a clear, compliant privacy policy. It highlights what should be included, what is often missing, and where policies commonly fall short of regulatory guidance.

It is designed for business owners, compliance teams and privacy leads who want a practical way to sense-check their privacy policy without wading through legislation or guidance documents.

Use as a self-check or as part of a broader privacy uplift. A practical starting point for improving privacy compliance and customer confidence.
